Warehouse, Assembly and Testing

With an extensive inventory, we’re able to ship according to your schedule and get you replacement parts when you need them, in normal or emergency conditions.

You’ll find Applied Controls especially useful when you need value-added services such as testing of components and systems, special repair services and custom assembly of DIN rails, subsystems and other equipment. By sourcing these essential cost centers to our engineers, you leverage their skill and experience to augment your capabilities as required, without adding payroll.

Enterprise-Wide Control And Connectivity

Seamless integration means the factory communicates both horizontally and vertically: plant-wide, and from field level to the boardroom. Open standards free you to select the components that are right for your application and be assured of compatibility.

Linked via internationally-recognized standard interfaces and protocols, every part of the factory contributes to and draws from a comprehensive database. Updated in real time, the system provides accurate information enabling you to maximize productivity, prolong component life and schedule downtime.
