Automation & Controls · Root-Cause Diagnosis · Knowledge Transfer

When automation goes down,
we find the fault others can't.

On-site controls and PLC troubleshooting, root-cause diagnosis of the intermittent faults that keep coming back, and documentation that lets your team hold the fix. For manufacturers, warehouses, and facilities.

What We Do

Specialists in the problems that don't have an easy answer.

Three things we focus on, instead of being a generic service call.

Automation & Controls / PLC

Controls, PLC logic, VFDs, and sensors on automated packaging and material-handling lines, palletizers, case packers, and conveyors. Rockwell / Allen-Bradley experience to get automated equipment back online.

Root-Cause Analysis

The intermittent faults and nagging problems other techs can't pin down. We diagnose the actual cause and tune the line, so the failure doesn't keep coming back.

Documentation & Knowledge Transfer

Clear repair reports, troubleshooting guides, and operator training so your team can hold the fix and sustain uptime after we leave.

Also available: preventive-maintenance programs, after-hours and emergency breakdown response, and subcontract field support for OEMs and primes.

Why Ellingson Solutions

We fix the cause, not the symptom.

Swapping parts until the alarm clears is easy. Finding why an automated line keeps faulting, and making sure your team can keep it running, is the actual job.

Common Questions

Good to know before you call.

Do you handle emergency and after-hours breakdowns?
Yes. Breakdowns don't keep business hours, and neither do we. After-hours, weekend, and emergency calls are a core part of what we do. Email us and tell us what's down.
What kinds of work do you take on?
Automation and controls troubleshooting (PLC logic, VFDs, sensors, control panels), automated packaging and material-handling lines, root-cause diagnosis of recurring faults, and documentation and operator training. If you're not sure it's in scope, ask.
How does pricing work?
Most local work is quoted as a half-day or day rate plus parts; after-hours and emergency work is billed at a premium. Travel and materials are billed separately, and you'll always get a not-to-exceed before work begins.
