Info

Entertron is an American manufacturer of embedded programmable logic controllers (ePLC) and marketer of a wide range of operator interfaces, touch screens and peripheral devices to provide control solutions to OEMs and System Integrators. We have been providing solutions to OEMs since 1978. Throughout Entertron's 30 years of doing business, we have built a track record of providing an industrial control that lasts. In doing so, we have extended our warranties to 5 years for relay output controllers and 7 years for our solid state Elite-2000. By offering a longer warranty, our customers are able to utilize this to their advantage when it comes to service. For other products that would only have a one year warranty, customers would be responsible for additional service related costs. Entertron picks up the tab for a much longer period of time because of the track record we have established over 30 years and as a way to rewarding our long standing customers. In providing a longer warranty on the controls portion of your application, minimizes any potential expense related to service of your equipment associated with our PLCs. It also implies a quality product that the manufacturer has backed with the longest warranty in the industry. As an OEM are you tired of the recurring cost of software associated with your controller? Entertron has eliminated the upgrade cost, as well as the cost to purchase software. Some of our competitors not only charge you for your initial software purchase, but also charge you for a yearly maintenance fee. They have tied this fee with your support, therefore any time you require support from the manufacturer, and your support contract is not current, you will not receive the support you are in need of. Our software can be downloaded at any time. The password associated with it remains the same, so once you have it, you can unlock it at any time. If you are comfortable giving your program and software to your customer, you need not worry about OEM licenses or purchasing multiple copies. On the flip side of this same coin, Entertron's controllers offer one way download. Therefore, as an OEM, there are no sleepless nights, worrying about anyone trying to steal your intellectual property related to your product, that you have invested countless time and money in developing. You have complete control over your code. At Entertron, we have focused on minimizing the hidden costs associated with doing business. These costs are not only annoying but make you less competitive. Is your vendor on your side or on your competition's side? Entertron is on your side. Another way to reduce cost is by standardizing on one controller platform. Nothing kills the bottom line faster than inefficiency. This inefficiency is the need to support multiple PLCs. In order to support multiple PLCs, you require a programmer (or programmers) that are versed in all these different programming platforms. Even though they may program in the same manner, every manufacturer does their programming differently. Therefore, you are not only on the hook for the cost of the software but also the time your programmer requires to learn and stay current on every manufacturers platform. This is an enormous hidden cost. Imagine, one controller platform and one software package. It is possible and we have customers that are successful in doing so. We eliminate the customer specification merry-go-round by looking different than the traditional PLC. By not looking like a PLC, we don't have to call our product a PLC - a distinct advantage for our customers.
