Cypress Systems is a subsidiary of Cypress Semiconductor, a leading Silicon Valley based technology company with over $1.5 billion in annual sales (NYSE: CY, http://www.cypress.com).
Cypress Systems’ specialty is using advanced sensing, wireless and applications know-how to improve older plants and buildings. Operators of these sites work daily with legacy technologies such as manual gauges and indicators, pneumatic actuators and control systems, and standalone analog transducers or meters.
THE CHALLENGE
Compared to new state-of-the art facilities, these older sites typically consume more energy and water, require more maintenance labor, incur higher unplanned downtime, and deliver lower yield and productivity. In today’s competitive business environment, these factors put older facilities at a serious disadvantage.
Although many plant and building operators would like to use up-to-date automation technology, the cost of running new wires, disrupting existing users or production, and triggering potential safety code upgrades makes it unfeasible. As an operator of existing manufacturing plants and buildings in over a dozen sites worldwide, Cypress understands these challenges first hand.
ENTER CYPRESS SYSTEMS
Our mission at Cypress Systems is simple: enable older sites to adopt the latest automation technology with the minimum of cost and disruption to existing equipment, processes and staff. An example is our Wireless Gauge Reader product, which “clips-on” to existing manual gauges and enables remote wireless reading, trending, and notification in minutes...without the need to run wires, break pressure seals, revalidate processes, upgrade IT systems or interrupt production.
We accomplish this by combining the latest technology know-how from Cypress Semiconductor with our team’s extensive industry and automation experience. It is this combination of engineers with years of technology experience, and industry veterans with years of domain experience, which has enabled us to develop innovative products and solutions which solve real-world challenges. We also actively partner with our customers to uncover new high value applications which helps improve their daily operations, and we are members of SEMI, the Fab Owners Association, as well as the International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineering.
Our philosophy is to support our customers every step of the way — from installation to commissioning to maintenance. Our job is not done until we deliver tangible savings and improvements to our customers with attractive payback periods, often less than one year.
