About Programmable Control Systems
PCS has been serving manufacturers since 2005, with more than two decades of hands-on experience designing, building, commissioning, and supporting industrial automation systems.
We bring software, control design, automation equipment, and product testing together in one practical engineering organization—from initial concept through installation, commissioning, and ongoing production support.
Our capabilities
Our vertically integrated approach keeps mechanical design, electrical and controls engineering, custom software development, manufacturing, machine assembly, control-panel building, testing, and field support together in-house.
These capabilities are also available independently. PCS provides custom software development, control design, and panel building for manufacturers that require specialized expertise or additional engineering and production capacity.
Whether supporting one portion of a project or delivering the complete system, each discipline is developed in coordination so the finished equipment performs as one integrated production system.
Maintainable PLC, HMI, motion, robotics, vision, database, and electrical control solutions developed around the production process.
Purpose-built machinery and integrated robotic systems engineered around production rate, safe operation, product variation, and long-term serviceability.
End-of-line equipment that verifies electrical, diagnostic, mechanical, acoustic, seat, and safety-system performance while preserving production records.
Specialized controls, software, and panel-building services for equipment manufacturers that need additional engineering expertise or production capacity.
The four C's
PCS works alongside the customer at every stage—from developing the initial concept and completing the design through manufacturing, assembly, installation, and commissioning on the production floor.
Clarify the purpose, production requirements, cycle time, interfaces, risks, and acceptance criteria.
Develop the mechanical, electrical, controls, software, robotics, and safety solution as one system.
Build, program, integrate, and test the complete system under controlled conditions.
Install, validate with production, train the team, and support the launch.
Project examples
These examples show how PCS combines controls, equipment, testing, and production knowledge for different manufacturing needs.
Electrical · Functional · Diagnostic
Production test systems combining electrical, functional, diagnostic, safety-circuit, data, and traceability capabilities.
Handling · Assembly · Safety
Integrated robotic systems for material handling, machine tending, assembly, test loading, and coordinated production operations.
Machines · Fixtures · Retrofits
Purpose-built machines, fixtures, tooling, handling systems, and equipment upgrades developed around the production requirement.
PLC · HMI · Data
PLC, HMI, motion, vision, database, reporting, and traceability solutions integrated with the equipment and production process.
Why PCS
Good automation must be understandable, recoverable, maintainable, and supported for years—not merely able to run during the initial demonstration.
Clear diagnostics, sensible recovery, and maintainable hardware and software.
Risk, access, controls architecture, and production needs developed together.
Capability spanning panels, controls, robotics, test electronics, and traceability.
Direct technical involvement from proposal through commissioning and support.
