Node Link Automation was founded with the goal of connecting different nodes to create the most efficient automation architecture.
The Founder’s career began in the pharmaceutical machinery industry, as an equipment builder as electrical and controls engineer where he programmed on various control platforms. Later, as an automation consultant for a Rockwell Distributor managing a $5 million account portfolio, working with a wide range of customers and industries to select the most suitable PLC/HMI/Software and control architecture for their needs.
In recent roles as a Sustaining and Manufacturing Staff Controls Engineer at Tesla and an Automation and Controls Engineer at Covariant AI, he observed a significant disconnect between equipment builders and end users. Equipment builders are often focused on delivering equipment with the highest margins based on the parameters defined by the end user. However, end users face the challenge of integrating this equipment into their overall process and effectively monitoring performance (e.g., SCADA/OEE) to ensure throughput and address errors during production.
Few companies have established the standards to communicate effectively with equipment builders, and few equipment builders fully understand or have the capabilities to expose to the end user the overall metrics needed for efficient production.
This is the gap that Node Link Automation aims to bridge by providing automation systems utilizing enhanced controls architectures and programming that suits KPIs of both end users and equipment builders .
The solution begins at the equipment level, ensuring accurate monitoring at the enterprise level. Node Link is here to work with startups, equipment builders, and end users, providing automation solutions that are designed from the ground up to be flexible and easily integrated into a cohesive system.
