Commissioning and Startup

On-site commissioning and startup – this is the core of who we are. Since 2007, we have commissioned controls projects for manufacturers and system integrators in lighting control, materials handling, and mission critical facilities. Our team of over 200 engineers are full-time with ProAutomated. We are not a staffing or recruiting agency.

Our team receives extensive training at our Newark, Delaware training facility. This training includes not only the technical skills needed to succeed in our industries, but also the soft skills — the customer service, project management, escalation management, and social engineering needed to succeed on-site.

From I/O checkouts to controls commissioning to PLC debugging to acceptance testing to go-live support, we are your on-site engineering team. We integrate directly with your engineers to help you get your projects implemented on-time and to allow your team of controls engineers to move on to their next project.

Site Management

Our team of Site Construction Managers manage and coordinate large construction projects on-site. We report directly to your project manager. We act as your eyes and ears on-site — representing you — while we monitor, report, and document your project during its installation and implementation phases.

As Site Managers, we are responsible for the day-to-day running of your project. We hold daily meetings, coordinate with the trades on-site, assess site readiness, redirect workflows as necessary, liaison with the end user on-site, document and escalate issues, and keep you informed with a daily report of your site progress. Our job is to make sure your project is implemented on-time, with the highest quality, within scope, and on-budget.

Design

ProAutomated offers design and layout services for control systems primarily using AutoCAD. Our services include system specification, device and panel layout, control schematics, networking, and installation details. Our team works closely under the direction of your project lead to design the system, prepare schematics, create the bill of materials, generate CAD drawings, and update as-builts at project completion.

Programming

We can supplement your controls engineering team with sprint capacity for PLC programming services. We can work fully independently or integrate directly with your team as needed. Our engineers are skilled at system design and programming for controls systems in the materials handling and mission critical industries.

Project Management

ProAutomated offers off-site project management services to our customers. Our Project Managers specialize in remote project management – keeping your project on-time and on-budget. We manage product delivery, install, delays, change orders, and customer turnover. Our goal is to keep your project running efficiently to save you time, money, and frustration.


Onsite Lifecycle Support of a complex system

Lifecycle Support

With our team located all over North America, we can coordinate and implement lifecycle support services and service contract fulfillment. We are anywhere local – with engineers located within a 2-hour drive of 80% of the US population. We troubleshoot and diagnose issues, order parts, and fix the problem – while on-site. We will provide a full report on the issue and work directly with the end user to make sure their expectations are exceeded every time they work with your system.
