Controls System Upgrades

PLCs and controls systems have a longer life span than most of our every day technology but they do eventually reach end of life.

We can plan and execute a complete controls system upgrade, incremental upgrades or replace a single mission-critical device with a modern, capable solution.

Practical Software

We produce software that will be easy for your staff to maintain.

When downtime happens at 2am we want your team to understand the software quickly so you can return to production.

Diverse Technology

Our experts have worked with all of the PLC manufactures, robotics lines and vision systems.

We’ve used this hardware to implement solutions in many industries including automotive, pharmaceutical, oil and gas, and food and beverage.

Philosophy

“We’ve done it this way for years” is by no means the best way to engineer a system.

We bring fresh ideas tied in with the latest technology from major vendors to introduce a modern, effective controls system to your plant.

Improve Data Visibility

We use web browsers every day. They’re on our desk at work, they’re on our tablet at home. They’re even in our pockets and purses!

Use this ubiquitous interface to visualize your plant’s processes with a combination of thoroughly deployed open source software and a custom web application to get production data to the front office staff quickly and easily.

Usability Enhancement

Industrial technology is typically 10 years behind what we experience elsewhere, and the software tends to lag about the same. And this is necessary for the plant floor where rugged, proven components are a necessity.

But outside the shop floor you can improve usability of all of your data by allowing modern functionality such as pinch-to-zoom, drag to scroll, copy and paste and everything you’re used to on your desktop computer or smartphone.
