A primary driver of the management team and the direction of
the company since its inception, is the belief that concept
of proprietary control technology is fundamentally flawed.
Whether it is the exposure of client to the commercial
vulnerability of a supplier or the cost associated with
inter-connecting multiple systems, proprietary systems have
significant disadvantages.
Prolojik has assessed the various open systems standards
currently available and has chosen two solutions for its
products. At the network level, we utilise EIA709.1 LonWorks
and at the inter-networking level we use TCP/IP. The choice
of these technologies is based on a number of factors
including: robustness, availability, scalability and
interoperability.
We believe that the best differentiator in the market place
is not single-vendor solutions, but competing in a open
market place and succeeding on the basis of best-in-breed,
quality of service and value for money. Prolojik's
commitment extends to all of its processes. Our
manufacturing processes are conformant to BS EN
ISO9001-2000, and we have already made the transition to
lead-free manufacture and are moving our production to RoHS
compliance (Restriction of the use of Hazardous Substances).
Prolojik maintains a policy of designing and manufacturing
all of its key lighting controls components in the UK at its
partner manufacturing facility. We believe that the
availability of dedicated on-shore capability, allows us to
maintain responsiveness, quality control and stability of
supply even when required to achieve the most aggressive
delivery schedules.
