Description:

Opto 22 manufactures controllers, I/O, solid-state relays, and software products that link electrical, mechanical, and electronic devices to networks and computers. The company's customers use its products to monitor, control, and get data from all the machines and devices that are essential to their business. The company's latest product, groov, makes it easy to build mobile operator interfaces to virtually any system, with no programming.

Opto 22 was founded in 1974 by engineers who designed a better solid-state relay and chose to build it in a non-corporate, flat organization. Over 40 years later, Opto 22 is still privately held, lean, and run by engineers.

Opto 22 products are built on open standards, with an emphasis on quality. All are manufactured and supported from the company's headquarters and factory in Temecula, California. The company's goal is to simplify automation - to simplify your day-to-day job so you can pursue new ideas and build for the future.
