WHAT WE DID:
TECHNOLOGIES:
PLC PROGRAMMING
BUSINESS PROBLEM:
We have provided a team of qualified engineers with competences in PLC software development. At the moment we are performing tests and pre-commissioning of prototype programs for automatic conveyor systems. In the near future we are to take part in commissioning of entire technological systems at customer site in China.
EFFECTS:
Software development and commissioning of PLC based conveyor system was successful. Our team carries out the work itself, performs pre-commissioning, develops PLC software, performs functional tests and will be responsible for the commissioning of conveyor system build for BMW. Our team also exceeds the quality and efficiency of Durr's, becoming a key competence center in industrial automation.
Dürr is one of the world's leading suppliers of products, systems, and services, mainly for automotive manufacturing. Polish branch of Dürr specializes in conveyor system solutions.
Due to the lack of engineers with adequate competences, very precise and challenging project schedule and the commitment of Dürr engineers in other projects there was a need to include in project engineers provided by a trusted partner.
SUCCESS STORY:COMMISSIONING OF CONVEYOR SYSTEM (AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY)

Why Offshore?Quality Output: Offshore production centers promise high-quality results and when managed properly can deliver on a consistent basis. 24 x 7 Working Model: Almost all the offshore manufacturing facilities have rotating shifts so that production and customer queries can be tented to around the clock.Cost Benefits: As the wages are lower, it will have a minimal effect on the overall cost spent on the product.No Extra Expenses: Once you’ve outsourced the desired work, you don’t need to spend extra bucks on at home infrastructure.The People: The majority of people you will deal with in low cost producing countries are adaptable to change, act politely with the utmost sincerity and time over prove to be the best people to work with.
Why to outsource IT at all?
Why Nearshore?Similar Business Model: The idea is to move or find production in the nearest country with the lowest wage or material costs.Same Time Zone: You can be in more control of the manufacturing process by being able to communicate in real-time which can lead to a better working relationship. Lesser Travel Costs: Closer country allows for use of cheaper modes of transportation or less expensive flights.Less Risk Involved: For the most part neighboring countries have a good idea of what’s happening around them; Politically, Legally, Economically, Financially, Socially, etc. Cultural: As the culture of neighboring countries are more or less same, there is an existing expectation of how to conduct business with one and other
