Premier Alliance Changes The Face Of Machine Automation

AutomationSolutions International and four strategic National Automation Technology Partners announce the formation of The Premier Alliance Partnership (PAP) - a strategic partnership between AutomationSolutions and industry leading technology suppliers that provide seamless connectivity for machine automation solutions that minimize the path to successful integration. Through open control standards, solutions from the Alliance Partners establish a significant competitive advantage in the machine automation market.

The technologies offered by the alliance provide a new open control strategy for machine automation customers to achieve a number of goals that simply cannot be realized through proprietary controls. Premier Alliance Partners share information so seamlessly that one hardware platform can be integrated across most machine automation solutions.

"This alliance creates a totally new approach to machine automation. It provides a truly unique advantage over proprietary control providers and other PC-based control offerings available in the industry today," says Scott Johnson, President & CEO of AutomationSolutions. "We believe that our Open Architecture Strategy positions ASI as a leader in machine automation. This alliance is a giant step forward in redefining a new industry standard for technology solutions and services," he says.

Premier Alliance Partners will also cooperate in Internet training programs, technical seminars, promotional activities, new technology development activities and other information access and product development programs.

Current Premier Alliance Partners include Granite Microsystems, Inc. (PC Technology and custom PC configurations), Fuji Electric (operator interface terminals), AlterSys, Inc. (HMI, SCADA, soft PLC and embedded technology), MDSI (soft motion technology) and AutomationSolutions and their Automation Resource Centers.

AutomationSolutions is an independently owned supplier of automation solutions to industry, with more than two dozen offices across North America. AutomationSolutions offers a wide array of products and services from component level solutions to complete turnkey systems.
