What’s more, since Sterling Systems & Controls, Inc. follows a strict internal design and review policy (Working With Us) as well as utilizes and maintains a high-quality library of tried-and-field-tested “building blocks” of code, you can rest assured that even if your main point-of-contact engineer is not available, any one of our trained engineering staff will still be able to help at any time you need assistance. Software that is flexible, easy to use, top quality, and well supported…..that really is a perfect fit to meet your objectives.
Our experience includes process control and data handling, proportional feeding, batching, blending/mixing, bulk weighing, bagging and liquid control.
