Industrial Automation Services
Upgrades to existing machine Controls:
A great number of industrial machines were built decades ago with wired electromechanical controls (buttons, relays, lights and switchgear) inside an enclosed metal box. Over the years that machine has become harder to troubleshoot and operate, and you find yourself down because of one spare part you can no longer purchase anywhere. If the mechanical side of your machine is still functional we can upgrade your controls to a cost-effective PLC solution that will bring your legacy machine back to life for a few more years.
Platform migrations / conversions:
Some manufacturers invested in PLC controls for their machines decades ago using the "latest-and-greatest". After many years of reliable service the PLC brand discontinues the hardware and phases out the configuration software. Now you are being told you need to migrate the entire system, but at a great cost. You need an alternative that will better fit your budget, specially with an older machine that will probably work for a few more years. We offer several paths to resolve your issue:
PLC Programming and troubleshooting:
Our team of experienced Engineers can help you develop and troubleshoot systems on multiple PLC platforms: Siemens, Allen Bradley, Beckhoff, SoftPLC, Opto22, Schneider and Unitronics to name a few. Regardless if you are another Control Systems Integrator firm looking to hire additional technical resources for your projects, or you're a small manufacturing business looking for the right expertise we are here to help. Send us a message with your inquiry and we'll be happy to contact you for more details.
SCADA / HMI development and troubleshooting:
We also offer a variety of HMI related engineering services, for the following:
Drives (VFD) configuration and troubleshooting:
Variable Frequency Drive technology has provided the industry with the ability to greatly control electric motors' speed and torque, making possible all kinds of applications on manufacturing and logistics. We can help you select the correct type and size for your needs, as well as configure and troubleshoot and existing drives in your plant. We also offer a "turn-key" Drive product ready to install and power-up, please see below.
Systems Integration and Consulting
As part of our broad Systems expertise, we can offer the following engineering services "a la carte":
Turn-Key Systems:
We have the following pre-built systems that can be deployed in a very short time:

- Convert the entire System to a more suitable PLC at a better cost. We have several product lines that can fit your technical requirements and available budget.
- Replace the old controller with a SoftPLC controller compatible with all of your existing I/O modules, thus dramatically reducing migration costs and time, providing a solution at a fraction of the cost.
- Add a new on-machine HMI screen to your system, to minimize buttons and further improve operation of your machine.
