Control systems that outlive the project that built them.
Automation work is judged years after handover, by whoever has to change it. We build systems with clear structure, real documentation and no dependency on us being available.
The whole control system, or the part you are stuck on.
Some customers hand us a plant. Others hand us one machine and a deadline. Both are fine.
New control systems
Specification, hardware selection, panel layout, programming, commissioning and documentation for new lines and process areas.
Upgrades & migrations
Moving off obsolete processors and unsupported software without rewriting process knowledge that already works.
Machine control
Sequencing, interlocks, recipe handling and motion for individual machines and OEM equipment.
Process control
Continuous and batch control, PID loops that are actually tuned, and alarm rationalisation so operators stop ignoring the alarm banner.
VFD configuration
Drive selection, parameter setup, tuning and network integration for pumps, fans, conveyors and extruders.
Commissioning support
Loop checks, I/O verification, functional testing, operator training and startup coverage when the schedule gets tight.
What we work on.
We are not a single vendor shop. The right controller depends on what is already installed, what your maintenance team knows and what you can buy spares for in five years.
- Allen-Bradley, ControlLogix, CompactLogix, MicroLogix, PowerFlex drives
- Siemens, S7-1500, S7-1200, S7-300, S7-400, TIA Portal and Step 7
- Opto 22, groov EPIC, SNAP PAC, PAC Control and Node RED
- Wago, PFC200, PFC100 and the 750 I/O system
- Ignition, Perspective and Vision, gateway architecture and historian
- Drives, PowerFlex, Lenze, LS Electric and imported equivalents
What you receive at handover.
- PLC source code and tag database, unlocked
- HMI and SCADA project files with all screens
- As built electrical and network drawings
- I/O list and instrument index
- Sequence of operations in plain language
- Alarm list with causes and recommended responses
- Backups of every device, plus instructions for restoring them
- Operator and maintenance training, delivered on your equipment
Every deliverable above is yours without restriction. If you want another integrator to make the next change, nothing in what we hand over will stop them.
Answers before you call.
Both, and most of our work is on systems that already exist. Greenfield projects are simpler but rarer. The harder and more common job is changing a running plant without stopping it for longer than agreed.
Allen-Bradley (ControlLogix, CompactLogix, MicroLogix), Siemens (S7-1200, S7-1500 and legacy S7-300 and S7-400), Opto 22 (groov EPIC, SNAP PAC) and Wago (PFC100, PFC200). We also work on imported controllers that are clones or close relatives of these families.
Yes. You get the program, the tag database, the drawings, the backups and the documentation, with no restrictions on who may work on it later. Holding a customer's source code hostage is a business model we want no part of.
Code is written and simulated off site, then tested against the real hardware wherever a test rig or spare processor can be arranged. The cutover window is planned in advance with a documented rollback position, so if something unexpected appears we can put the plant back the way it was.
Yes, though we will want to review what exists before committing to a timeline. Inheriting a partly finished system is normal work; inheriting one while pretending we already understand it is not.
Bring us the part you are stuck on.
Whole plant or single machine, the first conversation is the same either way.
