Turn-Key Solutions from Automation Experts: Heason
Technology and Mecelec Design agree ‘Build Partner’ alliance
for superior automation solutions. New partnership benefits
customers with improved system solutions
Building upon a unique synergy between
Heason Technology and Mecelec
Design, a newly formed Build Partner
alliance promises much closer project
collaboration.
The ultimate aim of the Build Partner
alliance is to benefit the customer by
unifying Heason’s and Mecelec’s various
areas of expertise where both companies
have considerable design, manufacture
and build experience and strong
reputations in their respective market
areas providing superior machine design,
focused system solution engineering with
improved customer support and faster
development/production timescales.
The agreement follows a number of
successful projects where Heason
Technology has supplied Mecelec Design
with motion control components and
high-precision positioning sub-systems
for the Gloucester-UK based designer
and manufacturers’ turn-key engineered
automation solutions.
The new Build Partner alliance expands
upon this success and operates on a
project-by-project basis with either
company acting as a subcontractor or as
a prime supplier depending upon specific
customer needs.
In this way the customer is able to specify
its exact system requirements and
together Heason and Mecelec will provide
a total machine solution with no limitation
or compromise in the scope of design,
manufacture, commissioning and support.
Generally, Mecelec would project manage
large-scale and plant automated solutions
for production and/or test systems with
Heason taking the helm for motion-
centric projects such as single machines.
However, both companies would be
involved throughout, contributing its own
area of expertise for an optimised solution
that both meets and exceeds the technical
and cost requirements for the customer.
This new initiative will enable Heason an
enhanced supplier partnership role by
directly supporting Mecelec’s customers
throughout the design and manufacturing
process for full-scale automation projects
whilst Mecelec would then fulfil a
similarly close support relationship with
the customer where Heason heads the
project. In both cases, customer support
will continue into the commissioning and
life-support phase.
Mecelec director Neil Pearce is looking
forward to many more collaborative
projects that the Build Partner alliance
will yield, “Whilst the collaboration is
fairly new, we are already progressing
on a number of important projects and
the benefits for mutual support are
increasingly apparent – our design and
production times are faster and we look
forward to more projects in the future.”
Jon Howard, Heason Technology’s
managing director states his enthusiasm
for the programme, “The potential benefits
to our customers is full turn-key project
solutions whilst Mecelec are provided
access to a superior range of servo-based
automation products with comprehensive
technical and application support from
Heason.”
