PLC / SCADA Engineering

Applied Integration delivers robust PLC and SCADA solutions that keep your operations safe, available and efficient. From small stand-alone machines to site-wide control systems, we design, program and integrate multi-vendor platforms so they work as one dependable system.

Overview

Applied Integration engineers, upgrades and supports PLC and SCADA systems that keep your production safe, available and efficient. We work across multiple vendor platforms to design, program and integrate control systems that are robust, maintainable and ready for future expansion.

  • Single machines to plant-wide control and visualisation
  • New builds, migrations and upgrades of legacy platforms
  • Integration with drives, safety, field devices, MES and business systems
