About Area52
Tim Fogarty launched Area52 in 2015 to provide automation solutions for the crustacean and seafood processing industry. Our technologies solve customers' challenging problems related to labor shortages and product quality. Our focus on innovation and practical solutions – as well as our team approach to efficiency and productivity – leads us to manage the deep with continuous improvement and constant refinement.
We offer many patented solutions to the challenges of crustacean and seafood processing. From stunning to shipment, our systems provide control, consistency and continuity throughout production, including IIoT coverage that adapts to any equipment for cost-effective analysis of all significant KPIs and actionable milestones. We design, produce, install and support all our products, including custom-engineered systems for unique production needs. From catch to market, we manage the deep.
Every customer receives phone support, onsite service and available after-hours on-call assistance. Our help desk receives support tickets 24/7. For customers who make use of our IIoT solutions, we can respond to data analytics and threshold alerts with remote assistance. Our support portal provides training videos, user manuals and a full knowledge base.
We maintain a full spare parts inventory for rapid response to warranty repair and service needs. Along with routine periodic site check-ins, we also offer startup service for season-specific facilities.
