"The idea of replacing the outdated controls and drives by a PLC and off the shelf components, will allow for significant reduction in operating personnel.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."
Domino Sugar Corporation

"It was great to be able to put the 'team concept' of project engineering to work and I look forward to many future assignments."

Automation is proven to be a feasible investment that pays good long-term dividends with improved efficiency, maintained quality, reduced dependence on 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.

As an independent 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.
