We Are Cornerstone

President's Letter

As a former plant engineer, I understand the everyday challenges our clients face running a manufacturing facility. This foundational knowledge has been instilled in our team at Cornerstone Automation. We see ourselves as an extension of your engineering and maintenance department. We are customer-focused and look at solutions holistically to customize a plan that will best serve your company’s interests now and in the future. We work alongside our clients as partners to maximize process optimization and minimize downtime. Our team has strong troubleshooting skills, and when it comes to getting the job done, we aren’t afraid to get our hands dirty. Where some companies will only work on controls, our guys are scrappy and will work tirelessly to figure out the root of the problem. We thrive on solving complex issues, and if your production goes down, we are committed to doing whatever needs to be done to get you back up and running.

Testimonials

Allen Burns, President

Richard S. Burns & Company Inc.

“Cornerstone goes above and beyond the call of duty. We had some failures during our project and they recommended other equipment for us and even told us where we could buy it. If something bad happens, we call them first and they usually figure it out right away. They’re a very resourceful group of people, and they’re very knowledgeable. They bring a lot to the table and the word “resourceful” just continually comes to my mind. Anytime we reach out to them they have an answer whether it’s something to do with our system or how to run better equipment.”

Plant Engineer

Food & Beverage Industry

"Cornerstone Automation has been a partner with us for 20+ years. They have been steadfast in their commitment to keeping our control systems up-to-date, as well as providing consistent and reliable maintenance service. The Cornerstone Automation team has made themselves available for emergency services both day and night, and come to our aid regardless of whether or not it was within the scope of their expected duties. I would definitely recommend Cornerstone Automation. They have exceeded our expectations on numerous occasions and their work has always been accurate and cost-effective."

Dave Curry, IT Specialist

Richard S. Burns & Company Inc.

"The system that we built is mission-critical. It has to run every day or it backs up really fast. Cornerstone has been very responsive every time we’ve needed them. We would ask them, “What can we do better?” Their team came up with excellent solutions to improve our existing processes. The software that they wrote for the panel is spot on. We don’t have any bugs and it is very, very reliable. I can’t say enough about them. I definitely would work with them again."

Sean Small, Maintenance Manager

"Cornerstone Automation really cares about us and our equipment. They have the capabilities and the technical know-how of a large company with the care and response of a small company. They go the extra mile to understand where we struggle and they look for ways to help us better utilize our machines. I can’t say enough good things about Cornerstone Automation’s ownership and integrity. I can honestly trust them because they are always looking out for us. They are the first people that come to mind for any automation or controls issues, and I consider them an extension of my team."

Rob Rudloff, IT Specialist

Richard S. Burns & Company Inc.

“As our line’s complexity grew, we realized we needed better and more accurate controls, which led us to find an integrator. The Cornerstone team didn’t seem to be bothered by the size of the project and they had great suggestions. Their team is very knowledgeable and has impressive experience. We made a lot of changes based on what Cornerstone suggested moving forward. They had a lot of experience on the automation side, and brought many resources to the table.”

If there is an emergency, or when JBS needs something done yesterday, Cornerstone is there immediately, and they get it done quickly. They have even come out in the middle of the night to assist. I love working with Cornerstone because they’re reliable, they respond quickly, and they are easy to work with. If text them personally, they respond back swiftly with solutions. They regularly send me the newest technology for consideration, and to keep me aware of what is possible for us. I like being up to date on technology. They’re very knowledgeable, they’re very flexible, and their work is top of the line.”
