Integration Services

Our sales consultants and our technicians work closely together to analyze needs and recommend the most efficient and cost-effective solutions.

Our teams have developed a strong know-how in various sectors, which allows them to advise clients whether it is for designing a new production line or modifying an existing one.

Our main goal is always to assist and support our customers to contribute to their performance and desire for growth.

• Diagnosis and audit: current needs and future strategic objectives assessment, collection and analysis of all relevant and necessary information to understand the project, possible on-site visit in case of a complex project
• Definition of needs and solution selection: selection of innovative technologies manufactured by Storcan or by our preferred supplier network
• Design of a layout drawing (CAD): 2D layout drawing of the production line including all chosen technologies
• Presentation of a solution: detailed description of each specific equipment as well as related services, work planning, and presentation of the required investment
• Return on investment (ROI) analysis: assessment of the investment payback period or its rate of return
• Customer support: regular follow-up on customer needs and new product or service recommendation if relevant

Our engineering team brings production line concepts to life and ensures their quality and aesthetics as well as equipment ergonomics, all that on schedule and on budget.

The team works closely with manufacturing and project management to deliver effective, cost-effective solutions.

• On-site analysis and measurements: thorough inspection of prevailing conditions and site specificities
• Design and mechanical modeling: creation of detailed diagrams, selection of appropriate materials, and validation of technical feasibility
• 2D and 3D layout plans: precise positioning of mechanical elements taking into consideration accessibility, operational efficiency, and safety
• Simulation, validation, and testing: assessment of the solution's behavior under various conditions and practical tests to confirm system viability
• Research and development: optimization of concepts and exploration of new technologies to anticipate market developments and offer innovative, performance-enhancing solutions

Storcan has its own manufacturing plant in Châteauguay, Canada (province of Quebec). Thanks to our recognized know-how and with over 45 years of experience in the field, we can create custom and innovative solutions that meet the specific requirements of each project we are involved in.

From manufacturing a single conveyor piece to a whole complex line, our multidisciplinary teams provide high-quality equipment meeting the highest industry standards. Our areas of expertise are many and varied.

• Conveyor systems and machines
• General and specialized welding
• Machining and cutting
• Assembly
• Factory acceptance testing (FAT)

Our project management department takes care of everything as soon as a solution has been selected.

Our customers have privileged access to a dedicated contact throughout their project, from technical conceptualization to the commissioning of the new automated line.

• Planning and change management: schedule establishment to ensure smooth integration, coordination of teams involved, and management of unforeseen events by proposing effective solutions that remain respectful to initial projects
• Budget control: judicious allocation of financial resources, ongoing monitoring, and proactive adaptation to ensure costs remain aligned with predetermined objectives
• Installation and production start-up: technical team coordination (mechanical and automation) to install and integrate new equipment according to layout plan, start-up management, and mechanical or electrical adjustments on site if required
• Training: smooth transition ensured by providing staff members with the skills and manuals needed to operate the new production lines

Our control and programming team evaluates current processes and offers advice on digital transformation and automation technologies integration into operations.

We help our customers in their transition towards industrial revolution (Industry 4.0).

• Analysis and proposals: search for technologies that meet project and client environment requirements, cost studies
• Design and manufacturing: electrical schematics, wiring, and control panels
• Programming: definition of the behavior of programmable logic controllers (PLC) and human-machine interfaces (HMI) [supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), decentralized computing, etc.]
• Installation and start-up: physical implementation of components and controllers on site and commissioning of the automated system to validate proper functioning and make adjustments if necessary
• Training on system operation and maintenance provided to internal resources for optimized system use and reduced risk of failure

We help and support our customers’ teams in their daily operational challenges, so that their systems are efficient and profitable in the long run.

• Recommendation and sale of spare parts: recommendation of specific parts lists for critical repairs and inventory optimization
• Management of deficiencies and failures: remote or on-site identification of technical problems by conducting in-depth analyses to determine failure origin and provide advice to achieve maximum efficiency and reduce losses
• Qualified technicians: dispatch on site of technicians who are qualified in various areas such as mechanics, electricity, and automation, and who can effectively solve problems and ensure proper equipment functioning
• Emergency and preventive maintenance: implementation of measures to anticipate potential failures through regular preventive maintenances and rapid response to emergencies, thus minimizing downtime and preserving equipment reliability
