Process Control Systems

WHAT CUSTOMERS WANT

At The Control Systems Group, we understand that our customers want a process control systems that becomes a value-added, integral part of their factory. What they need is a process control systems integrator who can deliver a fully-engineered factory automation product that:

1. Gives operators the information they need to run the line efficiently
2. Provides data that can drive continuous process improvement
3. Communicates with customers' Manufacturing Execution Systems
4. Is robust, reliable and uses components that are supported by proven suppliers
5. Is well-documented and easy to troubleshoot and make changes
6. Is designed to allow for expansion as the factory grows
7. Uses Open System software and network architecture
8. Demonstrates complete systems integration, connecting all the factory automation subsystems
   (from visions systems or bar code readers to robot and motion controllers)
9. Employs a field bus technology such as DeviceNet that provides connectivity

WHAT OUR CONTROL SYSTEMS DO

CSG control systems take several forms:

• Batch controls that perform heat treat or other process functions
• Software projects that integrate factory floor control with a customer's Manufacturing Execution System
• Engineered MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations) projects
• Machine control systems for material handling systems
• Operating controls for CSG turnkey factory automation systems
• Operating controls for CSG turnkey paint finishing systems
