Solutions

AIC has decades of experience providing real solutions and ongoing support to customers in a variety of industries.

No matter which industry you are in we have learned that customers need more from an integrator than warm bodies to write code. Our customers want a partner who can develop workable solutions and provide ongoing support.

 
  • Our automation specialists and support teams can work with your plans or help you identify the best technology to use to automate or upgrade your processes. If you don’t have a plan, our automation specialists can develop a process description based on your objectives and existing hardware. Once you approve the process description, AIC can design, program, and install your system.

  • When the complexity of your system makes component changes a challenge, let AIC help. Sometimes, even a like-for-like change can result in the need to perform certain decommissioning/commissioning activities. AIC automation specialists and assistants can quickly gather the requirements for making a change to your system, which saves you time and reduces your risk of prolonged process interruptions.

  • AIC offers a complete turnkey solution for your control panel needs from design to construction. If you only need the design, we can help with that. If you only want us to build a panel based on your design, no problem. If you also want us to install your control panels, we’ve got you covered. AIC can assist you in ensuring your panels are designed, built, and installed to meet your goals.

  • When your system goes down, our team springs into action. System downtime is an urgent condition, but failure to follow methodical troubleshooting procedures can make a bad situation worse. AIC automation specialists and technicians have years of troubleshooting experience and will not stop until the issue is identified and resolved.

  • Our team can take your project plans and turn them into reality. Our project management services span a wide range of needs including critical path execution, coordination of subcontractors, material receiving, field change order management, and more.

  • Successful manufacturers are reducing expenses while improving quality by using precise process data that is displayed in a format everyone can understand. Part of AIC’s approach to workable solutions is to ensure your new automation system is designed to reduce siloed processes and inconsistent data that is useless for decision making. AIC designed data management systems can optimize your connected technology across many distributed sources and formats.

  • One of the most important aspects of any new project or update to an existing system is proper documentation of the final system design. We employ some of the most skilled draftsmen who are ready to provide you with new or updated drawings and schematics crafted with precision.

  • As anyone working in regulated industries knows, changes to validated systems must be made carefully, and thorough documentation must be maintained. Our Validation Assistance will fill the gap between the process of designing the tests and the activities associated with carrying out and documenting these tests.

  • The ultimate success of any new or upgraded system is how well it delivers the results you expect. Even the best project success can be defeated if the system cannot be operated and maintained in an efficient manner. We consider training through all phases of a system’s life cycle to be critical. Training does not end when the project is turned over to production, therefore we offer ongoing support and training to ensure that your team remains up to date with your system and its processes.
