About Nematron

Nematron has been pioneering innovative computer and visualization solutions for the manufacturing and process industries for nearly 30 years. During that time we developed the first human machine interface (HMI) and Industrial PC. We patented Visual Flowchart Language (VFL™ ), an advanced programming environment that provides an easy-to-use alternative to traditional ladder logic programming.

Today, Nematron has hundreds of thousands of systems installed worldwide and continues to develop innovative new solutions. Our customers benefit from reduced life-cycle costs, improved machine or process flexibility, and improved integration of manufacturing-generated information into enterprise level systems.

In addition to the sales of Industrial PCs, HMIs, I/O, embedded Controllers and Automation Software we can provide custom design, application, and integration services. We also provide service and repair capabilities for many of our legacy systems.

Nematron operates from our North American headquarters in Ann Arbor, Michigan and from our European office in Hampshire, England. Contact us to learn about the many products and solutions we can provide you.

About Optimation

Optimation was founded in 1991 to develop solutions for the industrial controls industry. Since the beginning they have strived to be the price/performance leader. Optimation was acquired by Nematron Corporation in 2001, but has been operating as a separate entity since then. Until now Optimation has been operating in Huntsville, Alabama.

In July, 2008, Nematron Corporation announced that Optimation, in Huntsville, Alabama, had been combined with their operations in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The transition, which began in May, was completed with uninterrupted shipment of products and service.

Optimation, a fully owned subsidiary of Nematron had been operating as separate entity since being acquired in 2001. The relocation of Optimation to Ann Arbor will result in improvements in operational efficiency, allowing for greater investment in product development, marketing, and customer service. All operations in Huntsville, Alabama are closed now that the transition is complete.
