Have you ever wondered how to reduce your production costs? In 1992, Normand Ballard, a specialist in industrial automation and robotics was asked that question. After a year of thought and with the combined efforts of Sylvain Ballard, a programmer-analyst, a solution came to light: AutoFAB software.

The two brothers took advantage of their respective qualifications and years of experience in industry to offer to businesses software solutions that would improve productivity, reduce shipping delays, respond rapidly to demand, and ultimately, offer products of superior quality.

In order to market AutoFAB, Normand Ballard founded N.B. Automation inc. (NBA) in Granby in June 1993. More than just a software distributor, NBA wanted to offer their clients consultation services to fully evaluate their needs, as well as training courses to enable them to use the software for the maximum benefit. NBA therefore proposed turnkey solutions: from consulting, while passing by developing automation software to user training. The Bromont company was involved in every step of implementing computer-based solutions.

From a small family business, the company rapidly became a leader in the industry. Management and staff concentrate all their efforts toward a single goal: to meet the requirements of a divers clientele by supplying custom software to facilitate the crucial and often costly stages of production.

Moreover, it is with the same care for excellence that, only a few years after it was founded, NBA innovated once again with the ChronoTEX and ChronoMEDIC systems. ChronoTEX is the system intended for management of specialized linen used in the operating room. As for the ChronoMEDIC system, it allows the management of the production, the inventory, the tracking and quality control of instruments used in the operating room. It also allows for the management of sterilizers and the rental of. User-friendly, multilingual and developed according to the clients' needs, ChronoTEX and ChronoMEDIC give its users a host of possibilities while facilitating their work.

In summary, AutoFAB responds to one preoccupation of manufacturers: to reduce the inherent costs in every stage of production, while the ChronoTEX and ChronoMEDIC systems ensure tracking, quality control and management of the inventory.

In order to meet your needs fully, NBA offers you turnkey services that include consultation, installation and training.
