Allen-Bradley and CODESYS-based PLC programming, FactoryTalk View HMI development, Ignition SCADA, drive integration, and on-site commissioning for manufacturers, machine builders, and integrators. Based in Appleton, WI, working on site nationwide and remotely.
Writing reliable machine and process code, and getting it running on the floor. We've done both at an OEM and as an independent shop, so we know what it takes from spec to signed-off startup.
New machine code, retrofits, and changes to existing programs, written to be read and maintained by your team long after the project ends.
No project is done until it runs on the floor. We stay through startup, working alongside your operators and maintenance team until the line runs the way it should.
Operator screens that are clear under pressure, with alarms that mean something. FactoryTalk View ME and SE, Ignition, and Beijer HMI, new builds or upgrades.
VFD integration and parameterization across Allen-Bradley PowerFlex, Yaskawa, and Invertek, controlled over the network instead of hardwired.
EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, IO-Link, OPC UA, and Modbus. Getting devices from different vendors talking to each other reliably.
Intermittent faults, a machine nobody understands anymore, or a line that never quite ran right. We dig into the code and find the cause.
Adding a feature, a new product, or a new station to an existing machine without breaking what already works.
Electrical drawings and panel changes when a project needs them, plus full panel builds through a trusted panel shop partner. You keep one point of contact.
Line changes, new equipment, and troubleshooting for food & beverage, packaging, and CPG plants without a large integrator's overhead.
Our founder spent years as a controls engineer at a packaging equipment OEM. We write machine code, support FATs, and handle customer-site startups.
Overflow programming or a specialist for one piece of a larger project. We work to your standards, templates, and schedule.
From P&IDs to running plant. PLC, HMI, and data systems built together so operators have visibility from day one.
The real test of a PLC program isn't startup day. It's the 2 a.m. fault call two years later.
We write code so the next person, whether that's your technician, another integrator, or us, can open it and understand what's going on.
"Was able to understand and update PLC code for a piece of equipment that he had never seen and had no remote access to or ability to directly test."
"Pivotal in getting our Hydrogen production plant across some instrumentation and controls programming challenges. Exceeded our expectations and would definitely work with him again in the future."
"Took on a difficult job in process and succeeded where others had difficulty. I would recommend Jon without hesitation."
The PLC is already collecting production, downtime, and quality data. We can turn it into reports and dashboards your team will actually use, with Ignition, CS Summit, or open tools.
Primarily Allen-Bradley / Rockwell CompactLogix and ControlLogix in Studio 5000. We've also delivered projects on CODESYS-based platforms, including Beckhoff TwinCAT and Beijer Electronics PLCs and HMIs, as well as AutomationDirect PLCs and HMIs, Keyence PLCs, and Unitronics PLCs. If you're running something else, ask. We'll tell you straight whether it's a fit.
Yes, and it's a big part of what we do. We regularly pick up existing programs with little or no documentation, figure out how they work, and make changes without disrupting production.
Yes. We support integration firms and machine builders that need extra programming capacity or a specialist for part of a project. We work to your standards and templates, and the customer relationship stays yours.
Yes. We're based in Appleton, WI, and travel for on-site commissioning and startups across the United States. Remote support is also a regular part of our work, from programming and troubleshooting to full remote commissioning when site access allows.
Our focus is programming and commissioning. When a project needs electrical drawings or panel modifications, we handle them as part of the job. For full panel builds, we work with a trusted panel shop partner, so you still get one point of contact from drawings to startup.
You do. We don't lock routines or use source protection, and you get the final program files and documentation at handoff.
Tell us what you're running and what needs to change. You'll get a straight answer on whether we're a fit, usually on the first call.
