Industrial automation & electrical engineering

Industrial automation built around your operation

TTW Industrial Automation designs, integrates and supports control and electrical systems for industrial facilities. From PLC programming and control panels to commissioning and system support, we help clients put practical engineering solutions to work.

What we do

Control, electrical and connected systems

We work across the full automation lifecycle, from system design and equipment selection to installation, commissioning, upgrades and operator training.

Automation and Control

Control systems designed around your process, then programmed, integrated and tested.

  • Automation system design and integration
  • PLC design and programming
  • HMI development
  • SCADA systems
  • Industrial control and instrumentation

About TTW Industrial Automation

Engineering that starts with the realities of your site

TTW Industrial Automation works with clients to understand their processes and operational challenges before designing and implementing automation and electrical systems. Its services cover the full project lifecycle, from engineering and integration to commissioning, maintenance and training.

Our work covers both new automation systems and improvements to operations already in service.

New automation systems

Systems designed and built for a new process or facility.

Improvements to existing operations

Upgrades and support for systems already in service.

Automation and control engineering, from system design through to commissioning and support.

How we work

From site survey to support

The sequence below is how our projects generally progress. The scope of each step depends on your site, your existing system and what you need the automation to achieve.

01

Understand the operation

We look at how the process actually runs, what the existing system does and where the constraints are.

02

Design the solution

We define the control philosophy, select equipment and prepare the electrical and control design.

03

Integrate and commission

Panels, field devices and software are installed, programmed and brought into service on site.

04

Support and improve

We stay involved through maintenance, system upgrades and training for your operators and maintenance team.

How we operate

The principles we work to

Safety first

Work on live industrial plant is planned around safety as the first consideration, not an afterthought.

Straight answers

We tell clients what their system needs and what it does not — including where a simpler solution will do the job.

Built to be maintained

Systems we design with maintenance in mind, so your own team can work with them after commissioning.
