Services
Electrical, mechanical and control systems engineering under one roof — so nobody has to co-ordinate three trades to get a machine running again.
Control & software
The layer that runs the process: sequence logic, interlocks, alarm handling and I/O.
Programs written to be read as well as run — structured, commented and handed over, so the next engineer on site isn't reverse-engineering somebody else's shorthand at two in the morning. New logic from scratch, or changes to a machine that has already been through three sets of hands.
Tracking down the fault in code somebody else wrote, on a line that needs to run.
Intermittent trips, a sequence that stalls at the same step, alarms nobody can explain. We go through the program, the I/O and the field devices until the cause is found rather than masked — then fix it and tell you what it actually was.
Getting controllers, drives and remote I/O talking to each other properly.
Processor and rack configuration, drive parameters, remote I/O and the addressing that ties it together. Done once, documented, so a future change is an afternoon rather than an archaeology project.
Joining machines, cells and the wider plant so data actually moves.
Industrial networks between controllers, drives, HMIs and supervisory systems — including linking older equipment that was never designed to talk to anything into a plant that now expects it to.
Design & install
Panels designed, built and documented for the job they'll do.
From the schematic through to a built, wired and labelled panel — sized for the process it controls rather than the catalogue, and drawn up so the person who opens it in five years can follow it.
New plant and new lines, controlled properly from day one.
Electrical, mechanical and control work on new equipment — including for OEM machine builders who need the control side handled while they get on with the machine.
Old technology swapped for new, low-cost, reliable alternatives — without replacing the line.
The work we're built around. Most machinery that feels finished is mechanically sound and electrically obsolete: the controller is unsupported, spares have dried up, nobody has the software. Replacing the control system costs a fraction of replacing the machine and buys another decade.
Proving the system does what it was specified to do.
Point-to-point checks, dry runs, sequence proving and sign-off — the part that decides whether a project ends cleanly or drags on for months of snagging.
Working out what the job actually is, before anyone quotes it.
When the shape of the project isn't settled — what to keep, what to replace, what it will realistically involve. Sometimes the useful answer is that a smaller piece of work would solve the problem.
Keeping it running
A line has stopped and it needs to be running again.
Attendance when production is down. The more you can tell us up front — the machine, the controller make, what it's actually doing — the better prepared we arrive, which is usually the difference between one visit and two.
So the line stops less often, and not in the middle of a shift.
Scheduled inspection and service of control equipment — backups taken and verified, panels checked, drives and I/O inspected. Most emergency callouts are a foreseeable failure that nobody looked for.
Often enough to settle a problem without anyone getting in a van.
Where a system can be reached safely and securely, a fault can frequently be diagnosed — and sometimes fixed — remotely. Faster for you, and cheaper than a callout that turns out to be a parameter.
So your own team can take it from there.
Walking your maintenance people through the system as built — what it does, where to look when it stops, and what is safe to change. A system nobody understands becomes a callout every time it hiccups.
Describe the machine and what it’s doing, and we’ll tell you. If a smaller piece of work would fix it, we’ll say that too.
