We investigate, document, modify, and rebuild the controls and software behind proven industrial equipment. Our work spans HMI and SCADA software, PLC programming and control logic, production operations software, industrial data systems and historians, and the protocols that connect them. No job is too big or too small. Have a project in mind?
Addressing risks across the entire automation stack
We work across the systems that support production, from targeted modifications to full modernization. Whether the system is documented or unknown, we help you determine the right path forward.
Investigating, modifying, recovering, and migrating the control logic behind legacy industrial machines and production systems.
Troubleshooting, modification, recovery, migration, and modernization services for industrial HMI, SCADA, and custom operator interface software.
Recover missing technical knowledge and document industrial software to make its behavior, dependencies, and interactions clear.
Recover, maintain, and migrate industrial data systems to preserve production records, restore collection, and support access to operational information.
Troubleshooting, modification, and integration of industrial communication protocols between controllers, equipment, and software applications.
Troubleshooting, modification, and recovery of industrial applications used for batch management, production tracking, scheduling, and reporting.
We establish how the existing system works, engineer the required changes, thoroughly test them, and put them into production around your operating schedule.
Your request goes directly to engineering. We gather the operating context from the people who use, maintain, and support the system.
We examine the interfaces, logic, data, communications, dependencies, and production constraints that define the system.
We present our findings and practical options. With your input, we agree on the technical boundary and implementation path.
Development and validation happen away from production wherever possible, with clear acceptance and rollback criteria.
We schedule deployment around production, verify the system under real operating conditions, and complete the documentation and handoff.
A mechanically sound machine can run for decades while its operator interface, control logic, database, communications, or supervisory computer becomes the weakest link. Software is seldom built with longevity in mind. What was sensible and secure a decade ago may not be today. The assumptions it was built around naturally change with time.
We started Aftermarket Automation to address this disconnect. When a sensor starts drifting or a valve stops actuating, you don't jump to a full retrofit. When the OEM drops support for your machines, they shouldn't become ticking time bombs. If your change requests are "out of scope", or sales assures you the only path forward is their newest automation package, we can help. We believe that servicing your software should be as straightforward as the hardware.
Our work is built to last. Everything we deliver is well-documented and maintainable. You retain complete ownership. Our goal is to keep your software running as long as your equipment is in service.
