Floor walk first.
Start with a working session or floor walk to understand the equipment, requirements, and production constraints.
// ABOUT HILLPOINT //
Controls and OT systems integration, built around your operation.
HillPoint Automation serves aerospace and defense manufacturers, water and wastewater utilities, and food, beverage, and general manufacturers. Remote engineering and on-site delivery bring the work to your operation, wherever your project requires.
// WHAT HILLPOINT DOES //
HillPoint builds the data layer underneath the MES and SCADA: PLCs, test stands, historians, and operator screens wired into one architecture on Ignition, MQTT Sparkplug B, and a Unified Namespace. Controls modernization moves plants off obsolete control systems with cutovers planned around production. The industries change, the missing layer doesn't: aerospace and defense, water and wastewater, food and beverage and general manufacturing.
// HOW THE WORK RUNS //
02
Fixed fee, scoped in writing.
The scope, pricing model, and deliverables are agreed before the work starts.
03
Engineering-led delivery.
Discovery findings become defined requirements, responsibilities, and acceptance criteria. Engineering decisions stay connected to the operating requirements throughout delivery.
04
Sequenced around production.
Migrations run around your production schedule, with a tested cutover and a rollback plan written before anything gets touched.
// EXPERIENCE & CREDENTIALS //

// PROJECT ACCOUNTABILITY //
Clear responsibilities from scope to handover.
HillPoint projects begin with agreed deliverables, responsibilities, and acceptance criteria. Design reviews, testing, and commissioning are planned around your operation. Handover includes the agreed project files, documentation, and support arrangements so your business can maintain the system after delivery.
// PROJECT INQUIRIES //
