Core Competency

PLC Programming

PLC programming is our core competency and the fundamental backbone of a robust control system. While most programmers use techniques to make their job easy, we focus on the end users who run the machine and the maintenance personnel who support it.

We are firm believers in implementing the simplest code that an application allows.

  • Organized task, program, and routine structure
  • Logic that is as simple as an application allows
  • Meaningful tag names and descriptions
  • Rung comments that explain program concepts

HMI Development

Screens Built for Operators

A good HMI cuts down on operator mistakes, speeds up startups, and makes troubleshooting faster. We design the screens together with the PLC code, as one system.

FactoryTalk View ME

PanelView terminal development for Allen-Bradley environments.

FactoryTalk View SE

Plant-wide SCADA and supervisory visualization.

Safety Systems That Protect People and Uptime

We design safety systems to ISO 13849, using safety PLCs, light curtains, safety relays, e-stops, and two-hand controls.

GuardLogix Safety PLCs

Integrated safety and standard control in a single platform.

Light Curtains & E-Stops

Perimeter guarding and manual reset devices integrated into logic.

ISO 13849

Compliant designs with proper PL assessments.

Safety Documentation

Risk assessments, validation reports, and functional safety files.

Servo and Drive Work

We set up, tune, and commission servo drives and VFDs, from a single positioning axis to multi-axis synchronized motion.

Camera-Based Inspection & Guidance

We set up Cognex and Keyence cameras for inspection, guidance, and code reading, and wire the results into the PLC so the line can act on them.

  • Part presence / absence detection
  • Dimensional inspection and measurement
  • Barcode, QR, and OCR reading
  • Robot guidance and pick-and-place positioning
  • Vision results wired directly into PLC logic
