Working Together
Our Partnership
East Coast Automation Sales has been partnered with Fortress since 2017.
Favourite Product Range
ECA’s favorite Fortress product ranges are amGardpro (proNet) and tGard. proNet allows customers to elevate their safety solutions onto their network of choice, including CIPSafe, ProfiSAFE, and Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE).
ECA believes tGard is the perfect solution for our OEM customers looking to streamline their push-button & safety interlock needs within a robotic cell or other machinery.
Most interesting Project with Fortress
ECA recently specified amGardpro FSoE with Opex, a Warehouse Automation OEM, for their state of the art Infinity Automated Storage & Retrieval System.
