The Partner Makes The Difference
Software alone doesn’t solve manufacturing problems — configuration, integration, and ongoing expertise do.
Rain Engineering holds Velotic Proficy’s highest partner designation — certified across Historian, HMI/SCADA, Plant Applications, Operations Hub, Scheduler, and IGS.
We don’t just configure software — we understand the devices, protocols, and processes on your floor. That’s what makes our integrations reliable from day one.
Before any configuration begins, we map your actual business problems. Technology is the last thing we discuss, not the first — so the system solves what actually hurts.
Every engagement includes training for your team. The goal isn’t dependency — it’s confident ownership. Your people leave knowing how to run, maintain, and expand the system.
When your plant has a problem, every hour costs money. Rain Engineering guarantees a 2 hour response on support cases — because production doesn’t wait.
We’ve been implementing Proficy for years. We’re here for your first go-live, your second expansion, and the system migration five years from now.

From a full day of spreadsheets to 30 minutes — and double-digit growth
AtriCure manufactures cardiac devices across 30 work centers with nearly 100 cross-trained employees. Managing scheduling in Excel was becoming impossible. Rain Engineering changed that.
“Systems are complicated. Rain Engineering specializes in the use and support of manufacturing systems — what you have in place today, and what you’re thinking about implementing tomorrow. Their tools and services streamline systems change and help you make the most of your technology investment. Results were better than anticipated.”
— Chuck Kirkendall, Sr. Manager, Demand Planning & Inventory Management at Atricure
The person holding it all together — barely
Susan is the scheduler at a medical device manufacturer. She used to spend her day manually collecting information from Sales, HR, Finance, Supply Chain, and Operations — then building a schedule in Excel, printing it, and walking the floor to distribute it.
Our production planning specialist calls it “spending the whole day working on a puzzle and having people walk in and kick the table several times a day.”
Today, after Rain Engineering deployed Proficy Scheduler and integrated it to her business systems, Susan’s 8-hour process takes less than 2 hours — even after two years of double-digit production growth.
