Industrial Control Systems
Designed, Built, and Secured
Field-ready automation for water, wastewater, and municipal customers — control panel design, PLCs, SCADA, instrumentation, telemetry, and ISA/IEC 62443-aligned OT cybersecurity, delivered by a team that includes licensed Professional Engineers.
Practical automation, engineered to last in the field.
ICS Automated helps customers modernize and maintain critical infrastructure with complete automation solutions — from design through startup. Many of our engineers are licensed Professional Engineers (PEs), and our work is grounded in ISA/IEC 62443 and NIST guidance for OT cybersecurity.
We bridge the gap between engineering design, field wiring, instrumentation, control logic, operator usability, and long-term maintenance.

Comprehensive controls and automation services.
Panel design, programming, SCADA, instrumentation, telemetry, ISA/IEC 62443-aligned cybersecurity, managed services, and emergency support — delivered by one team.
OT cybersecurity, built around ISA/IEC 62443 and the realities of plant operations.
From greenfield architecture to managed endpoint protection, secure remote login, firewall installation, and multi-carrier IoT connectivity — we deliver a sustainable security program for utilities and industrial sites that don't run their own SOC.
ISA/IEC 62443 Alignment
Risk assessments, zone-and-conduit models, and security level targets translated into practical, sustainable controls.
Secure Architecture Design
OT reference architectures — DMZs, jump hosts, segmentation, monitoring — drawn from 62443 and NIST patterns.
Managed Endpoint Protection
EDR and patch posture for SCADA servers, HMIs, and engineering workstations — monitored and reported.
Secure Remote Login
MFA, role-based access, full session logging, and clean revocation for staff, integrators, and OEM vendors.
Firewall Configuration & Install
OT-grade firewalls specified, installed, and configured — IT/OT separation with documented, reviewable rule sets.
Multi-Carrier IoT SIMs
Managed SIM cards with carrier fail-over, private APNs, and central visibility for RTUs and remote field devices.
The kind of work we do every week.
If your project looks like one of these, we can help — from a single panel to a full SCADA modernization.

- 12Troubleshooting unreliable systems
A straightforward, engineering-led process.
Every project follows the same disciplined path — scope it correctly, design it to be maintainable, build it cleanly, and stay engaged through startup.
- STEP 01
Scope the system
Site walks, existing-condition review, P&ID and I/O analysis, and clear definition of operating modes, alarms, and integration points before any code or wiring is touched.
- STEP 02
Design and document
Panel layouts, wiring schematics, network architecture, instrument datasheets, and control narratives. The package an electrician, integrator, or operator can actually use.
- STEP 03
Build, program, integrate
Panel design packages issued, PLC logic written and tested, SCADA/HMI built around operator workflows, instruments integrated, networks segmented and hardened.
- STEP 04
Startup and support
On-site commissioning, loop checks, tuning, operator walkthrough, and as-built documentation — followed by responsive support for upgrades and troubleshooting.
A controls partner that takes ownership from design through long-term support.
Licensed PE engineers
Many of our engineers are licensed Professional Engineers, leading the controls scope end-to-end.
ISA/IEC 62443 aligned
OT cybersecurity built around 62443 zone-and-conduit principles and NIST guidance.
Field-aware design
Panels and systems engineered for real installation conditions, not just paper.
Maintainable PLC logic
Structured, commented code organized so the next person can read it.
Operator-friendly HMI
Screens designed around how operators actually run the plant.
Secure remote access
MFA, role-based access, and session logging — no shared passwords.
Clear documentation
Schematics, narratives, datasheets, and as-builts that match what's installed.
Startup that doesn't disappear
We stay engaged through commissioning and beyond install.
