April 2, 2012 — “Find an Integrator” from the Control System Integrators Association (CSIA) helps locate a control system integrator to perform projects and provide service on industrial automation equipment and systems. The tool provides a complete list that is available free online. The tool searches for integrators who design, implement and test automation for numerous industries. Integrator solutions include automated plant utility systems, conveyor and assembly line control, ingredient tracking and tracing, performance and OEE, reporting and visualization, packaging, systems for cleaning in place (CIP) and many other applications.
In addition, CSIA offers the 2012 Membership Directory that catalogs more than 300 partner, associate member and certified integrators and their contact information. “We’re seeing greater demand for the services provided by CSIA members,” explained CSIA Executive Director Bob Lowe, who noted a recent survey of members showed that more than half expect to grow by at least 20 percent in 2012. “More manufacturers are looking to experienced control system integrators to turn technology into increased production. “CSIA membership and certification is viewed by our members’ clients as a differentiator in many industries,” he continued.
“Plant managers, directors of quality assurance and many others are using the list of CSIA members and certified companies as a starting point when selecting an integrator and writing RFPs. ‘Find an Integrator’ is a convenient way to hire qualified control system integrators who can drive growth and manage business risk.” Control system integrators offer many technology solutions to help businesses reduce cost, increase production, use less energy and minimize their environmental impact.
