Our services
Whether you require a small-scale controller, a large-scale Distributed Control System (DCS), or something as simple as a time delay changed within an existing system, we can meet your needs.
If you have an existing industrial control system that you wish to modify, expand, enhance, or future-proof, we have experience with almost all common industrial PLC makes and models. We have also been selected as the preferred System Integrator for ABB in the Greater Wellington region.
AFI has developed strong relationships with a number of industrial companies in and around Wellington. We share office space and have a close working relationship with BTO (Better Technical Options), so a complete in-house package can be provided.
At AFI we recognize that quality, reliability and customer support are of prime concern to our clients. Accordingly, we provide 24/7 callout support in the Greater Wellington region because we understand that industry does not operate on a nine-to-five basis.
What truly makes us stand out from other automation engineers is that we understand that there is so much more to software/application development than to simply deliver a working solution. We will provide you with a professional product that will:
- first and fore-mostly, meet your specifications,
- be easily upgraded and expanded,
- be user-friendly to ensure others can understand and modify it at a later date,
- be as simple a solution to your complex design problem as possible, and
- be supported with comprehensive documentation.
The importance of interface design in an industrial environment may not be immediately obvious, but good user interface design is about clear communication. We want to make your control systems as intuitive and easy to use as possible, reducing the time it takes to learn how to use it and enhancing the safety of your staff. Applying consideration to the usability of our products is an important part of the service we provide.
