One of our knowledgeable support technicians will spend 3 days or more onsite, completing a checklist of proactive activities to help ensure uptime and also working with staff to better understand and fully utilize the control system.

This is an annual fee which will give your site access to the latest updates and features of the iControl software suite.

We have a dedicated team of instrumentation techs that can complete a thorough analysis of your hazard monitoring equipment, assisting with configuration as well as testing and suggestions for improvement.

In a pinch and need additional onsite support? We can send either automation support (PLC, HMI) or an electrical and instrumentation technician (instruments, electrical work, etc.) onsite for an agreed upon period to help daily with location needs.

Without a contract, the site would pay $12,280 during the course of the year for the billable hours they incurred.
