Innotech specializes in building rugged, high quality equipment for the food processing industry. We can incorporate new equipment into an existing setup to increase efficiency and thru-put.
Just like an older engine, process lines need tune-ups. Your line and equipment are running well, but you know there are advances in technology that could be integrated to increase your setup’s efficiency. Our team evaluates any potential improvements to craft a solution for your needs.
There are certain pieces of equipment that simply cannot be replaced. Luckily our team has experience working new integrations into existing hardware. Consider adding process controls and automation to setup to increase efficiency.
Sometimes you have an idea of what you need, or a list of specifications for a piece of equipment you are looking at. Our team will gladly meet with you to go over your ideas, and give their feedback on the best ways to design and manufacture it.
After we have the first set of conceptual drawings complete, we meet to review the initial designs. Our team may request any existing drawings or programs be shared. Utilizing your feedback and input, we implement any changes to maintain the direction of the program. Our team will then suggest the best course of action based on experience with previous applications.
Our next meeting involves reviewing the proposed migration path and timeline. All factors are taken into consideration to align our capabilities and capacity with your timeframe needs. This usually involves a high level of coordination and also needs to account for down time during cut over, in addition to many more variables that our experienced team takes into consideration for every project.
Our team conducts a full checkout of systems with the newly-installed controls. This includes many tests under various conditions to look for any potential issues. Our goal is to ensure complete customer satisfaction with your project. We provide your team with the ongoing support and tools they need to keep your operations running smoothly.
