Our new #InsightsInAutomation offices are now open for business! Specifically, we're looking for customers who'd like to come in for 1 to 4 student in-person #training, or would like to come in for #consulting purposes. In the future we're planning to offer courses with up to 8, 16 or 24 spaces, but we've yet to get all those systems up and running, so our current focus is on smaller 1 to 4 person sessions which can be setup to match our existing online course, or be a custom combination of lessons from any of them. If you have any questions about our in-person services, please don't hesitate to contact me directly on LinkedIn, or at 413-749-4300, or drop me an email using our contact form here: https://lnkd.in/gcaVYAz7 https://lnkd.in/gGYZAkFN

Whether it's Wall Control Storage Systems, or AutomationDirect buttons and lights (versus those found on Amazon,) Plastic Sheets from United States Plastic Corp. or BuyPlastic.com, over the last decade I've explored lots of options looking for alternatives to spending $3,000 on expensive PLC Trainers that are nothing more than a box of buttons and lights. I've also explored options for those looking for a more professional permanent setup, as well as options for those living in apartments who don't have access to a garage with metal and wood working tools. That's why I've even tested out HDPE cutting boards from Walmart, which work great and can actually be tapped to hold din rail and wire duct!
