INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION
Through the CONTROLOGIC CAD spin-off, automated system diagrams are developed, including sensors, actuators, control architecture, and control logic. Electronic schematics, control diagrams, and functional as-built documentation are produced for integration into industrial environments such as Oil & Gas, chemical processing, cosmetics, wastewater treatment, and food manufacturing.
