  • Re-programming from scratch is time consuming and expensive. Call EPSI to discuss your back-up needs!

    • Our customer lost his PLC program and did not have a back-up. All his machines have different PLCs and HMIs. EPSI created back-ups for future use.

  • Our customer has a printing machine that has not been run for five years and was recently moved. After reassembly, it would not run. EPSI was called in to fix the problem. The primary machine has an Allen Bradley PLC and HMI. The machine feeders are controlled with an Omron PLC and Omron HMI. EPSI was brought onsite to make the machine run again.
