Testimonial 01
| Our plant has evolved over the years and as such has a variety of control hardware and software form various suppliers and manufacturers ranging from modern to historic unsupported versions. Whenever we had a automation issue Shane would leadup the diagnostics and repairs with focus and energy. It is obvious that Shane is very comfortable dealing with a range of situations on a variety of equipment ranging from a modern PLC right back to an obsolete frequency drive. This versatility and his can do attitude along with his inherent ability to quickly get to grips with a bespoke piece of plant is a huge asset to any organization that he is providing a service to. Also, on bigger projects where new builds and machine start-up’s are the focus, Shane has an efficient logic and and an ability to implement organisation to his work that advances any automation project safely and quickly to commissioning stage. I have no hesitation in recommending Shane for any automation and control projects and I wish him the best of luck with his expanding business. |
