CoreTegral - Ethos
In 2007 the Savantech team identified that within the high-tech manufacturing industry there is a need for an equipment automation/integration product that will be flexible, adaptable, grow with a business and be simple to maintain on an ongoing basis. In order to achieve this, we determined that it was imperative that the platform not be proprietary or require specialist program language skills, but makes use of industry standard development tools.
Incumbent systems in the industry tend to be large and complex, and need either specialist internal resource or external consultants to maintain them. They have typically been written in proprietary technologies both due to inadequacies in the mainstream tools at the time, and also perhaps with the intention of securing long-term revenue from service/maintenance support. Critically, some are now end-of-life due to either the underlying technology being declared obsolete or the automation system becoming unsupported, with the only alternatives being expensive, overly complex and offering no migration path. CoreTegral was planned to be written in an industry standard program language which would allow customer end users to much more easily maintain the system. This unique and innovative approach is at the very heart of our new product.
The team who have developed CoreTegral are deeply steeped in the art of equipment integration and have invested all that they have learnt from their many years' experience in the industry into the product. As developers, we have focused on creating an environment that is tremendously flexible and instantly familiar to anyone versed in developing C# in the Visual Studio environment, whilst ensuring that all of the content and facilities that enable easy development of tool integration solutions in a high-tech manufacturing environment are readily to hand. As a company offering long-term support and maintenance for customers with automation solutions written in legacy systems, we have identified the most troublesome and oft-seen issues and worked hard to create supportive and capable deployment and management tools that trivialise what might otherwise be testing problems.
We believe that this fresh approach of making the maintenance easy for our customers, whilst offering specialist support and services, combined with the security of not relying on non-mainstream technologies, will prove an attractive and winning proposition.
