Business:

Solacon provides control systems, primarily programmable logic controller (PLC) based, to both the continuous process and discrete manufacturing industries across North America. We have experience with a diverse number of programmable logic controller types.

Over 70% of our work is done within 200 miles of our head office in Toronto Ontario, Canada.

As a joint marketing partner of several major equipment suppliers, we are called upon frequently to support customers with maintenance where communications and control systems are concerned.

• Feasibility studies (complete with cost justification).
• Project definition and specification of all control devices (from sensors through to final elements).
• True "turn key" implementation including design, programming, and commissioning.
• Fully installed systems.
• Operator interface design, development and implementation.
• Multi-vendor communication networks including custom drivers.
• Interfacing plant floor data in a bi-directional mode with in-plant or corporate main frame computers.
• Complete operator, maintenance, systems, and management training.
• On-going maintenance and software support on a contract basis.

Fees:

SOLACON can quote engineering on a hourly basis but in most cases provide complete systems for a fixed price with a measurable milestone payment schedule including a holdback for customer acceptance.
