Controls and Automation for Food & Beverage
We provide controls and automation engineering for food and beverage production facilities — from PLC migrations and packaging line upgrades to robotic cell integration and production data systems. We work across both Siemens and Rockwell platforms, and our approach is built around long-term partnership with the plants we serve.
PLC Migrations & Line Upgrades
Migration of legacy PLC platforms on processing and packaging lines to modern controllers, including new ESA-approved panels, VFD integration, updated safety circuits, and reprogrammed HMI communications — all while preserving existing field wiring and operator workflows.

Safety Upgrades
Packaging Line Automation
Controls engineering for high-speed packaging lines, including line interlock and sequencing improvements, handshake logic between conveyors, metal detectors, scales, and boxing equipment to reduce jams and improve flow control.
