Testimonials



On the receipt of a major order for a coating machine we decided to use a fully integrated Siemens solution for the drives and PLC. Due to the size of the project we asked HMK and Siemens to recommend a subcontractor to program the equipment. Both companies recommended Paul Wearing at Sheer Systems Ltd.
The system consisted of fourteen compact plus drives on our machine and four drives on another suppliers equipment, all connected via Profibus. An S7 300 PLC with distributed I/O units was used as the control. In addition to this there was a requirement for a complex HMI program with data logging and integrated with another suppliers HMI program.
We supplied a functional design specification to Sheer Systems and they did the rest. They immediately showed us that they had a complete understanding of the machine requirements. They went on to assist us with the control design so that when program met machine there where no surprises.
On completion of the machine, Paul attended Doel Engineering Ltd to commission the program and test the machine. When the machine was finally installed in Ireland, he re-commissioned and tested the system with the other suppliers equipment.
The customer had the software inspected by an independent programmer who believed it to be one of the best they had encountered.
Doel Engineering Ltd has and will continue to recommend and use the services of Sheer Systems Ltd.

Sheer Systems is a highly competent and reliable partner that we can recommend to customers with even the most demanding technical requirements. With their wealth of technical experience, attention to detail and attitude of partnership with ourselves and our clients we can be assured of the best possible outcomes for projects in which they are involved.

Stickpack Europe Limited have used Sheer Systems to develop cutting edge Stickpack manufacturing technology and have found them to be knowledgeable, efficient and very professional in the approach, whether it be programming new machinery or fault finding on existing equipment in the field.



Paul’s technical ability on project applications is excellent. His ability to design and construct an electrical control system from the base upwards is a major asset to his company, Sheer Systems. Having worked with Paul and his company, firstly as a customer with a previous employer and also as an associate. I can without doubt claim that his overall knowledge and experience of his field in engineering is of the highest standard. His particular knowledge of PLC Programming and Electronic Drives/ Motor controllers for many different platforms is indeed a very strong reason, why potential customers should not hesitate in working with Paul.
A particular example of a project where he excelled on was on a project that contained a very complex and high speed multi-axis drives control system, the drive parameterisation and coding to link with the PLC’s was undergoing major re-development by the hardware supplier. The application involved huge involvement with Paul’s overall drive control capabilities a key aspect to its success. The structure and layout of the PLC code was also very well prepared and presented to his client in a way that made it easy to support and train controls, commissioning engineers that would be working with the machinery. 
His commitment and loyalty to any particular project that he works with is unquestionable. I would certainly have no hesitation in working with Paul in any project. In fact the more complex and advanced the project or application is, the more likely I would approach Paul to enquire about his availability. I have no doubt that I will be working with Paul again in the future and I look forward to it.
