Simplified Safety: Rethink the Cost of Entry Using Safety PLCs
The bulk of safety projects industrial companies initiate today
involve upgrading safety and control systems in existing
production equipment.   Advanced Engineering develops control
systems using equipment from many equipment providers, including
Siemens and Allen Bradley. Picking the right hardware and

programs. We provide our value added through knowing which
issues are important, using unbiased information about safety
hardware and software, and doing system integration.  Over the

The benefits of a safety PLC-based architecture extend well
beyond simplified wiring and the ability to alter safety to
accommodate changing demands.  Most customers have machines that
are already being used in production and they want to add safety
to them. Typically, they’re adding safe
