Top Hex Tackles The Credit Crunch

The situation is uncertain for the manufacturing sector and there is enormous pressure to cut costs and improve efficiency. This could be a good time to consider a Top Hex electronic controller.

You may already have a Programmable Logic Controller or PLC in your control system, which is a popular choice. Although they are great if you are building a one-off system, a PLC may be an expensive option if you are producing multiple units or variations on a theme. You may not need the real-time-clock, motor control module, communications, etc., etc., fitted to the PLC, but you still have to pay for them. Top Hex supply customised controllers, so you only pay for the facilities you need.

If your control system consists of a temperature controller, a couple of relays, a timer and a power supply, the individual component costs might be low. There will however be a significant labour cost in wiring between these components; this cost can be eliminated with a Top Hex controller. All wiring is direct to the controller, and you can even specify the type of connectors you would like.

If you want to enhance the appearance of your machine, a range of displays is available. Whether you opt for a simple text display or a full colour graphic display, your product will have a designated, professional image that you cannot achieve with off-the-shelf components.

A Top Hex controller can be a cost effective solution, whether you are producing 10 or 10,000 units, and could make a contribution to your company’s efforts to beat the credit crunch.
