Direct Automation has commissioned systems migration projects on multiple platforms throughout the United States. Our highly experienced staff can optimize PLC, SCADA, and DCS systems in nearly any platform.

A Systems Migration is upgrading a legacy or installed control system to a current system while preserving as much of the intellectual properties as possible from the legacy system, leveraging the capabilities of the new system, minimizing the impact on operations, minimizing cost, and enabling future business value.

With Direct Automation the benefit is far beyond the common approach to upgrade the control system. The solution must have a larger impact on overall operational efficiency. The right technology demands a more sophisticated approach. We design and implement better solutions for the collection of data and ensure data security. Keeping data secure in the real world it is now more important than ever.
