Automation system integrators are contract engineering firms that can design and
implement automated production facilities for end-users lacking resources to do the job
themselves. System integrators bring specialized engineering skills to automation projects
and can supplement the end-users often understaffed engineering department.
It is the integrators job to keep up with the latest technology trends and
provide the best solutions for the end-users automation problems.
Some integrators specialize in just the design phases of a project; others provide
implementation and start-up services as well. 'Turnkey' system integrators can handle the
whole project from start to finish.
