Frequently Asked Questions
An automated control system uses industrial control equipment, sensors, and software to monitor and control processes with minimal manual intervention. These systems improve efficiency, consistency, and safety across industrial process automation environments.
Hartman & Hartman provides PLC programming services across all major platforms, including Allen-Bradley and Siemens. Our team develops customized automation solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing industrial controls and equipment.
HMI (Human Machine Interface) systems provide operators with real-time control and visualization at the equipment level, while SCADA systems offer broader monitoring, data collection, and control across entire facilities. Together, HMI and SCADA solutions enable centralized visibility and control.
Factory acceptance testing (FAT) is a pre-installation process where control systems and panels are tested to verify performance and compliance with specifications. Hartman & Hartman performs comprehensive FAT as part of our in-house staging process.
A motor control center (MCC) is a centralized system used to control multiple motors within an industrial facility. It integrates motor starters, control components, and power distribution into a single unit, improving operational efficiency and simplifying maintenance.
