Safe, secure and resilient control systems that deliver performance.
Enquire About Control Solutions
Control systems sit at the heart of safe, reliable and efficient operations.
We design, deliver and support complete control solutions for complex industrial and infrastructure environments. From functional safety, PLC and SCADA systems to industrial networks, control panels, MCCs and electrical installation, we help clients improve reliability, maintain compliance, reduce downtime and keep critical systems performing with confidence.
Functional safety is embedded from the outset.
Our TÜV certified engineers develop and validate safety related control systems in accordance with ISO 13849, IEC 62061 and IEC 61508. Whether integrating new safety functions or upgrading ageing machinery, we ensure compliance is achieved without compromising operational performance.
Confidence in Every Control System.
When control systems underperform, the impact is immediate. Production can stop, asset reliability can fall, safety can be compromised and maintenance teams can end up managing increasing levels of risk. We help clients address those challenges with control solutions that are practical, robust and designed around real operational demands.
Our Controls capability covers the full lifecycle of a system, from early assessment and design through to delivery, commissioning, training and long term support. That means we can support new projects, upgrades to ageing systems, phased migrations and improvements to existing assets, always with a focus on safe operation, maintainability and long term value.
Commissioning is led by our dedicated team of engineers who support projects from Factory Acceptance Testing through to installation and final Site Acceptance. Their involvement ensures systems are thoroughly tested, correctly implemented and ready for operational use. We also provide operation and maintenance training, giving your teams the knowledge and confidence to manage the system safely and effectively from day one.
Our involvement continues beyond handover. We provide preventative maintenance, remote diagnostics and 24, 7 response support to maintain availability and system integrity. We also support obsolescence planning and staged migrations, allowing clients to modernise control infrastructure without disrupting production.
From feasibility studies and detailed design to installation and commissioning, we meticulously plan and execute every stage.
Control Panels
Electrical design is a fundamental part of our Controls capability. Our engineers produce detailed electrical schematics, general arrangement drawings, cable schedules and installation documentation that define how the system is built and implemented. From this design foundation, we deliver control panels, motor control centres and electrical installation as part of a complete control solution, ensuring compliance with recognised standards and alignment with the overall control architecture.

Drives and motion control systems are essential for achieving precise, efficient and reliable operation of industrial processes. Our engineers design and implement solutions that control speed, torque and positioning across a wide range of applications.
From system upgrades to new installations, we deliver fully integrated drive solutions that improve performance, optimise energy use and enhance control, while ensuring safe, stable and maintainable operation.
Industrial Networking and Cyber Security
Industrial networks provide secure, reliable communication between devices and systems. We design segmented architectures aligned with IEC 62443 principles, supporting secure remote access, performance visibility and future digital integration while protecting operational technology from unnecessary exposure.
Find Out MoreObsolescence & Migration
Obsolescence and migration are critical to maintaining reliable and secure control systems as technology evolves. Our engineers assess existing assets, identify risks and develop structured upgrade strategies that minimise disruption to operations.
From phased migrations to full system replacement, we deliver practical solutions that extend asset life, improve performance and ensure long-term supportability, while maintaining continuity and reducing operational risk.
PLC Systems
PLCs sit at the heart of modern control systems, providing the flexibility, reliability and performance needed to operate complex industrial processes. Our engineers design, develop and implement PLC-based solutions tailored to each application, from standalone systems to fully integrated architectures. This includes new installations, system upgrades and scalable control strategies that improve performance, enhance visibility and ensure long-term maintainability.
Find Out MorePreventative Maintenance & Support
Preventative maintenance and support are essential to keeping control systems reliable, available and performing as intended. Our engineers provide structured maintenance programmes and responsive support tailored to each site and asset.
From routine inspections and system health checks to fault diagnostics and ongoing support, we help reduce downtime, manage risk and ensure long-term performance across the asset lifecycle.
Safety Systems
Functional safety is a core part of how we work. Our TÜV qualified engineers develop and validate safety related control systems to recognised standards, helping clients protect people, equipment and operations while meeting compliance obligations. This includes new safety systems, machine upgrades and integrated safety strategies that support productivity as well as protection.
Find Out MoreSCADA Systems
SCADA systems provide the visibility and control needed to operate complex industrial processes with confidence. Our engineers design and deliver intuitive supervisory systems that bring together data, alarms and control into a clear, user-focused interface.
From new systems to upgrades of existing platforms, we deliver scalable SCADA solutions that improve monitoring, support decision-making and integrate seamlessly with PLCs, networks and wider business systems.
FAIRFIELDS delivers a full seven step control and automation service, from initial concept and design through to commissioning and long term support.
