New builds, multi-site architecture, SCADA/MES/ERP integration, and the systems nobody can fully explain any more. Built and rescued by engineers who helped build the platform.
Most of our work is the whole system or a large piece of it: projects that run for months, often across sites, and end with something commissioned, documented and running.
New Ignition systems and full platform replacements, from architecture through commissioning and handover. The engineer who scoped it is the one there at startup.
Architecture → build → commissioning → handover
Most of what we do. Senior Ignition engineers inside your project, to your standards and schedule. Your system stays yours.
Embedded senior engineers · Your standards · Your backlog
The MES layer, the ERP interface, the multi-site rollout, the migration off an aging platform. When the hard part is why the project is stuck, that's usually when we get the call.
MES · ERP integration · Multi-site · Migrations
From one stalled project to a platform nobody can account for. We come in cold, find out where it stands, and take it from there.
Triage → stabilize → complete · Any scale · Whoever built it
Three defined engagements: a low-risk way to put senior engineers on your system before committing to anything bigger. Each ends in a written result you own, with no obligation to use us for what follows.
Plan a new system, expansion, migration or multi-site rollout before development speeds up.
A free Machine Risk Inspection of your gateway: send one backup, get every risk we found, ranked by severity and rated for effort to fix, in five business days.
When a free MRI isn't enough: triage with your people, a risk map and a sequenced, costed plan, in one to two weeks.

Every plant floor produces more information than anyone can read by hand. We turn it into the answers you run the business on.
Spot the failure pattern before the line stops, so maintenance happens on your schedule.
Find the hidden hours in equipment you already own.
Trace defects back to the process conditions that caused them.
One live view across cells, lines, and sites. The number is the same on the floor and at HQ.
Ask your operation a plain-English question and get an answer from your real data.
Connect SCADA, MES, and ERP so the floor and the office agree on one truth.
After a Foundry 4.0 session at CastExpo, owner Mark Soucie asked Artek what a data-driven foundry would take. Artek scoped the infrastructure; once Ferroloy had it in place, the build moved fast. The targets set at kickoff, and since reached:
TARGETS SET AT KICKOFF · CONFIRMED REACHED BY FERROLOY’S OWNER, 2026
We use AI to build faster and to find insight in your data. A senior engineer designs, reviews, tests, and commissions everything that touches live equipment.
What we deploy is the same predictable Ignition logic it has always been. Reads first, writes gated, nothing autonomous touching live equipment. You get modern speed with an engineer who signs the commissioning report.
Reputation grows when you give in the open. It's why we've won the Exchange Challenge twice, and why our tools are free.

Three of our team, both owners included, came from Inductive Automation. We hold Premier Integrator status. We've proven it in the places other integrators avoid: foundries, water, data centers, and the truly complex systems.
No borrowed logos, no anonymous quotes. Things you can verify before you call.
Talk to an engineer. Twenty minutes, and you'll know the honest next step, even if it isn't us.
