Mechanical Engineering:

Software Tools
- Solid Works
- AutoCAD

Production Systems Incorporated has created an extensive library of standard engineering blocks that is integrated into these Mechanical Engineering Software tools. These libraries along with highly talented and experienced engineers allow Production Systems Incorporated to design projects quickly and accurately. This reduces delivery times and start-up times, making deliveries of complex projects much shorter than our competitors!!!!


Controls Engineering:

PLC's
- Allen Bradley
- Siemens
- Modicon
- GE
- Omron

High Level Programming Languages:
- C
- C++
- Visual C++
- Visual Basic


Production Systems Incorporated has developed Software and Hardware control blocks that can easily move from one Controls platform to another. This Hardware and Software Engineering method allows Production Systems Incorporated to accommodate any controls platform a client will require.



Manufacturing:

Production Systems Incorporated has a full line machine and assembly shop on-site. We have CNC mills, lathes, and grinders as well as other machining equipment that is needed to manufacture custom components for its clients. Our Assembly shop is designed to effectively build, test and run-off the client's project on-site. Production Systems Incorporated adheres to the highest manufacturing and assembly standards in the industry. Our run-off and project acceptance procedures are second to none!!! With these procedures and practices the client is guaranteed a high quality and trouble-free system.


Project Management:

Software Tools:

- Microsoft Project Manager

From the initial concept phase through delivery and setup on your floor each step in the designing and building of your equipment is planned. Realistic time lines are developed and closely monitored. Progress is continually reviewed to minimize potential delays or to meet aggressive delivery schedules. Timely, detailed updates are communicated to you during the entire project.

Our Minimum System Acceptance Procedures:

50/20 Dry Run

A 50-hour runoff test is required for robotic and custom automation products. The OEM's test data may be used in lieu of on-site test when approved by the customer. A 20-hour continuous dry run is required for all machinery and equipment within the system. The following guidelines will be followed during test runs:

•Test runs will be performed at Production Systems Incorporated’s facility, or as directed by the customer.
•Customer personnel will be on site at the start of the test run unless customer waives this requirement.
•Production Systems Incorporated will provide necessary resources to run and service the machinery during test run.
•Production Systems Incorporated will be responsible for all components during test.
•Time required for the test run is included in the delivery schedule.
•Failure during the test run will require a restart of the 20-hour run unless waived by the customer.


Phase 1 of Initial Process Performance – Preliminary Evaluation

•A sample run will be the first formalized process evaluation with approved parts.
•This test is primarily for the benefit of Production Systems Incorporated and may be performed without customer representation.
•All parts will be identified by sequence and be available for review by the customer.


Phase 2 of Initial Process Performance – Pp

•Pp is a measure of process performance irrespective of tolerance location.
•This evaluation will be conducted at Production Systems Incorporated.
•The customer will specify the following requirements:
oSample size / type
oFrequency
oTotal quantity
oCustomer representation requirements
oAcceptance criteria


Phase 3 of Initial Process Performance – Ppk
•Ppk is a measure of process performance and how it relates to tolerance location while considering tolerance width.
•This evaluation will be conducted at Production Systems Incorporated.
•The customer will specify the following requirements:
oSample size / type
oFrequency
oTotal quantity
oCustomer representation requirements
oAcceptance criteria


Reliability

Projection of machinery reliability is the final part of the pre-delivery acceptance procedure.
Production Systems Incorporated will demonstrate through documented reliability and maintainability engineering analysis that equipment is designed and built to the specified reliability requirement.

Repeat 20-Hour Dry Run

To verify the as-installed condition of the equipment the system must cycle at production speeds continuously for 20-hours.


Short Term Process Study

This check is to be performed under production conditions. Data from this Short Term Process Study is to be collected and recorded. The customer may specify specific data summarization.


Long Term Process Study

This study is to be performed at the customer plant per the individual plant’s requirements.
