Every part. Every cycle. Every time.
Serving discrete manufacturers since our inception in 1984 with automation, controls, and data solutions that drive efficiency and quality.
Discrete manufacturers measure success in parts per hour, scrap rates, and on-time delivery. When a machine goes down or quality drifts, the impact hits the bottom line immediately. TEC has served discrete manufacturers since our founding in 1984 — we understand that automation isn't about technology for its own sake. It's about making more good parts, faster, with less waste.
Challenges
Machine Downtime
Unplanned stops that cascade through your schedule and blow delivery commitments.
Quality Drift
Gradual process variation that turns into scrap and rework before anyone catches it.
Operator Dependency
Tribal knowledge that walks out the door with every retirement and every shift change.
Data Silos
Machine data trapped in proprietary systems that don't talk to each other — or to your ERP.
How TEC helps
Machine Integration
PLC programming, HMI development, and motion control for CNC, stamping, assembly, and packaging.
Production Monitoring
Live screens that pull status from every PLC on the floor — operators see their line, supervisors see the plant, and everyone's looking at the same picture in real time instead of chasing spreadsheets and clipboards.
OEE & Downtime Tracking
Every stop logged automatically, reason codes captured at the line by the operator, and rolled up into shift and weekly reports that show exactly where the hours went — and which losses are worth fixing first.
Data Integration
Connecting shop floor data to business systems for real-time visibility into production performance.
Let's build something
that actually works.
Whether you need to modernize legacy controls, build out data infrastructure, or deploy ML models on the factory floor — we're ready when you are.
