Process control screens monitoring a production environment

Core services // What we do

Automation support from device-level work to plant-wide systems

Six service areas across the modern controls stack. Platform-capable across Rockwell, Siemens, Ignition, Grafana, Node-RED, PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB, and the rest of what plants actually run on. Solution-focused, not vendor-locked.

Each service, what it covers, when to call about it

Every service runs the full arc from initial scope through commissioning and long-term support. The summaries below are the headline; tap any service for the full breakdown.

Industrial electrical control panel with wiring and components

SVC-01 // Service area

PLC Programming & Controls

Programmable Logic Controllers run the machinery. We write, debug, upgrade, and standardize PLC code across the platforms your plant actually uses, with documentation your maintenance team can read at 2am.

Greenfield PLC development for new equipment and production lines
Brownfield upgrades and platform migrations (Rockwell to Siemens, legacy to modern)
Sequencing, recipe management, and batch control logic
Safety-related programming aligned with the relevant standards

Operator working at an industrial HMI monitor on the factory floor

SVC-02 // Service area

HMI & SCADA Development

If operators do not trust the screen, they go around it. We design Human-Machine Interfaces and Supervisory Control systems that fit the actual workflow on the plant floor, with alarming that matters and reporting that gets read.

Operator-facing HMI screens with clear status, controls, and alarm priorities
Plant-wide SCADA architecture and supervisory data layer
Alarm management strategy and prioritization to reduce nuisance noise
Production reporting, OEE, downtime tracking, and shift handover screens

SVC-03 // Service area

Control Panel Design

Panel work that holds up under maintenance reality. We design control panels around the way they actually get serviced, not just the way they look in a CAD drawing, and we coordinate with panel shops to get the build done right.

Electrical schematics and panel layout drawings
Hardware selection: PLCs, I/O, drives, contactors, power supplies, network gear
Standardization on the manufacturer / part numbers already in use at the customer's plant
VFD integration and motor control center design

Industrial monitoring screen displaying real-time production data

SVC-04 // Service area

Industrial Data Collection

Plant data is only valuable if it answers a question someone is actually asking. We collect, structure, and surface plant-floor data into systems that support real decisions instead of creating yet another silo nobody opens.

PLC-to-database logging with reliable buffering through network blips
Time-series storage tuned for plant-floor data volumes (TimescaleDB, InfluxDB)
Dashboards built for the audience: operators, managers, executives, maintenance
Production records, traceability, and batch genealogy

Industrial network rack with structured cabling and switches

SVC-05 // Service area

Industrial Networking & OT

Plant-floor networks fail differently than office networks. We design and clean up OT networks so equipment talks reliably, segmentation makes sense, and remote access does not become a security incident waiting to happen.

OT network design and segmentation (VLANs, subnets, firewalls)
Industrial protocol expertise: Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP, PROFINET, OPC UA
Managed switch configuration and standardization
Device addressing schemes that hold up as the plant grows

SVC-06 // Service area

Troubleshooting & Commissioning

Equipment is down. Production is hemorrhaging money. We show up, find the root cause, and get the line running again, then help make sure it does not happen the same way next month.

On-site troubleshooting for controls, electrical, mechanical, and process issues
New equipment commissioning and startup
Drive, sensor, and instrumentation diagnostics
Process bottleneck identification with the data to back it up

How we work

Controls work is not just code. It is production, maintenance, quality, and business context.

MAK Solutions approaches projects with a full-plant mindset. The goal is not only to make one machine run, but to make systems easier to operate, easier to troubleshoot, easier to maintain, and easier to expand.

That means clean programming standards, practical documentation, thoughtful network design, usable operator interfaces, and data systems that support real decisions instead of creating another island of information.

Understand the process

Learn the equipment, product flow, pain points, operators, maintenance needs, and business goals.

Design for maintainability

Use clear standards, reusable patterns, practical documentation, and logical system structure.

Build with growth in mind

Create controls and data systems that can expand from one machine to a full plant platform.

Industries served

Wide process exposure. Practical problem solving.

MAK Solutions supports industrial customers across manufacturing, processing, material handling, packaging, environmental systems, and plant utilities.
