PLC Services and PLC Automation Solutions

Your PLC problems
end here.

Certified PLC engineers — not sales reps. When your line stops, you need someone who knows your exact controller, can VPN in within 30 minutes, and won't hang up until you're running again.

1,200+ PLCs programmed across Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Beckhoff and Keyence. From legacy PLC-5 migrations to brand-new ControlLogix commissioning — the entire lifecycle of your control systems.

PLC Services for Migration, Commissioning,
Troubleshooting, and Support

/ The Problem05 issues

Common PLC service scenarios

  • P-01Migrate a 20-year-old PLC-5 to ControlLogix without losing weeks of production.
  • P-02Commission a new line with 47 stations and zero schedule slip.
  • P-03Troubleshoot a fault that nobody on the maintenance team can diagnose.
  • P-04Integrate a robot cell into your existing SCADA without breaking comms.
  • P-05Re-program safety PLCs to meet updated ISO 13849 / IEC 62061 standards.

…you need specialists who live and breathe PLC programming.

/07PLC Services FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

Allen-Bradley (Rockwell), Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Beckhoff, Keyence as primary platforms. Also ABB AC500, Schneider Modicon, GE/Emerson, Honeywell when needed. We adapt to your installed base — we don't push a brand.

Remote support within 30 min during business hours. 24/7 emergency hotline with 2-hour response. Same-day on-site dispatch across the U.S. Midwest. Engineer named on your account knows your system before they pick up.

Both. ~85 % of issues resolved remotely via secure VPN. On-site available across U.S., México, and Canada for commissioning, hardware swaps, and complex faults.

A single PLC-5 → ControlLogix migration runs $15,000–$40,000 including hardware, programming, FAT/SAT and weekend commissioning. We provide fixed quotes after the discovery audit — no T&M surprises.

Yes. We collaborate with OEMs and integrators regularly. No territorial disputes — our job is to get your line back to rate. We'll co-sign documentation and respect existing IP.

Yes. Knowledge transfer is included in every project. We also deliver standalone PLC fundamentals and platform-specific courses (Studio 5000, TIA Portal, GX Works) on-site or remote.
