Frequently asked questions

Can I engage Metromotion Controls for one service or a full project?

Both. We take on single-scope work such as PLC programming, a control panel design or a commissioning support package, as well as full turnkey delivery from P&ID review through electrical design, programming, FAT, SAT and handover.

Do you work with our existing PLC and SCADA platforms?

Yes. We work across Rockwell, Siemens, Ignition, AVEVA, Citect, Schneider and Omron, and design around your installed base rather than forcing a platform change. Where there is no existing standard, we recommend one based on your site and support model.

How does a typical engagement start?

Most engagements start with a site assessment of the installed controls, production constraints, drawings and support risks. From there we scope deliverables, exclusions, acceptance checks and timing before any work begins.

Do you provide ongoing support after a project?

Yes. We offer support contracts, planned maintenance, remote and onsite fault response and continuous improvement work. Around 80% of our work comes from existing clients we continue to support after go-live.
