Service and Support
If something is not working, don’t suffer! Call us. Many of our customers don’t realize that we do more than projects. We are able to do troubleshooting, maintenance, and offer ongoing support. Recently, a customer called regarding network issues. Their company had been purchased, providing new IT support. That support upgraded the computers and suddenly nothing worked right. Having trusted Huffman Engineering for years to support aging systems, they called us. Our engineer, working with their new remote IT department evaluated next steps and is now creating a plan to get them to optimum performance.
We have a customer who needs assistance in implementing automation projects. What works best for them is to have one of our engineers at their location one or two days a week working on a list of items they want accomplished. The customer trusts our engineer, and that relationship has helped us identify ways we can help them meet their upcoming needs for automation and controls. It is low risk for the customer because they can modify the agreement at any time, and they can budget for the support. We can provide expertise on PLC’s, HMI’s, and VFD’s from a number of leading manufacturers. Our talented group of engineers and technicians are experienced and well trained. We pride ourselves on being responsive and can quickly troubleshoot your problem and offer a solution.
