Industrial automation. Energy monitoring.
PLC and SCADA engineering for industrial facilities, plus MeterSight software for electrical submetering, tenant billing, breaker usage and power monitoring.
See exactly what every meter is doing.
kWh, demand and cost by breaker, tenant or department, from meters you already have. Runs on a Windows PC in your building, or hosted.
Platforms we work on every week
MeterSight: kWh, submetering and breaker usage.
Most buildings already have kWh meters. Very few can say what each tenant, department or line actually used last month, or what it cost. MeterSight Bronze reads those meters, keeps the history, and turns it into allocation statements and usage reports. On a Windows machine in your building, or hosted, your choice.
- kWh and demand at 15 minute intervals, read over Modbus TCP from the meters already in your switchgear, Socomec, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Janitza and others.
- Allocation for tenant billing. Assign meters to suites, tenants or departments and see who used what over any period.
- Cost from a blended rate. Set your average price per kWh and Bronze applies it. An estimate to bill and budget against, not a copy of your utility invoice.
- On premise or hosted. Run it on your own Windows machine, or let us host it and handle the data. Both are available on every package.
Free to download. Request a 7‑day trial key to run it against live meters, we send keys by email, usually the same business day.

Tell us what you are trying to see and we will send a key to your inbox, along with a short note on how to point MeterSight at your meters.
We solve industrial problems.
Most of our projects start the same way: someone describes something in their plant that should not be happening. Sometimes the answer is code. Sometimes it is a meter, a network drawing, or an afternoon with a multimeter. We are engineers first and a controls vendor second.
Industrial Automation
New control systems, upgrades and migrations for process and machine control. We write the logic, commission it on your floor and hand you the documentation.
Energy Monitoring
Know exactly how much electricity your facility uses, where it goes and what it costs. Historical trends, dashboards, PDF reports and CSV export.
Power Monitoring
Live electrical conditions, kW, voltage, current, frequency and power factor, streamed from your meters into one screen.
Chinese Machine Support
Imported equipment with no manufacturer support, thin documentation and parts you cannot source. Tell us about the machine and we will give you an honest answer.
Two different questions. Two different answers.
People use these words interchangeably. Your utility bill does not. Understanding the difference is the first step in controlling what you pay.
How much electricity have you used?
Energy adds up over time. It is what appears on your invoice, what you compare month over month, and what you allocate to a tenant, a department or a production line.
How much electricity are you using right now?
Power is a rate. It changes second to second as motors start, ovens cycle and shifts change. It drives demand charges, sizing decisions and most nuisance trips.
The work behind the systems.
Every platform we deliver is built on the same fundamentals. These are the things we do day to day, whether they are part of a full project or a single afternoon on site.
PLC Programming
Ladder, function block and structured text on Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Opto 22 and Wago. New builds, upgrades and logic changes to running systems.
SCADA
Ignition architecture done properly: tag structure, historian configuration, alarming, security and redundancy that survives a plant expansion.
HMI Development
Operator screens designed around what the operator needs to decide, not around what the PLC happens to expose.
PLC Troubleshooting
A line is down and nobody knows why. We find the fault, logic, I/O, network or field device, and get you running.
Industrial Networking
EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, Profinet and serial. Switch configuration, VLAN segmentation and the cable documentation that should have existed already.
Reports & Data
Scheduled PDF summaries and raw CSV export, generated from your historian so the numbers match what the meters actually recorded.
Bought a machine overseas? We will take a look.
Manufacturer stopped answering. Manuals are half translated. The HMI is in Chinese and the drive faults with a code that appears in no document you own.
- We cannot promise we can fix every machine. Nobody honestly can.
- We can look at it, tell you what we find, and tell you plainly whether we think we can help.
- PLC and HMI troubleshooting, servo and VFD faults, Modbus mapping, reverse engineering and part identification.
- Remote diagnosis first where possible, it is faster and cheaper than a truck roll.
What an honest evaluation sounds like
“The PLC is a Chinese clone of a Mitsubishi FX3U. We can read the program and we can change it. The servo drives are a brand we have not seen before, but they speak Modbus RTU and the parameter list is recoverable. The HMI is proprietary and we would recommend replacing it rather than trying to edit it.”
“Estimated two days on site. If the servo drives turn out to be locked, we will stop and tell you before spending more of your money.”
Your data, on paper, on time.
Dashboards are for the people watching. Reports are for everyone else, finance, compliance, tenants and the person who asks what changed last quarter.
- PDF generation for monthly summaries, tenant statements and demand reviews.
- CSV export of raw interval data, so your team can take it anywhere.
- Filter by meter, area, date range or production line.
- Numbers come from your historian, so a report and a dashboard never disagree.
