CPS’s experience of legacy systems also aids in the modernization process of aging technology. Upgrade procedures have been standardized at CPS that align with the migration paths developed with our technology partners. By utilizing these standards, the development and implementation of these modern replacement solutions are efficient and cost-effective.
From PLC machine control to DCS and SCADA, CPS’s solutions cater to all applications.
Our team also understands the importance of data collection and reporting. This is especially important when dealing in GMP and regulated spaces. Not only is collecting the data important, but interpreting the data is even more crucial to the success of the application. CPS’s team has developed solutions that make the data readily available through PC and HMI based solutions, as well as plant wide access to the reporting tools and modules available to track, chart, calculate, and report the data pertaining to the application. In addition to the software solutions, CPS has an in-house UL, ATEX, and CSA rated panel shop.
This in house approach allows for CPS to provide a single source approach to all our automation solutions.
