What We Do
We design, engineer, program and commission Siemens control systems — primarily PCS7, TIA Portal, Step 7 and WinCC — for the mining and minerals processing industry. That covers everything from a blank control philosophy document through to a fully commissioned running plant, on-site or remotely. We also support and upgrade existing systems.
