Daube and Srivastava further elucidate the precision provided by the organization's tools over a broad spectrum of current. "While an ordinary power supply may operate at a range of 10 to 50 amps, it delivers steady and accurate power only at the higher output range. These solutions are unreliable at the extremities of their operational ranges," says Srivastava. However, Process Technology's solution allows clients to operate at any amperage in the range, precisely and reliably. Additionally, the tools offer consistent and seamless connectivity via automated controls and data logging. Through effortless PLC control, operators can focus solely on monitoring systems rather than manually managing parameters such as temperature, voltage, and current. This automation combined with the plug-and-play nature of Process Technology's solutions creates a considerable boost in worker efficiency. To further improve user-experience, data is collected and stored such that devices can be operated multiple times under the same settings via a loop controller. "We are fairly advanced in recipe control when it comes to our power We provide solutions that offer a very high precision of current and voltage as well as seamless connectivity for data collection and control of our power suppliessupplies," adds Srivastava. Process Technology's solutions incorporate real-time data collection, which serves as a perfect record of quality control during every operation.A customer interaction that highlights the quality of Process Technology's solutions is when one of the company's engineers helped the client install a new product. While the engineer was at the client's site, she was shown a competitor's brand new product that the client had received as a demo. The product had several knobs on it to control the power supply. It would also have taken the client a month to set it up with their PLC. In stark contrast, Process Technology could offer devices that not only calibrated parameters with precision, automatically but could also be integrated into existing systems within 15 minutes. "Just being able to plug-and-play and press few buttons on the front of a screen is a huge advantage," states Jody Richards, President of the company. "The high precision of our power supplies, automated controls, data logging, seamless connectivity, and ability to repeat loops have brought about significant quality improvements and have taken out operator error from the equation," she continues.Not only has Process Technology doubled itself in the last five years, but Jody Richards has also been bestowed upon the recognition of 2020 EY Entrepreneur of The Year in the East Central region. As a world leader in providing stellar electric heater solutions, Process Technology now aims to achieve the same proficiency in power supplies. The company has a robust product roadmap where it plans to enter the high-power segment of the industry while also expanding on its current toolsets. "We will continue to invest in increasing user-friendliness and data connectivity because we see much positive feedback from the market; and we will take it to a whole different level of how you can control, connect, and use the data from the power supplies," concludes Jody.
