SIAM has been developing projects in Ford factories since 2001. In the beginning, our proximity to the Almussafes plant in Valencia (Spain), allowed us to gain experience in programming the DCP standard. We are currently one of the most experienced companies regarding this standard, collaborating continuously with Ford Europe for its continuous improvement. During all these years we have carried out turnkey projects of complete lines in the most important factories of Ford Europe.

Although we have specialized in the automotive world, we have also carried out projects in other sectors. Not only by programming commercial PLCs, but also by applying our own manufacturing control systems, based on R&D development during our beginnings. We have also made high-level applications for industrial production management (database management, scadas) through application development with C ++ Builder or RAD Studio. We detail the most noteworthy examples.
