Shawn Tierney (Host): Welcome back to the Automation Podcast. My name is Shawn Tierney from Insights and Automation. And in this episode, I sit down with Ryland Pychak from Cleveland Automation Systems, a system integrator house, to talk about all things industrial automation, including how do we get more people involved in controls engineering as well as, like, what are the latest products and technologies people are using. So with that said, let's go ahead and jump right into my interview with Ryland Piechak from Cleveland Automation Systems. Ryland, it's great to have you on the show.

Now before we jump into our conversation, can you start by telling us a little bit about yourself?

Rylan Pyciak: Yeah. Certainly. Well well, first and foremost, thanks for having me as well, Shawn. Definitely appreciate the opportunity. Yeah.

To give a little bit of background, I'm Radom Pyshak, founder, president of, Clearwater Automation Systems, as well as a controls engineer. You know, we've we've essentially been in business for ten years now. And, ultimately, you know, my background has been controls engineering through and through. Actually started the manufacturing floor myself. You know, a lot of maintenance technician role, a lot of day to day kind of supporting troubleshooting equipment and whatnot.

From there, obviously, went off to college, got a controls engineering background, did a little stint at Rockwell, also worked at an OEM as well as a system integrator. And then from there, kind of saw the entire picture of manufacturing and decided to go out and start cleaning automation systems myself. You know, so since then, like I said, we've been in business going on ten years so far. And, yeah, it's been been great. You know, there's a lot of unique things we've come across in the manufacturing industry, and, I'm definitely very passionate.

And it's, something that's very interesting from my perspective.

Shawn Tierney (Host): Well, I appreciate you coming on the show. And, really, that's our audience, the controls engineers, the, really, the automation electricians, those electricians who just really get into automation and do that as kind of a specialty, as well as the, maintenance technicians and control technicians, you know, maybe have an electronics background, a mechatronics background, and then get into automation. And so, really great to have you on. And it's you have a great pedigree. They have different companies you've worked with.

You've kinda seen the industry from different angles, which, you know, a lot of people don't get that get that chance to work for a vendor and a integrator and an OEM and on the plant floor. So what really, tell us about your company, Cleveland Automation Systems. What do you guys do? Like, what was the purpose and found doing it? And and, really, what's your what's your focus?

Rylan Pyciak: Yeah. Yeah. Certainly. So click on automation system is probably the best, you know, term for us as a system integrator. Right?

We typically have various clients that come to us to solve unique problems. That's anywhere from simple, you know, field troubleshooting, simple service calls we get to complex equipment development, a lot of custom automation, as well as a lot of integration. You know? So, really, we work pretty much with every clientele across the board. I would say the main one, pretty much the only thing we don't do is oil and gas.
