Working Toward Your Solution
Our team is able to provide solutions for all types of applications. While we do have customizable hardware/software solutions available for utilization by our clients, we are also able to use off the shelf technology.
Expected Steps for MOD or other MES implementations include:
- Data Collection of Client Requirements.
- Site Survey of existing System/Process.
- Development of proposed solution and commercial offering for review with client (typically 2 weeks post site survey).
- Deployment of Solution and training for client.
- Available Support from CEC post implementation.
