Strategy Development
"The
idea of replacing the outdated controls and drives by a PLC and off the
shelf components, will allow for significant reduction in operating personnel.
Though it was a new development, your ability to properly evaluate our
need resulted in production efficiencies at levels surpassing those the
machine was originally commissioned."

personnel and lower running costs. Utilizing cutting-edge technologies
such as automation is crucial to staying ahead of competition. To help
our customers meet this challenge, C-P-S offers a comprehensive set of
consulting services.
Our goal is
to create business value for our customers through implementing of advanced
automation strategies - aligning technology and information, turning data
into knowledge, effecting improvements in function, quality and profitability.
We provide customers with services in areas such as technology deployment,
performance optimization and functional specifications.

engineering organization, C-P-S provides an impartial analysis of customer's
present and future application needs. Without bias to any manufacturer,
we can recommend solutions that are cost-effective, functional
and responsive to the technical possibilities of the project. We excel
at special projects that incorporate new technologies with existing systems. |
| Performance
Review - The impact of additions and changes over time can result in
significant performance degradations. An on-site inspection may reveal
inefficiencies and help identify opportunities for improvements.
Whether you are looking for an upgrade or for cost savings, our staff
have the experience and skills to asses what the options are.
Technical
Assistance - Senior-level members of our staff of degreed engineers
will provide consulting services with in-depth knowledge of hardware, software
and system dynamics. They know how to translate your objectives into a
viable application. By partnering with these specialists you gain virtual
engineering expertise to more effectively meet the challenge of integrating
advanced technology into your new or retrofit application.
Automation
Planning -
Our technical team, in cooperation with your internal team, can develop
a "big picture" of your requirements, contribute a crucial perspective
on your operation, and help return the results you need. We offer both,
strategic (goal=what) and tactical (method=how) planning services. Strategically,
C-P-S will facilitate a fundamental rethinking and redesign to achieve
dramatic results in selected performance measures. Tactically, we will
work to define specific needs, then recommend a best-in-class solution
to address those needs.
Partnering
Agreement - Using a permanent outsourced service provider may be the
most proactive and cost-effective means for managing and maximizing automation
technology investment. It minimizes the reliance on the internal
staff and unnecessary headcount, and allows concentration on the business
of managing and growing core activities. We work with the customer to provide
only those services the customer does not want to keep in-house, or we
can assume total responsibility. Our services have allowed several organizations
to develop automation infrastructure without having to hire and manage
a high-tech staff. |
