PLC Upgrade & Migration Services — Modernize Your Control System in Cincinnati

Seamless PLC migration from obsolete to current-generation systems — same brand or cross-platform. We can assist in upgrading your PLC system, and we have performed many upgrades for a variety of situations.

What We Upgrade

Obsolete, Unsupported, or Simply Outdated — We Bring You Current

Same Manufacturer, New Generation

Replace a PLC with a newer version from the same manufacturer — modern hardware, converted logic, minimal process disruption.

Cross-Platform Migration

Replace a PLC with a newer version from a different manufacturer when the new platform better fits your plant's future.

DCS to PLC

Replace a DCS-controlled system with a PLC — proven in real plants, including Foxboro DCS systems migrated to GE RX3i.

PC-Controlled to PLC

Replace a PC-controlled system with a PLC — for example, QBASIC-based controls migrated to Allen-Bradley RSLogix.
