Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, Varland Plating has been specializing in providing high quality, precision barrel plated finishes to their customers since 1946. For years, Varland manually performed plating operations until they started automating their processes in the early 1990s. After running these automated systems for a few decades, the advanced capabilities of Opto 22's groov products were too enticing to ignore. Upgrading to new groov systems not only reduced their equipment footprint, but it efficiently moved them into the Ethernet era of industrial automation.

In this case study, find out how Varland Plating was able to bring a 30-year-old automation system into the future without downtime or compromising their SCADA goals.
