Customer Profile of the Month - ISA Corp.

Teleflex Incorporated

Read the entire story here!

Based out of Salem, OR, ISA Corporation is a premier provider of latex products - from medical examination gloves to specialty latex products for the nuclear industry. In fact they have become the sole source for molded latex products used by the defense department for naval nuclear power systems.

As with most traditional companies, ISA corportation used PLCs and ladder logic to control thier systems. However, when a new latex shoe cover program came along, Jason Feusner, plant manager, decided that something needed to be implemented that would be easy to change and still be able to tie into the company's SQL databases. Ultimately, ISA Corportation chose Entivity Studio to provide the flexablilty and I/O connectivity they were looking for. Read about how Entivity Studio changed their process and saved money!

"Entivity Studio was faster to program and provided more connectivity than our previous PLC solutions."

- Jason Feusner, Plant Manager
