PLC and SCADA on the production side. BAS, video and access control on the facility side. Tied together so an office build-out and the plant it attaches to report to one front end.
General contractors, mechanical contractors and integrators bring us in as the controls scope; quoted, installed, commissioned and documented by one point of contact.
Select a scope for what is included, how it runs, and the kind of work it has covered.
Point-to-point verification, sequence-of-operations proving, functional testing, and as-built documentation the owner can use.
02Process controls and building systems on one architecture — office spaces tied into the industrial space they sit inside.
03Nuisance trips, comm faults, orphaned controllers, drawings that stopped matching the building. We find it and fix it.
04Legacy and end-of-life systems moved onto supported platforms with staged cutovers that keep the facility running.
05Controls networks, managed switching, VLAN segmentation and device addressing built to survive an IT department's review.
06Scheduled preventive work, remote support and a standing relationship after the general contractor demobilizes.
You talk to the engineer holding the laptop. Questions get answered the same day, not routed through a branch office.
Fifteen years fixing other people's installs shapes how we build ours: labeled, documented, serviceable.
One vendor for the plant floor and the office it feeds — no finger-pointing between the controls sub and the BAS sub.
We scope from what actually gets maintained after handoff, not from a catalog. Bring us in at design assist to size the controls scope, or at install to execute one already drawn.

Direct, prime sub, or T&M labor to integrators. Design assist, install, commissioning and service.
Point-to-point verification, sequence proving, functional testing and as-builts the owner can actually use.
We commission new controls and BAS installs, and retro-commission systems that were never proven out or that drifted after handoff. Every point is verified against the submittal, every sequence of operations is exercised in normal, failure and override modes, and the documentation leaving the site matches what is in the panel.
Commissioning is where a controls job either becomes maintainable or becomes someone else's problem. We treat it as a deliverable, not a punch list item.
Have a commissioning scope to price? Send the submittals and point count and you will get a number from the engineer who will be on site.
Request a quoteProcess controls and building systems on one architecture, so the office and the plant it sits inside report to one front end.
Most facilities run two disconnected control worlds: PLC and SCADA for production, a separate BAS for the building, and video and access on a third island. We design and integrate them onto one architecture — shared network, shared trending and alarming, one supervisor an operator can actually be trained on.
That means one vendor holding both sides of the wall, and no finger-pointing between the controls sub and the BAS sub when a scope gap shows up at commissioning.
Send the mechanical drawings and we will mark up where the two systems should meet before anything is ordered.
Request a quoteNuisance trips, comm faults, orphaned controllers, drawings that stopped matching the building. We find it and fix it.
Fifteen years of electrical maintenance and instrumentation work before controls engineering means the diagnosis starts at the device, not at the graphic. We trace the fault through wiring, instrument, controller, network and code — in that order — and report what was actually wrong.
Where the drawings no longer match the building, we correct them as part of the call so the next person does not repeat the search.

260-274-9290Legacy and end-of-life systems moved onto supported platforms, with staged cutovers that keep the facility running.
Unsupported controllers, obsolete front ends and proprietary systems nobody will quote get moved onto current platforms. The work starts with documenting what the existing system actually does — sequences, interlocks, tribal knowledge — so the replacement is judged against real behavior instead of an old submittal.
Cutovers are staged by area or by system, scheduled around production, with a return path if a stage does not prove out.
Tell us the platform you are stuck on and the shutdown windows you have. We will lay out the stages.
Request a quoteControls networks, managed switching, VLAN segmentation and device addressing built to survive an IT department's review.
Controls networks are increasingly IT's problem too, and a flat network full of unmanaged switches is where that conversation goes badly. We design and build the controls layer as a documented network: addressed, segmented, labeled, and defensible in a review.
Where an IT group owns the core, we work to their standards and hand back an address schedule and topology they can accept.
Bring us in before the switches are ordered — segmentation is cheap on paper and expensive in the field.
Request a quoteScheduled preventive work, remote support and a standing relationship after the general contractor demobilizes.
A controls system starts drifting the day the project team leaves: overrides left in, schedules changed by hand, sensors out of calibration, backups that were never taken. A service agreement puts a scheduled visit and a named engineer against that drift.
Agreements are scoped to the site — visit frequency, response expectations and what is included — rather than sold as a tier.
Tell us the systems on site and how they are staffed. We will propose a visit schedule and what it covers.
Request a quoteDirect engineer, single point of contact from quote to commissioning. No account layers, no subcontracted black box.
