Exactly and they want to pay them squat. I hate Siemens with a passion. They have customer hostile service. One of their sale reps showed up last month trying to sell me their PLC line — which in IMHO is slow clunky and has lousy support. Clear that it wasn’t the first time he had heard that!!
I’ve heard the same thing about them.
And PLCs? HAHAHAHA! That’s like selling a model T. We’re doing FF, PROFIBUS and HART and have been for a long time now. Awesome safety record.
Siemens motors are blackballed here at our 100 million dollars in sales pump company. Awful customer support. Poor contract management.
