Wired for Innovation: The elliTek Blog

Motion complexity costs Tennessee OEMs time and margin. In this week’s Freedom from Frustration Friday, we explore how IAI electric actuators help simplify machine builds, reduce pneumatic infrastructure, and shorten commissioning — backed by elliTek’s trained local experts.

The Siemens SIMATIC S7 controller portfolio gives manufacturers, OEMs, and system integrators a scalable, future-ready automation platform designed for performance, reliability, and easier engineering. From the compact S7-1200 G2 to the high-performance S7-1500 and motion-focused T-CPU, the S7 family helps teams improve uptime, streamline diagnostics, and prepare for the demands of modern industrial automation.

Standardization is no longer a “nice to have” in modern automation — it’s the backbone of sustainable engineering. In an industry where machine complexity is rising and skilled labor is becoming harder to find, manufacturers who embrace standardization see measurable gains in speed, scalability, and quality. At elliTek, we see this every day when working with machine builders and OEMs, and Siemens’ standardized engineering ecosystem gives our customers a clear path to faster
