Industrial Control & Automation Systems

Control and automation expertise, delivered in-house

Our industrial automation team provides a wide range of solutions across machine and process control applications. Whether you need a bespoke control panel built to exacting standards, custom PLC software for a critical production system, or a carefully managed migration away from ageing legacy equipment - we have the expertise to help.

We work across demanding sectors including nuclear, aerospace and defence, where our rigorous approach to testing and documentation sets us apart. Explore our six specialist capabilities below.

Control panels

Design, build and commission all types of control panels - from wall-mounting enclosures to complex multi-bay suites. Each one is extensively tested pre-shipment with full FAT/SAT documentation for nuclear, aerospace and defence requirements.

Control Panel Design & Build Arrow

Motor control centres (MCC)

Form Factor 2 and 4 MCCs - from compact wall or machine-mounted starter panels through to multi-bay industrial motor control centres serving complete production lines or process plants.

Motor Control Centres Arrow

PLC software

Custom PLC solutions from micro PLCs to failsafe and dual-redundant CPU configurations. Experienced across Siemens, Rockwell (Allen Bradley), Mitsubishi, Omron and most major industrial networks.

PLC Software Arrow

SCADA & HMI software

From standalone PC systems to networked multi-user client/server platforms. We select an unbiased solution to fit your application, integrating detailed graphics with production data and diagnostic screens.

SCADA & HMI Software Arrow

Motion control

Specialists in complex motion control using high-performance single and multi-axis drives. Applying the latest VSD and servo technology - from simple conveyor control to complex high-speed machinery.

Motion Control Arrow

Legacy system upgrades

Planned migration strategies for obsolete PLC, SCADA, HMI and drive systems - carried out to suit production schedules with minimal downtime. Don't wait for a critical failure.

Don't wait for something to fail

Legacy PLCs like Siemens S5 or Allen-Bradley SLC 500 often go unnoticed until they fail. The cost and disruption of an unplanned failure far outweighs a carefully managed migration - planned in advance, aligned to your budget cycle, and carried out with minimal interruption to production.

We upgrade many PLC, SCADA, HMI and drive systems every year. Talk to us early and we'll give you no-obligation advice and a clear migration strategy.
