Questions we are asked

Can you take over a PLC system another contractor wrote?

Yes. We read the existing programme, document it, and either maintain it or migrate it to a supported platform.

Do you build the control panel as well?

Yes — design, wiring, testing and commissioning, including the motor control gear inside it.

Can you migrate an obsolete controller?

That is routine work: we map the I/O and logic and move it to a current platform with minimal downtime.
