AUTOMATION 38
DSG Automation Group
Automation can be a dirty job. Just look at the
lead story in this section. When Helmer Dairy
needed to move manure – lots of manure – an
automated system was the perfect answer. Let the
machines do the dirty work so that your people
can do their jobs faster and more efficiently.
In fact, the automation system at Helmer Dairy
is an excellent example of how technology from
DSG can make a production facility work smarter.
Not only does it take care of a pressing need
(removing the waste from the cattle’s resting
area), but it recycles nearly everything so that the
whole production becomes greener, cleaner and
significantly leaner.
That’s right, automating your production tasks
doesn’t just keep your workforce happy (nobody
likes a dirty, dangerous or repetitive job), but it
can reduce the so-called “carbon footprint” that
your facility leaves on the earth. Plus, it almost
always saves you money by making your entire
operation more efficient.
Don’t be intimidated by automation, either.
Controlling your systems is probably easier than
you think. Or, if you already have automation
controls that are showing their age, an update can
make a huge difference in how smoothly things
run. It all starts with a simple phone call. If you
are responsible for a production facility (or any
other company that has electronic equipment
that needs to be controlled and monitored), let us
help you. If you’re an electrician who is helping
to put together an automation system, give us
a ring. Either way, we’ll be there every step of
the way, offering experienced advice and expert
guidance, followed by unmatched workmanship
and support.
After all, Helmer Dairy shows that sometimes the
dirty jobs can be more important than you think.
