INTEGRATION & COMPATIBILITY
Working With What You Have
Integration Capabilities
Mechanical-Electrical Coordination
Pumps, fans, compressors, and process equipment all need to work together. We make sure they do.
Legacy System Integration
We integrate modern controls with your existing equipment, preserving your investments while adding the capabilities you need.
Enterprise Connectivity
Need production data in the office? Remote monitoring? Historical trending? We provide the level of connectivity that makes sense for your operations.
Equipment We Work With
We design systems using all major equipment technologies and maintain established partnerships with leading manufacturers to deliver solutions tailored to your facility's requirements.
WHY TDC AUTOMATION
What Makes Our Automation Different
Real-world experience meets practical automation for solutions that work in your facility.
Field Experience
We've commissioned these systems in real facilities. Our designs account for maintenance access, troubleshooting needs, and operational realities.
Open Systems
No proprietary lock-ins. We design systems you can maintain, modify, and expand with any qualified contractor.
Right-Term Planning
We understand business needs are different. Whether you need a system that will run for decades or a bridge solution until next year's upgrade, we help you plan accordingly.
OUR APPROACH
How We Develop Control Systems
Every automation project is different. Some need detailed planning and phased implementation. Others need quick solutions to immediate problems. We adapt our approach to your situation.
The depth of each phase depends on your project complexity and requirements.
