Application Development Service

Entertron Industries offers a reasonably priced program development service for OEMs.

Not only does Entertron developPLC programs for their controllers, but they also create operator interface and touch screen programs, offering a total solution.

How does our program work?

• Customers will submit to Entertron their application information (order of operation / state diagram).

• Upon receipt, Entertron will review all application information and generate a preliminary quote for the number of hours required to develop your program.

• Once the customer has contracted with Entertron to develop your application, we create a state diagram of your application, based on the original information provided.

• The state diagram is then sent to you for review and approval. Upon receiving approval, Entertron proceeds with the development phase of the project.

• Should there be additions to the original application submission, Entertron reserves the right to adjust our preliminary quote accordingly.

• Our hourly rate is $80.00 per hour with a minimum of 10 hours for any project. ($100.00 per hour for expedited / rush requests)

• Unless there are significant modifications to the customer approved state diagram, minor modifications will be included at no additional charge.

• The customer will be responsible for performing all testing. Should there be any bug fixes or modifications, so long as it does not significantly add to the scope of the project, are included in the original quote.

• All quotes do not include on site startup, unless specifically requested.

• All mechanical and electrical development are the responsibility and property of the OEM, unless Entertron is specifically requested to assist, and is stated during the quoting stages of the project.

What are the benefits for you?

• As an OEM in these challenging times where market competition has never been tougher, not to mention global, companies must remain competitive, and therefore lean. Sometimes, your budget will not allow for a dedicated design engineer or programmer. Therefore, outsourcing a portion of your development with a company that will protect your interests, such as Entertron, has benefited many companies.

• In this very competitive environment, you may have fewer people wearing more hats of responsibility. As a result, these key people don't have the time to work on another project exclusively. By partnering with Entertron, you eliminate any learning curve required for programming. You allow your key people to focus on other aspects of product development, while enabling Entertron to focus on what it knows...programming its ePLCs and interface products. Therefore, you will maximize the utilization of your resources by allowing those to specialize on what they know, and therefore reducing waste in the product development stage.

• As a result of contracting with Entertron, the materials we generate for your application (PLC program and interface program) belong to the OEM. All materials will be forwarded to you, while an archived copy will remain at Entertron, should anything happen to your original documentation.

• Entertron will not share or use any proprietary information in conjunction with other projects, therefore maintaining the highest level of security of your intellectual property.

If you are interested, please contact us, so we can begin the process.
