Automation Systems - Solutions

Whether you are designing a new automation system or retrofitting an existing system, Olympus Controls can help you with every step of your next project. Our philosophy has always been to do our homework up front. Through our extensive needs assessment and automation system audit, we evaluate your system's needs regarding performance and budget, determine technical requirements, and help you specify several different options with varying levels of complexity and cost.

For your next automation system, you may want us to supply you with the components and integrate the solution yourself, or you may wish to outsource all of the engineering responsibilities to us for a complete turnkey solution. Olympus Controls and/or one of our Integration Partners has the engineering talent and project management skills to undertake any size application.

While some companies attempt to take on any job, we specialize in automation applications that include the products that we distribute. Consequently, we can draw upon the expanding base of experience that we have had with some of the most sophisticated machine automation products available.

Our solutions are more than hardware and software. They are the seamless integration of research, design, development, implementation, and support.

Automation Systems Audit

Top

We know that a successful automation system requires input and interaction from all levels; thus, we work in concert with your entire staff - Engineering, Production, Maintenance and Operations - to understand your current capabilities, goals and the parameters that affect possible solutions.

Olympus Controls' extensive Automation System Audit ensures that our applications are successfully implemented. The degree of involvement by your staff and ours varies with each project, but typically follows the example below.

Project Phase	Responsibility
	Customer/Olympus Controls
Research: study and discuss the current situation with the customer
Formulate objectives
Review existing data, any related application histories, etc.
Forecast relevant industry trends/changes
Draft initial proposal and specifications
Review and revise
Final proposal and schedules, training, etc.
Implement solutions
Post-project review
Ongoing support

Selectable Levels of Integration

Top

Olympus Controls' selectable levels of integration provide "perfect fit" solutions for OEMs, Machine Builders, Integrators, and End-Users. We let you pick the level that suits your needs and fits your capabilities.
	Components: Many customers, especially OEMs, prefer to purchase the individual component pieces and integrate them into their own machine designs. Olympus Controls has one of the broadest ranges of machine automation products available, and these products are the foundation of the solutions we offer. If you have the experience and capability to do it yourself, our innovative and ease-to-use products with help you get the job done more efficiently.
Component level products, Customer integration required, Lowest cost solution
	Subsystems: Many integrators and Machine Builders find it efficient to break down the full system in to subsystems to allow specialization within given technology categories. This approach allows the customer to differentiate between the electrical and mechanical aspects of the machine design.
Reduced design engineering tasks, Straightforward integration and connectivity, Technology Focus
	Complete Systems: Many End-Users choose to integrate a full electromechanical system into their machines. Our systems integration partners have the knowledge, experience, and support to ensure that your machine automation goals are met.
Minimal design engineering required, Ensured component compatibility, Single source solution.
