System Audits & Troubleshooting:
It is common for FTS to recommend a System Audit of your existing Finishing Operation. This involves an examination of your control systems, unit operations and equipment components, work flow process, methodologies, how operators monitor and control the process and the overall product work flow. The more FTS can examine your existing process, the better able we are to recommend options for achieving your goals.
Retrofitting:
If you have existing finishing systems and are in need of upgrades, modifications or modernization, FTS can make your process look and operate like a new finishing system.
Finishing System Automation:
FTS specializes in systems automation providing advanced custom designed technical solutions for your automation needs. FTS has the expertise to link all your finishing system components including upstream or downstream operations to make them work as an integrated process.
We provide any brand or model of control system, matching your existing plant equipment specifications for product commonality and communication interface compatibility.
We offer a range of simple machine controls to highly sophisticated controls with graphical interface, and man/machine modules for intuitive, simple to operate controls for any of our systems.
We offer PC-based interface for data logging, coating parameter and recipe storage, personnel activity logging, SPC controls and more. Our control systems allow you to maximize the data that can be extracted from your finishing system to allow you to track paint and solvent usage, parts coated, cure data, and other system parameters such as environmental data. We provide multi level access using password protection, allowing operators the flexibility to make temporary operational parameter changes, logging those changes for future management to consider making the adjustments permanent based on the results of operator adjustments.
We offer remote system monitoring and communication with your control system so we can help you make changes and/or troubleshoot your system from any off-site location, saving you precious time when you need control system service.
Training:
FTS offers a variety of training services. Training comes standard when you use FTS to engineer, build and integrate your finishing system, but will also offer training packages to help your operators and area managers operate your existing finishing system more efficiently.
Coatings Development Coordination:
UV/EB coatings technology requires the marriage of the coating with the process. FTS supports and coordinates the development of custom UV/EB coatings for you. FTS has the technical expertise to have the coatings you need developed, tested and demonstrated to meet your specifications.
