In the competitive world of industrial automation, companies face a common dilemma: balancing the needs of automation projects with the relentless rise of hidden costs. From licensing fees and mandatory updates to endless add-ons, the financial strain can break your profit margin.
Unitronics, an automation provider with a 35-year track record of excellence, offers a simple approach: deliver a full suite of industrial automation products with transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and functionality that works out of the box.
One-Stop Shop for Automation - Components, Software, Support
While many automation providers offer piecemeal solutions, Unitronics consolidates everything an engineer, machine builder, or plant operator might need into a single ecosystem. From PLCs and HMIs to I/Os, VFDs, AC servo drives, and an end-to-end IIoT platform called UniCloud, all of the company's products work together seamlessly.
In addition, all components and communications are configured in Unitronics’ software, the same all-in-one software used for PLC programming, motion control, and HMI application design.
