IEC 61131-3 Structured Text, Ladder logic, and Function Block Diagram development. Expert-level PLCnext Engineer and PC Worx. Reusable function blocks, state machines, and fail-safe designs for critical applications.
Operator interface development in Visu+ and Movicon 11. Clear, functional screens built for real industrial environments — not just for demos.
Supervisory control and data acquisition systems for distributed processes. Alarm management, historian integration, and remote monitoring.
Independent review of existing PLC and HMI code. Identify safety gaps, logic errors, maintainability issues, and opportunities to standardize and simplify.
Remote fault diagnosis for PLC, HMI, and control system issues. Fast, systematic resolution to minimize downtime on production systems.
Legacy system modernization and platform migrations. Full project lifecycle management from specification through commissioning and handover.
Pricing is inquiry-based. Contact to discuss scope and fit.
HMI development for Remote Power Panels, Power Distribution Units, and Static Transfer Switches in hyperscale datacenter environments. Real-time monitoring, alarm management, and operator control for critical power infrastructure.
SCADA and PLC development for dynamic interconnection of agricultural grain processing, storage, monitoring, and material handling equipment. Complex sequencing across dryers, bins, pneumatic air systems, bucket elevators, distributors, conveyors, and augers.
PLC and HMI system for AWWA-compliant water meter testing. Automated test sequences, data logging, and pass/fail reporting integrated into a repeatable, auditable test process.
Deep inside knowledge of Phoenix Contact automation systems means honest, architecture-level guidance — not vendor-filtered advice. We know what works well and what doesn't.
Independent consulting means you get direct access — no account managers, no hand-offs. Fast communication and clear timelines.
From hyperscale datacenters to grain dryers — a breadth of application experience means better solutions and faster problem-solving.
Every design accounts for fail-safe states, interlocks, and watchdog behavior. Critical systems demand it.
