Beyond Integration.
Real Engineering.

Controls & Automation is the operational backbone of any industrial facility. We design and implement control systems that make your machines smarter, your processes more reliable, and your operators more effective — from a single machine to an entire plant.

ECON Tech's automation engineers bring 27+ years of experience across steel, automotive, food & beverage, oil & gas, and mining. We work with every major PLC and DCS platform — and we specialize in migrating legacy systems to modern architectures without disrupting production.

Nine Capabilities. One Integrated Team.

From concept to commissioning — our automation engineers deliver every layer of industrial control, from field devices to enterprise connectivity.

PLC Engineering & Programming

Complete PLC system design, programming, and commissioning across all major platforms. From functional specification to factory acceptance testing — we deliver reliable, maintainable control logic built to your process requirements.

  • Ladder, FBD, STL, and structured text programming
  • Functional design specification (FDS) and factory acceptance testing (FAT)
  • Multi-brand: Siemens S7, Allen-Bradley, Schneider M340/M580
  • Full documentation: P&ID, electrical drawings, wiring diagrams

DCS Integration & Configuration

Distributed control system engineering for continuous process industries. We design, configure, and optimize DCS architectures that deliver precise, stable process control across complex multi-loop operations.

  • Emerson DeltaV, Honeywell Experion, Yokogawa CENTUM, ABB 800xA
  • PID loop tuning and advanced process control integration
  • DCS migration from legacy systems with zero process interruption
  • Alarm rationalization and operator console design

SCADA & HMI Development

Intuitive, operator-centric SCADA and HMI interfaces built on Ignition, WinCC, and FactoryTalk. We design screens that reduce operator error, surface the right information at the right time, and comply with ISA-101 HMI design standards.

  • Ignition SCADA — Premier Integrator certified
  • Siemens WinCC and TIA Portal HMI development
  • ISA-101 HMI design standards and alarm management
  • Mobile and web-based operator interfaces

Legacy System Migration

We specialize in migrating end-of-life PLC and DCS systems to modern platforms — preserving your control logic, minimizing changeover downtime, and unlocking new connectivity and diagnostics capabilities your legacy system could never provide.

  • End-of-life PLC assessment and migration roadmap
  • Logic conversion with functional equivalence validation
  • Cutover planning to minimize production downtime
  • Siemens S5/S7-300 → S7-1500, AB SLC/PLC5 → ControlLogix

Electrical Panel Design & Build

In-house design and fabrication of control panels, MCC sections, and junction boxes to IEC and NEC standards. Every panel is engineered, built, tested, and documented before it leaves our facility.

  • Full electrical engineering: schematics, BOM, and layout
  • IEC 61439 and NEC-compliant panel fabrication
  • Factory acceptance testing (FAT) before shipment
  • UL listing and CE marking available on request

Field Instrumentation & Commissioning

Selection, installation, calibration, and loop commissioning of process instruments across all measurement types. We verify every signal from field to control room — leaving nothing to assumption.

  • Instrument selection: flow, pressure, temperature, level, and analytical
  • Loop calibration and SAT (site acceptance testing)
  • HART, Profibus PA, and Foundation Fieldbus integration
  • Instrument index and calibration documentation

Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS)

Design and implementation of functional safety systems per IEC 61511 / IEC 61508. We perform HAZOP reviews, SIL determination, SIS design, and verification — ensuring your safety layers perform when it matters most.

  • HAZOP facilitation and SIL determination studies
  • Safety PLC programming: Siemens S7 F, Rockwell GuardLogix
  • SIL 1 / SIL 2 system design and verification
  • Safety lifecycle management and periodic proof testing

Remote Monitoring & Industrial IoT

Connect remote assets, distributed plants, and field equipment to a centralized monitoring platform. Edge devices, secure VPN tunneling, and cloud-ready architectures — so you always know what's happening, wherever it's happening.

  • Edge computing and IoT gateway deployment
  • Secure remote access via VPN and encrypted tunnels
  • OPC-UA / MQTT connectivity to cloud and on-premise historians
  • Multi-site centralized monitoring dashboards

Alarm Management System

A structured alarm management program built on the ISA 18.2 standard — from alarm philosophy definition to rationalization, prioritization, and ongoing performance monitoring. We reduce alarm flood, improve operator response, and turn your alarm system into a reliable safety and productivity tool.

  • Alarm philosophy and master alarm database per ISA 18.2
  • Alarm rationalization: priority, setpoints, and consequence analysis
  • Alarm flood analysis and suppression logic design
  • KPI reporting: standing alarms, chattering, stale, and alarm rate
