ACT                        CONSULTING and ENGINEERING

increasing plant profitability in shortest time

 

ACT’s services are based on outstanding technical, economical and management know-how and experience. This allows us to locate production improvement or cost saving opportunities beyond expectations and to exploit them in a more cost and time effective way than others.

Work includes incentive & feasibility studies, master plans, help in DCS selection and migration, improvement & trouble-shooting of existing controls and development of high-payout, often innovative control applications - and is always done together with the customer. Focus is on simple, often not widely known approaches and technologies which results in the best benefit-to-cost ratio for the customer and also immediate operator acceptance.

Special is also that consulting is exclusively done by Hans Heinz Eder, the founder and manager of ACT, and customers can be sure to get always the full experience and expertise of over 30 years at the forefront of technology.
