Controls and automation for plants, machines and pump stations.
Newcastle engineers, on site across the Hunter. We design and program control systems, fix them when they stop, and upgrade them when they're old.
Who calls us
Plant and site managers
Something keeps stopping, a screen is dead, or the person who knew the system has left. We find the fault, fix it, and leave a note of what changed.
Installers and contractors
Installers, machine builders and electrical contractors. You deliver the job and we do the controls, under your name if you prefer.
Project managers and owners
A new line, an imported machine, a pump station. We scope it, price it, deliver it, and hand over drawings and a backup you keep.
What people ring us about
Tell us what the machine or the site should do and what it's doing instead. We work out the rest.
Where we fit into your project
- Scope. What it has to do, with a price and exclusions.
- Electrical design. Drawings your panel builder and electrician work from.
- Program and screens. Tested on the bench before site.
- Commissioning. On site with your crew until it runs to the scope.
- Support. Documentation, a backup, and a number to ring.

A Newcastle company, since 2021
Site engineers, software engineers and electrical design. Around forty organisations so far, most of them more than once: councils, a port, water and property operators, process plants, and the installers and contractors who build for them.
Where it suits, we build on our own controller and cloud platform, JasperX.
