Wire the floor to the systems above it.
PLCs, test stands, packaging lines, and lift stations unified into one data backbone. Ignition, MQTT Sparkplug B, and a Unified Namespace, built the way auditors want to see it.
INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION · CONTROL SYSTEM INTEGRATOR · SPACE COAST FL
Your MES can't see the shop floor. Your SCADA can't see half the plant. We wire the layer underneath.
HillPoint Automation builds the data layer beneath the systems you already own. PLCs, test stands, lift stations, and legacy panels wired into one backbone your MES, your SCADA, and your auditors can actually read. So you can modernize without stopping the line.
Worth a 15-minute call?You get an engineer on the phone. No pitch, no deck.
// RECENT WORK //
SCADA firmware, backup, and disaster recovery for the City of Ocala. Alarm rationalization and Level 2 integration at Tropicana. Controls support for TNT Supplements and Momentive, neither of which has a controls engineer on staff.
// WHAT HILLPOINT ACTUALLY DELIVERS //
Three outcomes. Not a menu of services.
Make the audit a walkthrough, not a fire drill.
AS9100, FDEP, SQF. Which unit, run by which operator, at what parameters. Answered in under 60 seconds from a live query, not from a clipboard or a senior tech's memory.
Retire the shadow factory.
Operators keep parallel Excel spreadsheets because the official system doesn't surface what they need. Fix the layer underneath and the spreadsheets die on their own. The real numbers live in the system, not in a workbook on somebody's desktop.
// WHO THIS IS FOR //
Same layer. Different floor.
Pick the one that looks like yours.
AEROSPACE & DEFENSE
You didn't buy the wrong MES. You bought it before you built the thing it was supposed to read from. Traceability lives in spreadsheets and the heads of two senior techs, the next AS9100 audit is already on the calendar, and when you push rate, the line breaks in places the dashboard never showed you.

Your plant runs on PLCs nobody makes parts for, programmed by someone who retired. One failed processor is days down, not a parts swap. And the SCADA that was built for uptime is now internet-reachable, right as EPA and FDEP start checking.

The integrator who built your system is gone, and the backups and drawings went with them. Downtime hides in short stops and slow cycles that never make the logbook. The legacy license bill climbs every year on a platform that's already end-of-life, and there's no controls engineer on staff to fix any of it.

No proposal until we've stood on your floor.
01
STEP / 01
Walk the floor.
We come walk the line and open the panels. Free, and we'll diagnose out loud while we walk. If we don't see a problem worth fixing, we'll tell you that and leave.
02
STEP / 02
Fix one thing.
A small fixed-scope, fixed-fee project your team can point to. A program backup pass, a downtime dashboard, one migration. Small enough to approve without a committee.
03
STEP / 03
Then decide.
If the first project earns it, we scope the next phase. Defined scope, fixed fee, sequenced around your production schedule with a tested cutover and a rollback plan.

// ONE WAY TO START //
What's the problem on your floor?
Fifteen minutes on the phone with an engineer, not a sales rep running a discovery script. Tell us what's breaking, or what's about to get audited. If we can help, we'll tell you how we'd start. If we can't, we'll say so and point you at someone who can.
