Industrial Automation Turnkey Solutions

Turnkey automation solutions are complete, ready-to-deploy systems that include all necessary hardware, software, installation, configuration, and training to automate and connect your manufacturing operations. Rather than purchasing separate components and managing multiple vendors, you receive a fully integrated solution from a single provider. Excellerant's turnkey approach includes universal machine connectivity hardware, cloud-based monitoring and analytics software, professional installation by certified technicians, ERP/MES integration, comprehensive operator training, and ongoing technical support—everything needed to transform your shop floor into a connected Industry 4.0 environment.

A full turnkey solution means you receive a complete, end-to-end system delivered as a single integrated package. At Excellerant, our full turnkey solutions encompass initial facility assessment, custom solution design, all required hardware and software, professional installation and network setup, machine connectivity for both modern and legacy equipment, integration with existing business systems, configuration of dashboards and alerts, comprehensive user training, thorough testing and validation, and go-live support. The term 'turnkey' means you simply 'turn the key' and the system is ready to use—no need to hire additional engineers, coordinate multiple vendors, or manage complex integration projects yourself.

Yes, absolutely. Excellerant specializes in universal machine connectivity that works with equipment of any age, brand, or protocol. For legacy machines with serial RS-232 connections, we provide specialized adapters and communication interfaces. For older equipment without digital interfaces, we can add PLCs or IoT sensors to capture machine data. Our 30 years of machine tool networking experience means we've successfully connected virtually every type of manufacturing equipment, from decades-old machines to the latest CNC models, creating a unified monitoring and control environment.

Implementation timelines vary based on facility size and complexity, but most turnkey automation projects are completed in 4-8 weeks from contract signing to go-live. This includes initial assessment (1 week), solution design and procurement (1-2 weeks), hardware installation and connectivity (1-2 weeks), software configuration and testing (1-2 weeks), and training and go-live support (1 week). We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your ongoing production operations, with most installation work performed during off-shifts or weekends when possible.

Our universal connectivity platform monitors virtually any manufacturing equipment including CNC machines (lathes, mills, machining centers), stamping machines and presses, injection molding machines, assembly stations, robotic cells, grinding and EDM equipment, and specialty manufacturing devices. We support all major CNC controls (Fanuc, Haas, Mazak, Okuma, Siemens, Heidenhain) and can connect via standard protocols like MTConnect, OPC UA, Focas, and MNET, as well as serial communications and custom PLC integrations for non-standard equipment.

Yes, seamless ERP and MES integration is a core feature of our turnkey solution. Our platform's Open API enables bi-directional data synchronization with major enterprise systems including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Epicor, JobBOSS, and many others. We automatically push real-time machine data, production counts, downtime events, and quality metrics to your business systems while pulling work orders, part programs, and scheduling information down to the shop floor, eliminating manual data entry and ensuring your enterprise systems always reflect current production reality.

Most manufacturers see ROI within 6-18 months through multiple value streams: 15-30% reduction in machine downtime through faster issue identification and response, 10-20% improvement in OEE through better visibility and decision-making, elimination of manual data collection labor (typically 1-2 hours per shift), 5-15% increase in throughput from optimized scheduling and reduced bottlenecks, and improved ERP accuracy reducing costly errors and rework. Specific ROI depends on your current operations, but our assessment process includes a detailed ROI projection based on your actual production data.

Comprehensive training and ongoing support are included with every turnkey solution. Initial training covers operator-level system use, manager dashboards and reporting, administrative configuration, and troubleshooting basics. We provide documentation including user guides, quick reference cards, and video tutorials. Post-implementation, you receive USA-based technical support via phone and email during business hours, remote system access for troubleshooting, software updates and feature enhancements at no additional cost, and optional on-site support visits for complex issues. Our goal is to ensure your team can fully leverage the system's capabilities and achieve maximum value from your automation investment.
