Mott Equity Exchange Q&A

Tom Irwin, Agronomy Manager at Mott Equity Exchange

Q: Why did you choose Easy Automation as your automation partner?

"We chose Easy Automation for several reasons.  First and foremost, we were looking for a system capable of accurately and efficiently meeting our blending needs.  Ease of use was a close second.  As we toured other facilities, it was abundantly clear to our team Easy Automation was the right choice for us.  The layout is very intuitive, and the tablet has proven to be very helpful.” 

Q: What was your experience working with the Easy Automation staff before and during installation?

"We have had a great experience working with Easy Automation.  Their team provided a clear picture of what we were buying, and their support team has been outstanding from installation through start-up and operation.  The Easy Automation staff has been very attentive to details, and have been very willing to take as much time as necessary to ensure we were comfortable using the system.  Brandon and Alexis, in particular, have been phenomenal resources to us. ” 

Q: Has the automation impacted your facility’s efficiency? If so, how?

“We upgraded from a 420 ton building, with a 12 ton vertical blender- so this entire project has been a monumental improvement for us.  Our new facility is loading out fertilizer 5-6 times faster, with 50% less manpower.  Our customers were used to waiting in line for fertilizer- and now they pull up, load, and go.  Our ability to meet our customer’s needs has increased exponentially.” 

Q: Have you called into service and support? If so, what has been your experience?

“During start-up/commissioning, Easy Automation’s staff was very involved and helpful.  They were readily available, eager to assist, and did a great job of helping us hit the ground running.  Their support team has also proactively reached out to us with optimization opportunities.  Any suggestions we have offered for new options have all been well received.” 

Q: Would you recommend Easy Automation as an automation partner? Why or why not. 

“I would strongly recommend Easy Automation as an automation partner.  Their name says it all!  They offer a great product, and their service after the sale is even better.  We are very satisfied with Easy Automation."
