Hardware

Sharper Solutions for Automation, LLC, sells only hardware which has passed extensive testing.

We make those test results available to you on each items information page thus showing you why we use that “brand” of hardware for that application. To see a sample test report click on this link .

We DO NOT private label hardware to enable us to over charge for off the self products. DNC companies DO NOT build their own hardware, they only put their label on some one else’s product.

We DO NOT “bait and switch” by listing inferior low cost hardware that will not perform just to get you hooked and then force you to “upgrade” when that solution fails.

We ONLY sell hardware solutions that work.

All of our hardware solutions WILL drip feed using your choice of hardware and/or software handshaking.

We DO sell state of the art products from made in the USA Quatech and Quabbin, as well as Digi, Moxa, ADR, Cisco, QSI and more….
