Industrial Technology

We understand that your factory automation and robotics needs are unique. With strategy, collaboration, and skill, we give you custo- mized controls and software that directly integrate with your system. From machine controls to inspection solutions to robotics, we’ll use our expertise to simplify and streamline your entire process.

Robotics

From pick-and-place robots to cobots, from palletizing to precision assembly, we take pride in providing our customers with safe and effective robotic integration solutions. Our experience in robotics is vast and includes vision and integration, complex pathing, and more. From Fanuc to Motoman, you can be assured that we will help you figure it out, delivering a reliable result for all your robotic needs. Using model simulation and shop floor programming, we can improve and enhance your robot cell throughput, uptime, and mean time to recover.

PLC Programing

We’ve been working with programmable logic controllers, pro- grammable automation controllers (PLCs and PACs), and computer-based operational controls for over 30 years. We know a thing or two about helping our customers choose the best solutions for their needs. Our engineers are fluent in many programming platforms (Rockwell, Siemens, Modicon, GE, and Mitsubishi, to name a few), and we work with the equipment you’ve already got in place to make the most of your existing systems.

Factory Automation & Robotics

HMI & SCADA Development

At FZ, you’ll have developers for all your supervisor control and data acquisition (SCADA) needs. We understand that these solutions are crucial in optimizing your operations and understanding the interaction between your employees and equipment. That’s why our engineers and designers are experts in updating existing legacy platforms or in creating new solutions for your industry. Over the years, we’ve worked with manufacturing, recycling, material handling, water and wastewater treatment, and food and beverage industries to improve uptime, reduce the cost of manufacturing, and ensure reliable operation from start to finish. We are able to select, install, and control from source to interface across your entire business. We have experience with all major SCADA packages, including Ignition, Microsoft, Wonderware, Rockwell, Citect, and WinCC.

Vision Inspection

We apply our knowledge and understanding of industrial vision to improve real-time inspection solutions. By utilizing machine vision inspection technologies and integration, our solutions can increase production, minimize defects, improve quality control, and reduce costs. Our vision inspection systems are compatible with dimensional, defect, character recognition and verification, and color analysis and verification.

We understand that technology can be tricky, especially on an industrial level, but we’re passionate about helping manufacturers capitalize on disruptive technology. And getting started doesn’t have to be hard. We have a simple, step-by-step process that will shift the mindset of your organization to be technology-first, ensuring that our solutions work for you and not the other way around.

Data is only beneficial if you know how to use it. That’s where Feyen Zylstra comes in. We’ll help you acquire, manage, and utilize your production floor data to boost product quality and efficiency. Whatever the IIoT platform or technology, we’ll help you get a clear look at what’s happening in your plant. We’ll help you bridge the gap from the shop floor to the C-suite, providing you with a dashboard of actionable data, production tracking, OEE calculations, alerts, and machine status.

IIoT & Digital Solutions

As a UL Certified Panel shop, we build panels of all sizes and complexities to fit our customers’ varying levels of control and automation needs. As your turnkey solution partner, our team of experts can design custom solutions from the bottom up or take an existing design and bring it to life.

Panel Build

We know it hasn’t always been easy to stay connected to what’s happening on the plant floor—but that was then, and this is now. Today, we’re bringing the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to your shop with a secure, reliable network designed for wherever you are on your I4.0 journey. We never take a one-size-fits-all approach, which means we provide customized, stair-step solutions to manage your OT assets, and make inroads toward an OT/IT convergence. We’re the experts when it comes to secure industrial networking infrastructure for today’s manufacturing and the demands of tomorrow.
