A Gateshead based training and automation solutions company has expanded into new markets, taken on new staff and built a new training facility to cope with demand for its specialised work.
Run by father and son team David and Chris Simm, Scantime Automation has its facilities near to the Metro Centre, but its services are used by businesses all over the UK, Europe, and the USA particularly in the troubleshooting and training of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs.)
Virtually everything today is manufactured with the help of a PLC. They are widely used in automobile manufacturing, food and drink processing, airport baggage control, pharmaceuticals, and power generation. In essence, they are industrial computers used in all manufacturing process and Scantime are particularly in demand for their training and ability to troubleshoot and design software when things go wrong on the production line.
