Frequently asked questions
What's included in a complete solution package?
Each solution package includes a comprehensive foundation for implementation with some examples being: tested PLC code, industrial PC configurations, software configuration files, complete bills of materials with supplier links, CAD drawings, wiring diagrams, HMI screens, and detailed documentation. The solutions are designed with common industrial scenarios in mind, and you also get step-by-step implementation programs that walk you through installation, configuration, commissioning, and customization guidance for your specific facility needs. Our support community is available to help with application-specific questions and modifications.
Do I need specific PLC brands to use your solutions?
Our solutions are designed to integrate with your existing equipment regardless of brand. Some solutions may include a specific PLC or industrial PC that serves as the integration hub - chosen specifically for its ability to communicate with multiple PLC brands and protocols. This approach lets you keep your existing Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Schneider, or other equipment while adding IIoT capabilities. The implementation programs show you how to configure communications with your current systems.
How long does implementation typically take?
Most of our solutions can be deployed in days to weeks instead of the typical months of development time. Simple monitoring systems might take 2-3 days to implement, while more complex predictive maintenance or integrated data platforms could take 1-2 weeks. The exact timeline depends on your facility's complexity and existing infrastructure.
What level of automation experience do I need?
You should have basic familiarity with PLCs, industrial networks, and control systems. Our solutions are designed for industrial automation engineers, system integrators, and machine builders who understand the fundamentals but want to skip the lengthy research and development phase for IIoT implementations.
Can I modify the solutions for my specific equipment?
Absolutely. That's one of the key benefits of our approach. The implementation programs don't just show you what to do—they explain the engineering decisions behind each choice so you can confidently modify, scale, and adapt the solutions to your specific equipment, processes, and requirements.
What ongoing support do you provide?
You get access to our community of automation professionals where you can ask questions, share challenges, and get troubleshooting help. We also provide solution updates and improvements as technology evolves. Plus, our implementation programs are designed to make you self-sufficient so you can maintain and expand the systems yourself.
How does this help my individual career growth?
Beyond solving your current automation challenge, our solutions build valuable IIoT expertise that enhances your career prospects. You'll understand the engineering principles behind system design, gain hands-on experience with modern industrial technologies, and develop troubleshooting skills that make you the go-to automation expert. This expertise is highly valued in manufacturing and positions you well for advancement in Industry 4.0 initiatives.
How does this compare to traditional training programs or DIY development?
Traditional approaches force you to choose: get the solution OR develop skills. Training programs teach concepts but don't deliver working systems. DIY development takes months and may not work reliably. Our approach gives you both - proven solutions that work immediately, plus structured learning that builds lasting expertise. You gain advanced IIoT skills while deploying systems that deliver immediate value to your organization.
