The Evolution of Timers

Timers - Evolution - Modernization - Finder

When designing systems, PLCs or PLRs, like the Finder OPTA, allow great flexibility in design and programming. Open-source platforms offer great solutions for programming options, be it Codesys or Arduino IDE.

But what if the application doesn’t warrant any complexity?

Just turn on for x, or come on x times over x?

A simpler approach – a timer of sorts would work.
Want something different from turning timer dials – more precision? No buttons to push and hold, less cumbersome?

What about an app-based programming environment for standard timer controls.
Does that make it easier? At the heart of Finder is a need for Innovation – for exciting new products.
It’s in our logo.

With that in mind, we’ve launched more app-based, innovative products over recent years.
The old timers had dials to set – how do you configure these? It’s easy!
