25 Years of Providing the Ultimate Customer Experience
ONExia is a proven expert at providing motion control and positioning products for machine automation applications. That same expertise can be applied to designing, engineering, constructing, and programming complete machine controls or turn-key machines!
Solutions & Capabilities
For both in-house and production based machine building, we are your resource. If your machine production rate increases, you can utilize our trained technicians and engineers to give you that extra throughput. There is no need for you to increase overhead and train new staff to provide the growth.
Complete Turn-key Solutions
From concept to start up, we can take a custom requirement and give you a solution based on our extensive experience and expertise. We work with our customers to leverage their product and process knowledge with ours to create continued success. We have provided custom machines with just the capabilities our customers need, eliminating the cost of more expensive machines that have options they didn't need.
PC-based Control Solutions
Integrating motion control, process control, vision and data acquisition, and having Enterprise access is important for anyone who wants to compete. We offer the technology to give you top-level access to shop floor - using Ethernet, database and web server access!
Inspection Automation Capabilities
Utilizing the latest technology in smart vision sensors and complete vision inspection, we have assisted customers perform measurement, vision guided motion and on-line inspection.
Quality of Work
ONExia's Quality of Work is certified every time a customer brings us back in for a new or
duplicate application. Most of that repeat business is because we take great pride in the way our
machines look, feel and operate. This is important both when they leave our facility and through
long term use at our customer's site. The following will give you a better idea on how we shine.
Control Enclosure
Key Control Panel Features:
- Crimp on Ferrules for Long-Term Machine Durability, especially in vibrating automated machinery. This reduces nuisance shorts or stray wire from shutting down a machine or causing problems.
- Shrink Tube Wire Numbers are applied to all wires to avoid the traditional missing wire numbers that leads to longer troubleshooting time. Numbers are always in place and legible.
- Separate Power Supplies are used for Logic (I/O) and Control.
- Circuit Breakers are used instead of fuses for ease of re-setting.
The Ultimate Customer Experience
What distinguishes us from other system integrators is our superior service. Our degreed engineers know automation and motion control. Every day we assist companies like yours in developing a concept, writing specifications and implementing new technologies. Developed and perfected over the years, our strategical project process carefully outlines each task, not only saving time and money but keeping our clients involved and well informed.
Project Process
During the Initial Phase, we work closely with the customer to make sure that our proposal and concept meets the requirements of the project. After this we will have our Kick Off Meeting, where we will review the proposal and concept, inspect the site of the machine's final location and present a formal project schedule.
We will also develop the Initial Acceptance Criteria, identify areas of technical concern and risk, and obtain samples for prototyping. During design and assembly we keep our customers involved and updated on the progress.
Upon completion, we review the machine's operation and sequencing with the customer's operators and maintenance staff, and allow the operators to run the Machine Acceptance. ONExia associates will verify machine placement and hookups, and spend time on-site training operators and working with IT personnel.
Count on ONExia for Proven Results!
We have dramatically reduced many of our customer's overhead costs. Instead of your staff placing orders for all of the different components, bringing them in to inventory, pulling numerous boxes off the shelf, assembling them and putting them into a machine, they order one part number which shows up when you need it, ready to install.
Quick return on investment
We assisted a customer who needed to increase machine throughput for manufacturing products from 50 parts per minute to 220!
Faster time to market for OEMs
Our design group has designed, manufactured and programmed prototypes for OEMs. We provided the assembly prints and source code s that the customer could begin full-scale production. This allowed our customers to dedicate their in-house resources to improving their processes, reducing the new product development by at least 12 months!
Process improvements
A $60,000 investment with us to replace old controls on a process has shown a 30% increase in productivity, and eliminated the need to replace a $ 250,000 machine.
Custom and off the shelf machinery upgrades
There is now no need to replace old equipment because of today's flexible manufacturing requirements. We have upgraded many machines to accommodate the new changes in throughput requirements, faster product changeover with drastically reduced capital investment!
Control Software Methodology
Control software, as the name implies, requires that you maintain control of a machine at all times through a very limited set of options. At ONExia we write software using a "state-model" software concept. All asynchronous procedures are broken into separate "tasks," and a set of possible "states" is written for each task or procedure. Each step in the state model represents an action, or detection of an action that the equipment must pass through to complete a cycle.
The state-model only allows for two possible results from the action: completion or error. All errors are trapped in this model and will have a new state in the model to recover from each different type of error. If possible, the states for recovering from an error will return back to the original state, and continue to complete the machine cycle. To implement the state-model of the machine, we must know all allowable options for each step, and how we are expected to recover from each in the event of an error. These detailed control steps and error recovery sequences must be specified by the customer.
After the model is written and deemed complete, the ONExia software engineer tests each and every step and all error modes for proper function. If a programming error is found during testing, the state model ensures that only one step in the program has an error. Repairs to the software do not affect code that is not a potential next step in the state-model. This allows easy repair and addition to the code without fear of affecting any other part of the code's operation. It is possible that there may be multiple state-models in a machine operation. As mentioned above, one will be created for each asynchronous task. If they need to synchronize at a given point the two state-models will simply wait on the other's task state. After they synchronize, the two tasks will work together until they are no longer dependent on one another and they again become independent.
