PRODUCTION SUPPORT • CONTROLS • INTEGRATION
From international factory acceptance testing and robotic integration across Europe and Japan to production improvement throughout North America, GIA delivers practical automation expertise backed by hundreds of documented projects.
GIA combines decades of hands-on manufacturing experience with advanced controls engineering. We support existing production, improve underperforming lines, integrate new equipment, and develop complete PLC and HMI solutions from concept through commissioning.
The goal is simple: understand the real production problem, solve the root cause, and leave the operation more reliable, maintainable, and productive than we found it.
Not generic programming hours—focused engineering support that improves how the entire system performs.
On-site troubleshooting and performance optimization for plants that need practical answers fast.
Complete integration support for new equipment, upgrades, and production system expansion.
Independent technical support from factory testing through live production handover.
Scott Lyda began working in manufacturing in 1996, building broad experience across injection molding, high-speed bottling, packaging, robotics, process systems, visualization, and complete production-line integration.
Controls decisions are made with throughput, reliability, operators, maintenance, and long-term serviceability in mind.
Experience spans concept, programming, installation, FAT, commissioning, startup, optimization, and ongoing support.
Factory acceptance testing and integration experience across Europe, FANUC robotics work in Japan, and plant support across North America.
Hundreds of field reports, commissioning records, project photos, and test results support the depth of experience behind GIA.
Operators and maintenance personnel live with the equipment every day. They know the recurring failures, workarounds, and patterns that may not be obvious from a PLC screen.
GIA works directly with the people closest to the process, observes the line in operation, and separates symptoms from root causes before making changes. That collaboration creates solutions that work in the real production environment—not just on paper.
The PLC is a tool. The real job is understanding why production is struggling and making the complete system perform better.
