Canadian Business Awards 2022

From ‘newbie’ to ‘expert,’ STR Automatisation Inc is established as the Best Industrial Automation Solutions Provider of 2022. Whether it concerns the food, mining, forestry, or manufacturing sectors, STR Automatisation provides the best industrial automation solutions for its customers, from simple control troubleshooting needs to large turnkey projects. Launched just before the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, STR Automatisation initially struggled to gain recognition due to the government regulations and the country’s confinement during the several nationwide lockdowns. Even after factories and organizations slowly opened their doors, STR Automatisation was met with additional difficulties as industries were reluctant to welcome suppliers onto the premises. However, as any good story begins, its struggles only drove the company to achieve success – breaking through the cycle of problematic effects by becoming determined, passionate and overwhelmingly patient. So, while awaiting deconfinement, STR Automatisation took to the internet to publicize the company, creating an increase in visibility and attracting new customers. For STR Automatisation, the overall mission is to build automated systems to meet and exceed its customers’ current and potential needs. These featured systems are simple to understand, use and diagnose with intuitive controls interfaces so that individuals operating the systems feel comfortable, capable, and entrusted with. STR Automatisation is based in Quebec, Canada, which is a massive benefit for the company with the vast opportunities being offered in this region. In addition, the company’s location is a significant advantage in the industry. It allows to company to thrive and obtain recognition amongst its competition – standing out from its rivals. Moreover, STR Automatisation is fuelled by an innate desire to achieve complete customer satisfaction – taking the time during each project to identify and clarify each requirement from its customers to offer the best solutions and expertise, improving the project’s overall efficiency. As each client and project is different, the company can develop, adapt, and evolve to each case and provide unwavering support, guidance, and quality assurance for individualized standards. STR Automatisation is a proactive company within the industry that has aided in a gaining an increase in reputation as the market-leading industrial automation solutions provider. As mentioned previously, being founded in Quebec has ensured a series of benefits for the company, one of them being the ability to service a combination of French and English-speaking clients. In addition, being a bilingual company allows STR Automatisation to expand its client base and its recognition across a multitude of sectors and nations. Currently trending with the automation sector is the modernization of the industry. “More customers are modernizing to have more information on their systems and optimize their preventive maintenance, which contributes to the longevity of their equipment and reduces production losses linked to breakdowns. It is also a good way to find a solution to the manpower shortage, which already existed before the pandemic, and has increased because of it. Also, it is one of the reasons why companies choose to automate their production more and improve their existing systems,” explains owner and president Toni Rioux. From a young age, Toni was always interested in all that was electronic or electrical and would even go as far as to take items apart to see how they would fit back together. Toni’s innovative and curious mind allowed him to understand, assemble, and fix everyday objects for many years until it dawned on him that he could apply his continuous interest in the sector towards a career in automation Going into adulthood, Toni’s fascination grew. Stemming from a position on a CNC machine, he became enthralled by the automated world and knew he wanted to bring machines to life from that very moment. After several years of studying industrial automation and decades of experience working for control and automation companies, Toni established his own – leaving his senior automation technician job and becoming self-employed as the President of STR Automatisation. “I am fascinated by this world full of possibilities. I love testing all new technological products and integrating them into my projects. However, I believe my greatest strength is my excellent understanding of control logic which makes me a good programmer – knowing how to simplify complex operations into a simple code that is easy to understand for less experienced people who can view it for troubleshooting purposes,” states Toni. Going forward for STR Automatisation, the overall goal for 2022 is to continue providing excellent service and unparalleled quality and solutions for its customers. In addition, aiming to expand over the next few years, the company plans to take on more recruits and clients in the near future – establishing a solid reputation in the field of industrial automation and becoming an even greater national success story.
