Customer Quotes

We selected DSL Systems because of their great reputation. The smooth change-over was very well planned and AutoPilot4Feed is providing more than we hoped for.

Ray Winters

General Manager

We have installed DSL’s AutoPilot4Feed in the last few weeks and, whilst early days, our experience so far has been very good. The installation took place over a weekend and went to plan with a good level of support from the DSL team and excellent working together between the NWF and DSL teams. It is already clear how much potential the system has to drive our operation forward.

Steve Howe

Operations Director, NWF Agriculture

DSL were selected based on the fact they used the latest technology and were regarded as the best available

William McAusland

Production Director, Fane Valley Feeds

Since installing our first DSL system, we have seen steady improvement in outputs of up to 30% and in general a significant cost reduction through head count savings of 50%. I am confident that no other control systems are as effective as a DSL installation

Andy Vincent

Engineering Manager, BOCM PAULS

The guys at DSL are very experienced, and combined with a high level of practical knowledge gained in other mills, they are able to quickly resolve issues. DSL exceeded our expectations in the level of integration provided, allowed us to analyse the plants bottlenecks and make further changes to greatly improve the plant performance.

Aidan Mitchell

Operations Director, John Thompson & Sons

Thank you for your support, honesty, co-operation, flexibility and professionalism. We are very pleased with DSL Systems.

Jonathan Davies

Operations Director, Cambrian Pet Foods

Changing to DSL’s AutoPilot4Feed was the best thing we ever did.

Tom Rylands

Managing Director, M. E. Waterhouse

I have worked with the DSL process control system at Moy Park’s Ashbourne Mill for over ten years, and found it to be a very robust and comprehensive process control system. The DSL support engineers have always been on hand to assist and advise with any issues, allowing continuous production at all times.

Aubrey Dennison

Mill Manager, Moy Park

The pellet press lines now operate very reliably at increased efficiency and throughput. The DSL engineer did a great job all the way from the preparatory stages through the installation and follow up.

Oliver Fsadni

Production Manager, Andrews Feeds, Malta

DSL’s commissioning engineer was brilliant and was always available to help us afterwards. The upgrade went so well and the latest version of AutoPilot4Feed has let us run the mill faster than ever.
