Your Control System Integration Partner for Plantwide Success

Cybertrol Engineering specializes in designing, implementing, and maintaining plantwide control and information systems that optimize efficiency, enhance productivity, and ensure the seamless operation of industrial processes. Our engineers are experts at selecting and integrating the appropriate hardware and software components to create a cohesive and reliable control system that follows industry-best practices.

Project Management and Consulting Services

Cybertrol’s engineering designs incorporate the entire control and information system, from a single control system to an entire facility and across an organization. Plantwide automation and information integration is always the end-goal, with consideration given to future expansion and scalability. Our project management and consulting services include:

  • Strategy Consulting
  • Front End Engineering & Design (FEED)
  • Project Management
  • Construction Planning

PLC, HMI & SCADA Programming

Plantwide control systems typically involve the integration of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. Programming these components plays a crucial role in developing a comprehensive and effective control system.

Cybertrol uses programming standards to ensure a cohesive and high-quality result. We exercise a modular approach so standardized templates can be utilized as the building blocks and foundation of a robust, flexible, and scalable control system. Our team builds applications that provide tiered data visibility, allowing for high-level operations such as production monitoring down to detailed device monitoring, while also integrating best practice design methods throughout the process.

Control System Migrations and Upgrades

You shouldn’t feel stuck within your legacy control system. We manage large-scale facility assessments and control system upgrades in a controlled, well-planned manner to ensure minimal plant downtime. The process starts by analyzing existing wiring systems and software operations before creating and implementing updated designs to meet the specific needs of your plant. The result is a coordinated integration and construction plan, executed via a seamless transition.

Here is what you can expect from Cybertrol Engineering, when you partner with us for your next plantwide automation project.

Integration Project Planning and Control System Assessments

Project Planning & System Assessments

We work closely with our clients to understand their goals and objectives. We conduct a thorough assessment of the existing processes, equipment, and systems to identify areas for improvement and determine the project’s scope.

Project Requirements Definition and Control System Design

Requirements Definition & System Design

We assist our clients in defining functional and technical requirements for a fully-integrated control system. We collaborate with stakeholders to capture their needs, then translate them into a detailed system design that ensures seamless integration and interoperability across the plant.

Software and Hardware Vendor and Technology Selection

Vendor & Technology Selection

Based on project requirements, we help our clients select the appropriate vendors and technologies for their control system. We make recommendations based on available options and factors such as scalability, compatibility, performance, and long-term sustainability.

Control and Information System Integration Planning

Control & Information System Integration Planning

We will develop an integration plan that outlines how the different control and information systems will be interconnected within the plant. This plan will consider data flow, communication protocols, hardware compatibility, and software interfaces to ensure a cohesive, efficient system.

Control System Integration Project Execution and Coordination

Project Execution & Coordination

Cybertrol will take charge of project execution, coordinating tasks including system installation, configuration, programming, and testing. We work closely with vendors, contractors, and design firms to ensure smooth implementation and minimize disruptions to plant operations.

Comprehensive Risk Management for Control Systems

Comprehensive Risk Management

Throughout a project, we will identify and mitigate potential risks and challenges. We develop contingency plans, monitor project progress, and proactively address any issues that may arise, ensuring the project stays on track and within budget.

System Integration Commissioning and Startup

Control System Commissioning & Startup

We will oversee the commissioning and startup process, conducting thorough testing to ensure the automation and information systems function as intended. We will work with plant personnel to train operators and ensure a smooth transition to the new systems.

Control System Optimization and Continuous Improvement

Optimization & Continuous Improvement

After the initial implementation, we will continue to monitor and optimize the performance of our automation and information systems. We will analyze data, identify areas for improvement, and implement enhancements to maximize efficiency, productivity, and reliability.

Testimonials

Just wanted to reach out and let you know that your team has done an outstanding job on the project. In fact, they have done so well, so fast, that they will wrap up the project early. They worked their way through the panel/enclosure assemblies way more quickly than I anticipated. It worked out VERY well and I’ll definitely keep you guys in mind as we move through the spring. We’ve got more projects coming through, but we’re just not ready yet for any additional resources. Thanks again!! "
