Control & Automation

Complete PLC, SCADA, DCS, VSD & IoT solutions

iEngineering delivers end-to-end industrial automation services – from PLC and HMI programming to SCADA, DCS, Variable Speed Drives and IoT connectivity. We support leading brands across water, power, manufacturing, mining and infrastructure projects.

From panels to plant-wide automation

We help clients specify, engineer and commission control systems that are reliable, maintainable and easy to operate. Our team can support you at any point in the lifecycle – from new projects and brownfield upgrades to troubleshooting and optimisation of existing assets.

  • Vendor-neutral advice with strong Siemens, Allen-Bradley, ABB and Schneider experience.
  • Support for utilities, industry, OEMs and EPCs across Australia, Pacific and Asia.
  • Flexible engagement – from small control panels to full plant automation packages.

PLC – Programmable Logic Controller

Logic control for machines and processes

Design, programming and commissioning of PLC systems for machinery, skids and process units. We follow structured coding standards so your team can maintain and extend the system over time.

  • Siemens, Allen-Bradley, ABB and Schneider PLC platforms.
  • New builds, retrofits, I/O expansions and panel upgrades.
  • FAT, SAT and support during start-up and optimisation.

HMI – Human Machine Interface

Operator visualisation & control

Development of clean, standards-aligned HMI screens that give operators clear situational awareness, diagnostics and control without clutter.

  • Screen layouts, navigation, trends and alarm pop-ups.
  • Faceplates, templates and standard graphics libraries.
  • Role-based access and language/localisation options.

How we deliver your automation project

A structured, collaborative approach – from early scoping through to training and support – reduces surprises on site and keeps risk under control.

  1. 1

    Discover

    Gather P&IDs, single-lines, control narratives, I/O lists and network drawings. Clarify operational constraints and shutdown windows.

  2. 2

    Design

    Define architecture, select platforms, design panels and control strategies, and agree standards for graphics, naming and alarms.

  3. 3

    Build & test

    Develop code and graphics, assemble panels, and perform FAT with your team – resolving issues before equipment goes to site.

  4. 4

    Commission & support

    Site installation, SAT, tuning and handover, followed by training and ongoing support for operations and maintenance teams.
