01 · Industrial automation

Control systems that stay maintainable.

We program PLCs and HMIs the way the next engineer would want to inherit them — clearly named tags, consistent program structure, and documentation that matches what’s actually running.

  • PLC programming on Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Schneider, Codesys
  • HMI development with consistent, sensible graphics
  • Process sequencing, PID tuning and alarm management
  • Duty/standby control, recipe-driven batching
  • Legacy PLC migrations under planned shutdown windows

02 · Electrical engineering

Switchboards, designed to last.

MCC and switchboard design from single-line through to as-built documentation. Built to AS/NZS 3000 and the relevant section of AS/NZS 61439, with protection coordination that’s calculated — not copied.

  • Motor control centre and switchboard design
  • Power distribution, maximum demand and cable sizing
  • Protection coordination and arc flash studies
  • VSD selection, motor starter sizing
  • As-built drawings that match the panel in the field

03 · SCADA & digital operations

Real plant visibility, built on Ignition.

We deliver Ignition projects that operators actually use — clean graphics, sensible navigation, alarms that mean something, and SQL-backed history you can query later.

  • Ignition development across single sites and multi-site enterprises
  • Tag-based architecture for scalable multi-plant deployments
  • Mobile and remote operational visibility
  • Reporting and analytics from a single history store
  • Secure OT/IT network integration
  • Legacy SCADA migrations — Citect, Wonderware, GE iFIX

04 · Commissioning & site support

From cold panel to signed off.

We commission what we design, and we support what we commission. Factory acceptance, site acceptance, IO validation, plant shutdowns and remote troubleshooting — the same engineers who wrote the code are the ones on site.

  • Factory acceptance testing (FAT) in our workshop or yours
  • Site acceptance testing (SAT) and IO point-to-point
  • Plant shutdown coordination and execution
  • Process troubleshooting and root cause analysis
  • 24/7 remote support coverage
  • Operator training and as-built handover

How we work

One team, end to end.

Most automation projects suffer at the handoffs. Ours don’t have many — the engineer who scopes the work is one of the engineers who commissions it.

01

Scope & design

We walk the plant, read what’s already there, and write a scope document you can actually plan against — with the assumptions and the risks called out, not buried.

02

Build & FAT

PLC code, HMI graphics and panel build happen in parallel. Factory acceptance testing happens in our workshop with you in the room before anything leaves.

03

Commission & support

Site acceptance, operator training and 24/7 remote support after go-live. The codebase you receive matches what’s running, with documentation that stays current.

Let’s chat

Tell us about the problem.

Whether it’s a single component, a full system migration, or you’re not sure where to start — we’ll scope the work with you and come back with a realistic plan. Most initial responses inside one business day.
