PLC and HMI Programming

Most modern control systems employ a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) as a means to control motors, pumps, valves and various other equipment used in a process. Computer based HMI (Human Machine Interface) products provide the means by which process personnel interact with the PLC control system. A well designed combination of PLC’s and HMI’s can be a solid foundation for your process automation needs.

Van Ert Electric blends the right components with customized design to build quality automation solutions.  Our goal is to provide efficient, well documented programs that blend well with existing system logic  and maintenance personnel expertise.  Our extensive system control history and knowledge of current development platforms allows us to provide proven technologies that can improve your process efficiencies.
