“With the vast amount of automation projects we have completed, we have been able to categorise levels of automation needs from our customers," added Patrick Dorman, Director of Automation and Electrical Engineering. "Some may need a simple system with only BMS automation and control options, while others have more comprehensive needs with BMS and an integrated 21 CFR Part 11 compliant EMS system. In either case, we can lead customers through the technical details of each offering streamlining their automation design and ensuring a quality and tested offering.”

Earlier in April, the company also announced that its long-time CEO would be retiring and picked a successor.
