T.A.I.I.
The purpose of this group is to promote the interests of independent automation professionals and small automation-related companies in Tennessee.
T.I.A.A is composed of small businesses and independent contractors in the automation and machinery business located in Tennessee. It’s purpose is to promote networking and referrals within the local automation community. If you are interested in joining this group leave a comment below; I will post a link to your website and information on your company or yourself. Please leave contact information and a description of your company and services.
Why join this group?
People call me often needing help with projects; small machines, controls integration and service. As a small company with only one technical person (myself) I often get involved with a project for months at a time and can’t respond to these inquiries. When this happens I usually try and refer the lead to someone I know and trust.
I am also migrating my company from the contracting, programming and machine building fields into consulting and project management. I no longer have a machine shop and other engineering staff to rely on. When I need to implement a project I look for programming and design help as well as companies and individuals to build things for me. I am hoping to use this group as a resource in my future endeavours. I also get calls from industrial vendors with potential projects that I would like to be able to provide a solution for. As I talk to other contractors and integrators in the Tennessee area I hear the same story.
I would like to target this group toward individual contractors and companies with ten or fewer employees. The larger automation companies in this area don’t really need an organization like this but I feel that this association will fill a void in the Tennessee automation and integration community.
