Industrial Automation Systems Integrator in Akron, Ohio
Controls, panels, SCADA and 24-hour support for Ohio plants and water utilities.
As an industrial automation systems integrator, we design, build, and support the controls that run Ohio plants and water utilities. We fit the system to your process and your team, not the other way around.
Pro-Tech Systems Group (PTSG) works from 123 E. Waterloo Rd. in Akron, Ohio. We have been in business since 1986, and we support water, wastewater, and industrial sites with practical design and responsive service.
What an industrial automation systems integrator does
A PLC system integrator connects your equipment, instruments, and software so your plant runs as one system. We review how you work now, design the controls, build the panels, write the programs, install and test the system, and train your operators. We also link networks and SCADA screens so operators can see what is happening and act fast. As a process control system integrator, we stay available for support after startup.
What we integrate
1. PLC programming and control panels
We program PLCs and build control panels in our UL 508 approved panel shop in Akron, from a single PLC to a large distributed control system. We work on Rockwell Automation, Siemens, Schneider Electric, ABB, Honeywell, Yokogawa, and WAGO. See our PLC and DCS control systems.
2. SCADA and HMI software
We build and support SCADA and HMI screens on Inductive Automation Ignition, VTScada, and Rockwell FactoryTalk, with high-performance design that follows ISA-101. Operators see the whole system from one place. See our SCADA systems and water and wastewater automation.
3. Telemetry, instrumentation, and plant data
Radio, cellular, spread spectrum, and SATCOM links connect remote sites to your SCADA. Field instrumentation and IIoT connections feed your controls with plant data. See our network telemetry work.
