World-Class Measurement and Automation Solutions
ICON Technologies provides innovative solutions in test and measurement, automation, data logging, and process/machine control. Our solutions can be stand-alone, or custom integrated with your existing network, communications, or database infrastructure. We support our solutions with a full range of consulting, training, and maintenance services.
Our Particular Expertise
We have particular expertise in the application of Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs) to demanding problems that may involve complex mixes of I/O, in-line data analysis, distributed local control, or the real-time distribution of process information over networks or the Internet.
Our Core Technology Partner
Our core technology partner, National Instruments, is recognized as one of the world's leading suppliers of PAC hardware and software.
Our Credentials
ICON Technologies has over 18 years experience providing solutions and systems integration services to major engineering and technical companies, tertiary institutions, and scientific organizations. We have been a National Instruments Alliance Partner and sales agent for the entire period, giving us comprehensive knowledge of both current and legacy National Instruments product lines.
Our Application Developers
Our systems engineers and application developers are multi-disciplined, with a mix of measurement expertise, hardware integration skills, and software engineering skills. They have qualifications in core science and engineering disciplines, so they understand the processes of measurement and automation, and what you are trying to do. They also have computer and software engineering skills, and follow industry-standard practices for designing and developing quality application software code.
Certified LabVIEW Developers
As a National Instruments Alliance Partner we support the National Instruments Certification Programme, an independently administered Certification Programme that guarantees expertise with National Instruments hardware and software. Currently, three of our application developers are Certified LabVIEW Developers.
Our Clients
ICON Technologies' client base spans the full range of engineering and technology based enterprises. We have end-user clients in mining, manufacturing, process industries, health and lifestyle services, education, and academic and industrial R&D.
