South Branch Controls, LLC is a family owned company whose goal is to provide high quality automation to customers who cannot support the overhead of an on-staff automation group.

CostSavings

Rising fuel and personnel costs coupled with decreasing infrastructure costs make automation a cost effective method of reducing production overhead.

PERFORM™ (South Branch Controls' SCADA system) means fewer miles are traveled in vehicles, faster response to changing production needs and more efficient use of production resources (manpower, energy, materials, etc.).

Custom Automation

We work with each customer to provide just the automation that is needed for his application. We can provide automation within a single facility or among widely scattered facilities via the Internet.

South Branch Controls strives to be the one-stop automation source for our customers. We assist in the design, installation and setup. We will provide training for the employees of the customer when needed. The equipment can then be monitored and controlled from any computer (or PDA) with Internet access and a normal browser.

When Internet service is down, the automated equipment continues to operate, saving the operational data until Internet service is restored. Onsite controls are also provided for manual and emergency operation.

The PERFORM™ System offers:
