Controls Engineering for Conveyor Systems and Industrial Controls

The complete
automation stack.

Controls engineering for the entire automation stack. PLCs and robots get the headlines — but it's the drives, vision, conveyors and safety that make a line actually run.

We integrate the whole thing — from a single VFD commissioning to complete multi-vendor line automation with deterministic comms and validated safety.

/07Controls Engineering FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

Everything from a single VFD commissioning to complete production line integration. We handle new builds, retrofits and field troubleshooting across every major automation platform.

Yes — full electrical design, panel layout, BOM generation and panel fabrication through certified partner shops. All designs meet UL 508A and NFPA 79.

Absolutely. PLC-5 to ControlLogix migrations, S5 to S7-1500, GE 90-30 to RX3i. We preserve the asset and modernize the controls without scrapping the machine.

Risk assessment per ISO 12100, safety circuit design per ISO 13849 / IEC 62061, validation testing and full compliance documentation. We deliver a signed safety file with every build.

Single VFD commissioning: 1–2 days. Retrofit of a stand-alone machine: 4–8 weeks. Full line integration: 12–24 weeks. We commit to a milestone schedule in DOC-02 before any work begins.

Yes — every project includes hands-on training at your facility plus printed and digital documentation. Curricula in EN · ES · 中文.
