Industrial Data Solutions can provide design services for new machine and process controls as well as providing retrofit applications.
Many older machines become more efficient with a controls upgrade. Industrial Data Solutions has assisted many of our customers by upgrading their existing equipment with newer controls. Once completed, they noticed improved machine operation, less downtime, improved MTTR (mean time to repair), and easier operation of their controls.
Industrial Data Solutions can engineer complete machine controls for your facility, providing the engineering experience to complete all of your projects in an efficient and timely manner.
PLC programming is the key to machine control. From simple machine operation changes to complete program development, we provide the engineering resources for all of your PLC programming needs. We also offer training for your engineering team, a service that many of our customers have found to be extremely beneficial. |

Industrial Data Solutions provides PLC and operator interface programming services to change your existing system into a more efficient machine while providing a user friendly interface. We work with the end user to identify the needs of the machine operator and we program from that point of view. The programming standards that we follow, from program structure to interface color schemes, provide a common look and feel throughout the system.
With each project, we provide detailed operations manuals, using screen images and any other essential images, to show all functions of the control system. These functions are described using step-by-step procedures. These manuals come standard with any system completed by Single Source Advantage. Maintenance and engineering support is also provided at completion.
Operator Interface Unit (OIU) or Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) exist to link a person to a machine. Most modern automated systems have moved to PC-based SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) systems. These systems enable you to view and interact with the working of an entire operation through a display screen of the production process. This interface has its own processing capabilities so it can handle complex functions without endangering the core control system, which remains controlled by a PLC.
Electromechanical panels with pushbuttons and indicator lights are used for the simplest systems. Control panels containing small terminals or multi-line LCD displays are developed for those operations requiring simple choices or a few data values to be displayed. SCADA systems utilize a full complement of development and display tools to fully manage and report on a complex machine, process, or production line.
Industrial Data Solutions develops operator interface systems to fit your needs, complexity, and budget. We offer complete design, layout, and programming of all types of operator interface systems, standard programming of third party interface programs, as well as custom programming. |

Industrial Data Solutions is a leader in vision inspection systems and we can provide you with a vision system whether you are new to vision inspection or you want to update your current system. The possibilities for vision inspection applications in the manufacturing field are nearly endless. With the rising need for quality, a vision system may be what you need to succeed in your competitive industry.
Vision inspection systems are ideal for validation for dispensing applications or component presence, measurement, multi-tasking checks, automatic assembly validation, and data matrix reading. Anything the human eye can see, a vision system can inspect without fault of human error. You will have available to you a quality control force that does not have the need for breaks, has increased speed, increased sight, and is reliable in the repeatability of defect detection.
This superior technology results in higher quality products, lower costs, and this system will rapidly pay for itself.

Industrial Data Solutions can design, build, program, and install a complete data collection system for a single machine or for an entire plant. We can interface to any machine, with or without an existing PC or PLC.
With increasing operating costs and growing competition, it is essential that production is running at maximum efficiency. A quality data collection system is necessary if you want to reduce your MTTR (mean time to repair). Single Source Advantage can develop a complete data collection system to aid your maintenance personnel in debugging and repairing your machinery. The system will monitor inputs, outputs, faults, and all other critical data. This will translate to reduced machine downtime, improved operator efficiency, and a significant reduction in maintenance costs.
All critical data is collected and stored, allowing for custom reports to be generated through the interface screens. Report generation is also necessary for monitoring your operation, and Industrial Data Solutions can also provide you with automated programs to generate reports for the critical information in your process. These reports can then be viewed via the internet or printed for personal viewing.
Industrial LED Marquee Displays are an optional, yet valuable, addition to the data collection unit. These units will display real-time data from production machinery for all plant personnel to see.
