The FGR Manifesto
FGR Automation believes in working with our clients to fully understand their needs and unique problems. It is through this collaboration that we have become a leader, in the development of Advanced Automation and Control Systems. For over 30 years, our custom data driven systems have been implemented on a broad spectrum of projects, in the USA and across the globe. As hardware and software has advanced, we have capitalized on this, to improve performance and features. FGR PLC-PC integrated, data driven systems, offer distinct advantages that contribute directly to Productivity, Profitability, Quality and Safety. Our philosophy is to use readily available hardware and structure software in a modular format, as necessary to facilitate database transactions, as well as additions, changes and modifications. We can help you develop a specification and scope of work for your automation project. FGR has implemented automation projects worldwide, from our facilities in Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles.
Our Products - Industry 4.0 (IIoT)
FGR, engineers and develops, packaged cloud based or premise server systems. This enables users to remotely monitor and control any sensor, process control or automation system, from a mobile device or PC anywhere in the world. Comprehensive and intuitive Data Analytics allow the user to configure customized dashboards, using trend charts, histograms, accumulators and map locators from our widget library. Alarms and reports can be configured and sent via email and text message services to designated engineers and managers.
Additionally, integration from this platform to ‘Big Data’ systems like Azure, AWS and others which, provide the core for deep learning and AI, are seamless. Either cloud or premise method allows for all features for the tracking and analysis of production, using real-time data.
For users with existing PLC or PC controllers, FGR manufactures an affordable hardware solution that will allow tag data from a PLC/PC to be polled and sent to the cloud, without any need to access the core PLC program and incur associated risks. The system is scalable from 1 sensor of any type, to thousands of mixed data points. A secure, end to end 256 bit encrypted VPN tunnel allows for monitoring, analysis, starting, stopping and changes to the control system from anywhere. Restrictions can be programmed and pass-code protection implemented, for this feature.
Solar powered units are available for remote locations, where there is no utility power service. Resetting of a remote processor can be implemented from any authorized mobile device .
