FAQ

Controls engineering services can help your company in several key areas:

Increased Efficiency: Automation and optimised control systems streamline operations, reducing energy consumption and downtime.
Improved Reliability: Robust control systems ensure your equipment operates consistently and safely, minimising errors and breakdowns.
Cost Reduction: By automating processes and improving system performance, you can reduce labour costs and material waste.
Scalability: Controls engineering helps design systems that can easily be scaled as your business grows or as production needs evolve.

Controls engineering is vital across various industries, including:

Manufacturing: Automating production lines, controlling robotic systems, and integrating machinery.
Oil & Gas: Monitoring and controlling extraction processes, refineries, and pipeline systems.
Energy & Utilities: Managing power generation, distribution, and renewable energy systems.
Automotive: Optimising manufacturing processes for high-quality, efficient vehicle production.
Pharmaceuticals & Food Processing: Ensuring precision in critical production steps, like mixing, temperature control, and packaging.
Building Automation: Managing HVAC, lighting, and security systems for efficiency and comfort.

Our process involves several phases:

1. Initial Consultation: We work closely with your team to understand the project requirements, existing systems, and desired outcomes.
2. System Design & Specification: We design control systems, selecting appropriate hardware, software, and components based on your needs.
3. Programming & Integration: We write software code (e.g., PLC programming, SCADA integration) and ensure smooth integration with existing equipment.
4. Testing & Commissioning: Once the system is installed, we conduct thorough testing and calibration to ensure proper operation.
5. Ongoing Support & Optimisation: After deployment, we provide continuous support, monitoring, and optimisation to improve performance over time.

We design and implement a range of control systems, including:

PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) Systems: For automation and control of machinery, production lines, and processes.
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) Systems: For remote monitoring and control of processes across different facilities.
DCS (Distributed Control Systems): For complex, continuous processes like power generation or chemical manufacturing.
Motion Control Systems: For controlling the precise movement of robotic arms, conveyors, or automated vehicles.
HMI (Human-Machine Interface) Design: To provide operators with intuitive control panels and dashboards for monitoring systems.
Industrial IoT (Internet of Things) Solutions: For integrating sensors and devices into the control system to enable real-time data collection and analysis.

We prioritise reliability by:

Redundancy: Designing systems with backup components to ensure continuous operation in case of failure.
Testing & Quality Assurance: Thorough testing during every stage of development to identify and resolve issues before installation.
Real-time Monitoring: Implementing monitoring tools to detect system performance issues early and allow for prompt corrective actions.
Predictive Maintenance: Using data analytics to predict and prevent potential failures before they occur, ensuring systems remain operational.

PLC programming is essential in controlling automated processes. PLCs act as the brain of control systems, executing instructions based on real-time inputs from sensors and sending outputs to control machinery and equipment. We write custom PLC programs that ensure your systems function optimally and safely while being adaptable to changes in processes.

The timeline for implementing a control system varies based on the project’s complexity. Simple systems can take a few weeks, while more complex, large-scale systems can take several months. We work with you to define project milestones, ensure timely progress, and keep you updated throughout the process.

We provide comprehensive post-deployment support, including:

System Monitoring & Maintenance: Regular checks to ensure system reliability and optimal performance.
Troubleshooting & Optimisation: Addressing any issues that arise and fine-tuning the system to improve efficiency.
Training: Providing training for your team to ensure they can operate and troubleshoot the system effectively.
Upgrades & Expansions: Assisting with software updates, hardware upgrades, or system expansions as your business needs evolve.

We design control systems with energy efficiency in mind by:

Optimising Processes: Streamlining operations to use less energy without sacrificing output.
Energy Monitoring: Integrating energy monitoring capabilities to identify areas of excess consumption.
Smart Scheduling: Scheduling high-energy tasks during off-peak times or automating systems to minimise energy use during idle periods.
Feedback Loops: Implementing real-time feedback to adjust operations for maximum efficiency.

The cost of controls engineering services depends on several factors, such as the complexity of the project, the size of the system, and the type of control system required. We offer customised quotes based on your specific needs and budget. Our goal is to provide you with a high return on investment by designing systems that enhance productivity and reduce long-term costs.

Yes, we specialise in retrofitting and upgrading legacy control systems. We can help modernise your outdated systems, integrating newer technologies for better performance, reliability, and ease of operation. Whether it’s upgrading PLCs, incorporating IoT devices, or enhancing HMI interfaces, we ensure that your system stays current and efficient.

To get started, simply reach out to us via our website or contact us directly. We’ll arrange a consultation to discuss your specific needs, assess your current systems, and provide a tailored proposal. From there, we’ll work together to design and implement a control system that meets your goals.
