FAQās
What does a control systems and automation company do?
A control systems and automation company designs, manufactures and supports the electrical and software systems used to monitor, control and optimise industrial processes. This includes motor control centres (MCCs), control panels, PLCs, SCADA systems, telemetry and systems integration.
We deliver complete control and automation solutions for the water, wastewater, industrial and manufacturing sectors.
What is a Motor Control Centre (MCC)?
A Motor Control Centre (MCC) is a centralised system that controls, protects and monitors motors and electrical equipment.
MCCs are commonly used in water treatment works, pumping stations and industrial facilities to manage pumps, blowers and process equipment.
What is systems integration?
Systems integration is the process of connecting electrical, automation and software systems so they work together as a single operational platform. This may include integrating SCADA, PLC, HMI, telemetry and power distribution systems.
What are SCADA systems used for in water treatment?
SCADA systems provide real-time monitoring and control of water and wastewater assets, helping operators improve visibility, efficiency and performance. SCADA software collects operational data, generates alarms and supports decision-making across treatment works and pumping stations.
What is low-voltage (LV) switchgear?
Low-voltage switchgear is equipment used to distribute, control and protect electrical power systems. It plays a critical role in maintaining safe and reliable operation of treatment works, process plants and industrial facilities.
How does DfMA reduce project costs and installation time?
Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) reduces on-site construction by manufacturing and assembling systems in factory-controlled conditions. This improves quality, reduces safety risks, shortens installation programmes and helps projects meet critical delivery milestones.
