Plant floor networking

FAS can help your plant floor communicate WIP vs. finished product in real time.  We can evaluate your current needs and provide a system as simple as a music board all the way up to real time networking.  Do you need a simple revolving light or an alert that goes straight to your engineers desk of pager.

Project Management / Evaluation of designs / Engineering translation

  • You need automation to compete, but how do you spec out what you need?
  • Your engineering team has a great idea, but you need a second opinion before you stay GO!
  • Are you looking for a full time engineering manager but need short term help to keep the project going?

Whether you are looking for Engineering/project management or simple guidance to translate the equations into English, FAS can assist you at any level.  Some of the best engineering manager are not engineers, they just know the right questions to ask.
