Automation and Controls

We have a great respect and appreciation for those who strive for excellence in manufacturing. You balance change and complexity with an understanding that relatively small things can have a dramatic impact on production, performance, and profitability. And you pursue continuous improvement in order to grow – or even maintain – your market position. Polaris Automation offers a full complement of solutions, including manufacturing software, engineering services and plant floor hardware. We can help you achieve higher customer satisfaction with increased production efficiencies and lower production costs. We’ve been in this business since 1984, leading others, just like you, along the path to prepare for the digital factory of today. We take the charts, diagrams and acronyms and bring them to life. And we’ll stay with you every step of the way.
