While in industry automation is crucial for the improvement of productivity and quality, reality shows that automation has improved the life of a person in different areas, as it eases the activities that we do every day.
Applying the concept of automation to the industry sector, Advanced Automation and Controls, started operations in 2005. Today the company, which is now known as “JMartans automation”, has evolved into a primary source of professional advice and automation services. The core activities are based on four distinct areas, namely industrial, building, home and marine automation.
The company is the brainchild of Jonathan Grech, its managing director who started the business in 2005 as Advanced Automation & Controls Ltd offering a number of services in the automation industry. Operating from its premises in Mosta, JMartans automation has successfully developed software and commissioned various types of projects to customers around the world such as Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Turkey, Iran, Nigeria, Malaysia and China.
JMartans’ past experience has enabled the company to become highly flexible and able to support various types of installation requirements in both local and foreign markets. Whether in an advisory or executive capacity, JMartans has the expertise and the experience. This applies to projects of a various industrial nature and related specialties such as process, weighing and dosing, industrial networks, and data logging from which the company has managed to gain specific knowledge and experience.
JMartans is not only equipped to service large industrial manufacturing clients but is also geared to assist other sectors. Backed by a number of prestigious brands from the home automation industry, as well as by reputable experts, JMartans is positioned to deliver a creative and luxurious environment that can be power saving as well. Another area deals with Marine Automation, providing marine automation system integration design, consultation and implementation and delivering service work and repairs to existing automation systems.
When it comes to building automation, JMartans caters for energy management systems such as peak demand monitoring, current detection, network monitoring, metering, energy pulse counting, data logging and visualisation, lighting controls such as switching and timers, blinds and shutters control including climate enhancement, automatic programmes and safety modes, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, security, safety, touch and display panels and remote access.
With the launch of its new name, JMartans Automation wanted its new image to reflect a solid past experience and its passion for an even more successful future. The company hired Corporate Identities International to carry an overview of its operations and identify the image it enjoys both internally and externally, and to design a new logo which mirrors this image and the basic values that the JMartans brand stands for.
The result is a highly defined logo in solid black, which represents JMartans as a brand founded on solid experience and expertise. Further depth and a sense of movement is accentuated by a spherical design made up of four distinct colours which unify the logo from a visual point of view but which at the same time are representative of the four main areas of operations namely red for Industrial Automation, yellow for Building Automation, green for Home Automation and blue for Marine Automation.
“Things are looking good and business is growing. In fact, we are currently in the process of seeking to employ a number of new engineers to join the company. It’s amazing when we think about the days when we started. We know we are always driven by a genuine passion, but we never imagined we would achieve what we achieved today and we can only be optimistic for the coming years,” concluded Mr Grech.
