Services
Engineering‑grade control and automation systems with provable reliability—designed, implemented, and commissioned by California licensed Professional Engineers.
Rapid Disaster Recovery
For a large-scale manufacturer, downtime is catastrophic. Following a major disruption like a fire, the clock is ticking. Our team specializes in the rapid assessment, design, and re-commissioning of power and automation systems to get your operations back online—safely and quickly.
Damage Assessment & Triage
- Rapid mobilization
- Identify Minimum Viable Production & Utilities
- Prioritize recovery needs
- Identify long-lead-time items
Phased Restoration Planning
- Outline phased restoration plan
- Define the scope boundaries for critical phases
- WBS & Dependency Mapping
- Critical Path Analysis
Risk, Mitigation & Contingency Planning
- Schedule risks management
- Equipment sourcing delays
- Commissioning delays and unforeseen problems
- Damage to restored or commissioned assets or safety risks (due to increased activity)
Fast-Track Sourcing
- Flag items that can be repaired instead of replaced to shorten critical path
- Facilitate repurposing of low priority assets to support critical restoration
- Mobilize vast network of partners to source long-lead-time equipment
- Global reach
- US & Canada
- Germany
- Spain
- Czech Republic
- Middle East
- Our network spans beyond distributors
- Switchgear manufacturers
- Equipment vendors
- Industrial facilities with potentially viable used equipment
- Global reach
Temporary Power & Controls Integration
- Establish temporary solutions to operate for extended duration reliably and safely until permanent assets are commissioned
- Plan switchover to minimize commissioning downtime and mitigate risks
Final configuration & Long term reliability
- Full system recommission, and restoration of non-mission critical assets
- Redesign for high-availability and reliability
- Documentation
- Training
What you get
- High-availability architectures that remove single points of failure
- Clean documentation: Requirements Specification, I/O lists, narratives & diagrams, test plans, as-builts
- Safe, verified startups: FAT/SAT with rollback paths
- Migration roadmaps that de-risk obsolescence
Service Catalog
- Power Engineering [Power studies; arc-flash; sizing (transformers, generators, motors, switchgear, breakers, etc); feasibility.]
- Power System Controls [designing and upgrading switchgear control systems; protective relay programming & commissioning; Generators control; ATS control] {include: “We specialize in advanced power control schemes – from programming SEL protective relays for arc-flash and overcurrent protection, to automating switchgear operations and load shedding. Our team has hands-on experience with medium-voltage systems (e.g. 2.4 kV distribution with complex breaker line-ups), and we implement generator and ATS controls to ensure seamless power transfer during outages.
- Industrial Controls [PLC, SCADA, HMI, OT Network, Cyber Security, System Integration] {include: “Our industrial control services cover everything from PLC upgrades and program migration to full SCADA/HMI implementation. We can modernize legacy PLCs (e.g., migrating Allen-Bradley PLC-5 to modern platforms) and upgrade operator interfaces using Wonderware or FactoryTalk HMI systems. We also optimize motor control centers – integrating VFDs (variable frequency drives) to improve motor efficiency and control – and implement machine safety systems (light curtains, safety relays) to protect personnel. Importantly, we design controls for hazardous environments, such as combustible dust areas, ensuring all sensors and interlocks meet Class II Div ??(Need to verify right Div classification for combustible dust) requirements.” + “We provide full system integration services – ensuring all components of your automation system communicate flawlessly. Our team integrates disparate PLC brands and SCADA systems via industrial protocols (Ethernet/IP, Modbus, OPC UA, etc.), and we implement gateway devices or protocol converters where needed. We also tie production systems into higher-level MES/ERP systems or cloud platforms, enabling Industry 4.0 capabilities. By bridging old and new technologies, we deliver a cohesive automation ecosystem that improves reliability and visibility.

Our Process
Discovery & Consultation
We begin with a deep dive into your operational challenges, existing systems, and project goals. This critical first step allows us to define a precise scope of work and ensure our solution aligns perfectly with your objectives.
Design & Engineering
Our team develops the detailed system architecture, electrical schematics, and control narratives. This is where we custom-engineer a robust, efficient, and scalable solution tailored to your specific needs.
Implementation & Testing
This is where the plan comes to life. We manage the system build-out, control panel fabrication, software programming, and rigorous testing. We don’t just build it; we ensure it functions flawlessly within your operation.
Handover & Support
We conclude every project with comprehensive documentation, operator training, and as-built drawings. We’re committed to a smooth transition and offer ongoing support to ensure your system delivers long-term value.
