PepsiAmericas Enlists OptoSolutions for Bottling Facilities Water and Power Monitoring, Ammonia Detection The Integrator– Opto-Solutions Opto-Solutions ( www.opto-solutions.com ) is a consulting and integration services company founded by Anthony Dern, a control engineer with more than 20 years experience helping customers design and deploy industrial automation, monitoring, and data acquisition projects. Included in this vast experience is a 12-year stint at Opto 22 of Temecula, California, the well-known manufacturer of I/O systems and other control hardware and software.

“I’ve always been of the opinion that Opto hardware is the best around. Some people underestimate it, but it’s truly as powerful as anything from the bigger vendors and it’s a lot easier to use. With it, you’re getting close to the best bang for your buck.”

Dern left Opto 22 two years ago to form Opto-Solutions. The company uses Opto 22 products to design systems for machine control, asset management, security and access control, building management, and other applications.
