Unique in the industry, Quark Automation can offer a full range of Integrated technologies in partnership with QuarkIT and Quark AudioVisual. This includes:

Integrated Systems Engineering & Consultancy

Systems Engineering is one of the most important things we do at Quark Automation. With Systems Engineering, you can be assured that the utmost attention to detail has been given to your project, not only by the Consultancy expert whom you first met with, but by a team of experienced experts headed by Registered Professional Engineers (RPEQ certified).

Systems Engineering typically involves a range of diverse products. A product or combination of products that is perfect for one installation may not provide the best solution in another. This is where our expert staff can examine your requirements and advise you of the options that are best suited to your needs.

Getting your system solution right for you is what drives us. If there is a way to do something better, our Engineering team will find it. Typically, Engineering is a process that takes around three weeks for most residential projects. Throughout this process, all the needs and requirements discussed with you by our Consultants are examined as a whole and the complete solution is looked into from every angle. This is the point where our experts ask the "What if?" questions of the products selected so that you never have to.

C-Bus™ Control and Management Systems

A name recognised for quality and innovation, Clipsal® has been in our homes and part of Australian life since the 1920s. During the early 1990s, we saw the introduction of the Clipsal® Energy Management System, which came to be known as C-Bus™ (Clipsal-Bus). Over the years, the C-Bus™ Control and Management System has achieved success not only in Australia, but worldwide, becoming the "Gold Standard" for Home and Commercial lighting and power control.

Quark Automation can design, supply, program and install C-Bus™ in both residential and commercial projects, ranging from the beautiful and functional, to the truly sophisticated and fully-automated. As part of the flexibility offered through C-Bus™, Energy Management may also be incorporated.

Structured Wiring

One of the most frequently asked questions our consultants hear is "What is smart wiring?". This often misunderstood term is used by many people to describe Systems Integration packages as a whole. In reality, smart wiring or smart cabling as it is sometimes referred to, is the wiring infrastructure for the technologies in your Integrated Solution.

Typically, a Smart-wired home will have one services location (usually a rack) where telephone, data, TV and audio points are distributed from to all key areas throughout the home. This may involve just a pre-wire solution getting ready for what could be added at a later date, or it may involve a partial fit-out as preference or budget prescribes.

It is important to acknowledge that in practical terms, complete lighting systems cannot be pre-wired for smart control this needs to be planned and implemented from the beginning of your project for the very best results. Quark Automation can provide smart wiring solutions for all your AudioVisual and data requirements.

VoIP Telephony

Voice over IP (VoIP) is an exciting technology that is fast changing the way we think about home and business telephony. Benefits can include savings on local, long-distance and international phone calls. VoIP systems can be developed in partnership with our Quark IT division as part of you residential or commercial application, including multi-dwelling residences or suburban developments.
