Automation and Control Services


From buildings to wastewater plants, automation control systems simplify processes and create efficiency, reduce bottlenecks, and streamline operations. Through expert design and seamless integration, industrial control and automation impact much more than a company’s industrial processes; they often function as the catalyst that moves a business past its competitors. Sometimes, automation is the only missing factor for success.

At ICA Engineering, we recognize the complexity and significance of a comprehensive automation control system, and we have decades of combined experience designing, programming, and installing industrial and building automation and control systems.

We’ve worked with companies in a variety of industries, and we have experience with all the major suppliers of automation products.

Automation and Control Services We Provide

ICA Engineering provides expert, comprehensive development and integration of automation control systems. We are a control systems integrator located in New Jersey with decades of experience in automation and control engineering.

Our services include:

PLC Programming

From selection to start-up, we provide complete PLC programming services.

Whether you prefer Rockwell or Siemens, Beckhoff or Schneider, we have the expertise and experience to create PLC programs that meet your every need.

Our PLC programs are clearly and concisely written for optimum efficiency for every application. Whether you need machine or process control and no matter your industry, our engineers can develop a solution that streamlines your processes and meets your highest expectations.

Human Machine Interface (HMI) Design

A well-designed HMI is crucial for proper operation and user control. Our team of expert engineers have years of hands-on experience working with these systems, so we understand the need for efficient systems that provide clear, organized displays.

We have experience with HMIs on every platform, including PC-based products as well as Rockwell PanelView and WonderWare (among others).

Most importantly, we’ll consult with your staff throughout development and beyond to ensure the HMI meets your needs now and in the future.

Control Panel Design

We use AutoCAD Electrical to design a control panel, console, or MCC that meets your exact specifications. We can also design control panels to meet UL standards.

We offer a variety of drawing packages that include panel layouts, vendor part numbers, network architecture, and piping and instrumentation diagrams (P and ID).

Our designs are clear and distinct with detailed notes and cross-references.

Systems Integration

We excel at effective systems integration. We can integrate your legacy equipment with the latest upgrades. We work with you during every step of the process, including panel design (network architecture, P and ID drawings, etc.), PLC and HMI programming, SCADA control systems, and start-up services.
