Choosing The Automation Technology For You
Finding the system that will work best for you
There are many incredible automation technology options on the market now, with more emerging and the existing always improving. So, it can be a bit of a challenge to know which one is right for you and your building. The ‘right’ choice for you takes into consideration budget, if it’s an existing or new build, and what you hope to include. Different softwares will have different capabilities, programming time and costs. At Ryelec, we typically stick to 4 systems that we have extensive experience in. These 4 systems cover all bases so we are able to offer integration of almost anything our clients desire. We know these systems to be reliable, incredible and all-encompassing.
