Control & Automation Systems

As the technologies of communications systems becomes more advanced and complex, the ability of normal people to operate these systems becomes increasingly more difficult to master. System control and automation simplifies and adds elegance to the users’ experience, all while maintaining maximum system performance and consistency. Control systems, when layered properly over more complex equipment eliminates unneeded and confusing buttons, knobs and settings while bringing to life just what the user needs, when one needs it. Human interaction points, such as touch screens or dedicated control surfaces make system functions easy to recognize and operate either locally or remotely.

System automation takes multiple routine activities that previously would require multiple user actions to accomplish and condenses them down to simple or even singular actions. A single activity selection on a control system can automate numerous functions making the users setup simply one of choosing the desired activity. These choices can typically be accessed through a wide variety of mediums and platforms, including button pads, touchscreens, smartphones, Pad devices or web browsers. DCI knows what to automate in a system - and what should not be automated - based on years of experience in understanding the nuances of making systems easy to operate by regular people.
