We always have great interaction with Sterling Systems & Controls. Their people are focused on providing us with the best possible solution. Their support, if we experience any issue, is always focused on getting us up and running as quickly as possible. The knowledge they bring from all the industrial and agricultural applications they have worked on gives them a large experience base on which to draw. Sterling Systems & Controls is the company that does what they say they will do, if not more. We have confidence in them and their products. After many years of working with them, and several of their systems, we know their product works over and over.”

“Our control systems were 30 to 40 years old. We lived day to day waiting for the next failure. In an ever-evolving world of industry oversight, an increasingly competitive environment, and the need to always be as efficient in feed manufacturing as we possibly can, we needed a Feed Mill Controls partner. For years Sterling Systems & Controls has helped us evolve our old and new feed mills to meet these challenges.”

“I have used Sterling Systems & Controls since 1995 when we transitioned from a manual operation. We did a thorough search before we chose Sterling. They were the only supply partner that was willing to understand our needs and find ways to adjust their technology to fit our process.”

“Since the installation and start-up of the Sterling Systems & Controls hand prompt batching stations, our internal and external process audits have become much easier with reduced paperwork and less time spent searching for information. Training our new operators has never been simpler, and our customers also approve of the use of these batching stations.”

“The Sterling Systems & Controls automation system has enhanced accuracy in our ingredient batching, increased overall efficiency, and reduced operator labor. Sterling’s ability and willingness to adjust and adapt the automation and control software to accommodate our process changes as we evolved, and went through various building phases of our process, was a notable and very positive experience.”

“We had a micro ingredient batching system with a single scale that wasn’t very efficient. We put a new custom engineered microsystem in from Sterling Systems & Controls, Inc. that has five (5) scales! This made us more efficient with our batch times. Being able to weigh out five different micro ingredients at the same time vs. just one at a time was a major achievement. Being able to weigh five different micro ingredients at the same time was a definite game-changer for us.”

“We initially purchased one of the semi-automatic hand prompt batching stations to test. We were so satisfied with this first unit that we subsequently purchased four more, all of which have exceeded our expectations. Sterling Systems’ technical support, whenever required for start-up, has always been top-notch.”

“We know that making a change in our process management could be very disruptive and expensive. Sterling Systems & Controls is very knowledgeable and helpful, and after more than 25 years and 10 plus significant new systems or upgrades, we feel the decision we made in 1995 was a good one and allowed us to focus on our customers.”

“The Sterling Systems & Controls equipment and automation system is very user friendly and easily adapted to our processes. Our old system of controls wasn’t user-friendly or reliable, and required full-time manning of the controls. There were constant communication errors and too much downtime with the old system. The Sterling Systems & Controls equipment and automation solved those problems.”

“We used manual batching control with start/stop pushbuttons to turn augers on/off for many years. Now we use a feed mill batching control system from Sterling Systems & Controls. Why? Because of the simplicity of the Sterling software, their ability to custom engineer the batching automation system to fit our objectives and requirements, and the fact that with Sterling Systems there is no annual subscription fee or contract.”
