Integrated automation solutions
Automation & Control
We design, develop and deploy control systems that are fully tested, validated and serviceable by your own people, with architectures anchored in business value.
Overview
Logical Systems brings a broad array of skills and experience to help companies achieve their process control, instrumentation and plant automation goals. Our hardware and software solutions are designed with operators, maintenance teams, engineers and factory managers in mind, and we take the time to understand your process before any formal engagement.
We implement the most suitable PLC, DCS, SCADA, SIS, IIoT, MES, workflow, batch and ERP integration solutions using best-fit, off-the-shelf industrial products. Our platform-agnostic framework of reusable, unit-tested and field-proven libraries lets us deploy rapidly and cost-effectively, even in highly regulated or complex environments.
Our experience spans the full manufacturing lifecycle, from raw material reception through processing and packaging to warehousing. We work with all major PLC, DCS, SCADA and SIS platforms, including legacy systems, so we can protect your previous investments while preparing for future scalability.
