Our controls programming, development and build team provides the expertise necessary to provide the solutions for the most demanding requirements of our customers. This includes the ability for our custom devices and our systems to interface with your existing hardware and software. Data gathering and management reporting may be an option built into any of our controls systems.

When you request a special device or system proposal from IHS, we begin the process by putting together a “skeleton” of what the software and hardware would be. In many cases this requires a draft copy sequence of operations for the controls engineers to use in preparing the estimate. We paper simulate the operation of the device or system to assure we have the controls devices needed for proper operation and to fit the application. Panel sizes, number and function are considered so our proposal is more science than guess. We include this preliminary sequence with every proposal we send out.

When you place your order for the device or system, we then refine the “draft” copy of the sequence into a detailed, device-to-device mode of operation document. This assures we have every movement and operator interface function covered. This document is reviewed with you until we have an agreed upon “sequence of operations” detailing exactly how the device or system will work. This document is our one and only source for the layout, panel build, hardware ordering and software development.
