Automated machinery never ceases to amaze and captivate me. Since I started with machine control systems in the 70's the clickety-clack of a sequenced machine has been music to my ears... a heartbeat that can't be missed. Even through the transition of relays and drum controllers to PLCs and HMIs the unmistakable rhythm of sequenced machinery is the driving force that manufactures our daily needs.

Since 1991 we have been STEM Applications. And we still are but we realized that our name didn't describe to our customers what we did and that the acronym STEM, since 2001, has become increasingly used in the education field. So we took on the trade name FactoryAutomationPros, got the domain name to match in a .com and .ca version and are slowly rolling our new face out this year.
