Integrated engineering
Electrical, control, mechanical and process under one team. No broken interfaces between disciplines.
// Turnkey — one party responsible
Industrial Automation Contractor in Panama
Complete turnkey projects: detailed engineering, control panel fabrication, PLC programming, drive parameter setup and commissioning. One contract, one party responsible.
- In-house engineering — nothing subcontracted
- Fabrication workshop in Panama
- Siemens TIA Portal programming + Danfoss drives
- Commissioning with operator training in Spanish
// The problem
Signs that you need to act
If you recognize one or more of these symptoms in your plant, there is a measurable, fixable root cause. We identify it in a single site visit.
- 01
Several suppliers, no coordination
One supplier for the VFD, another for the PLC, another for the panels, and an integrator who puts them together. When something fails, nobody is responsible. Turnkey removes the finger-pointing.
- 02
Low-quality subcontracted engineering
Projects quoted with engineering 'to be sorted out in the field'. The result: cost overruns, delays, badly sized equipment. Here the engineering is approved before any equipment is purchased.
- 03
No plan after handover
The plant is energized and the integrator disappears. Operators untrained, parameters undocumented, no support when something fails. Our contract includes support during the warranty period plus the option of ongoing maintenance.
// What you get
How we help you
Concrete services, not generic ones. Every item comes with verifiable scope and documented deliverables.
In-house fabrication
Panels and skids built in our own workshop in Panama. Documented FAT before anything ships. No middlemen.
Premium components
Danfoss drives (VLT/iC2/iC7), Siemens PLCs (S7-1200/1500), UWT and Novus instrumentation, Samson and LESER valves. Brands with support in Panama.
Robust programming
Code documented to the IEC 61131-3 standard. Structured in reusable function blocks. Your team can still read the program years later.
Commissioning taken seriously
Windows coordinated with your production. Testing under real load. Operator training. As-built documentation kept up to date.
After-sales support
VPN for remote troubleshooting, genuine spare parts in Panama, optional DrivePro contract for ongoing drive maintenance.
// Process
How we work
Every step hands something concrete to the next one. No "internal phases" without an output.
01
On-site technical assessment
We visit your plant, understand the process, evaluate the existing installations and document limitations and opportunities.
02
Concept engineering + proposal
Control philosophy, preliminary P&ID, list of main equipment, budget and schedule. Approved before detailed design starts.
03
Detailed engineering
Single-line diagrams, control diagrams, panel layouts, technical specification for every instrument. Reviewed with the client.
04
Procurement + fabrication
Equipment purchasing, panel fabrication in our workshop, PLC programming, SCADA configuration.
05
FAT in the workshop
Point-to-point testing, logic simulation, drive parameter setup, documented protocol with the client present.
06
SAT + commissioning
On-site electrical installation, testing under real load, fine-tuning, operator training, formal handover of the documentation.
// Frequently asked questions
What we get asked most
Quick answers to the questions technical teams in Panama ask us most often.
Q01 What does a turnkey project include?
Everything your plant needs to run: detailed engineering (P&ID, single-line diagrams, control philosophy), equipment supply (drives, motors, instrumentation, valves), panel fabrication in our workshop, PLC and HMI programming, drive parameter setup, FAT testing, on-site electrical installation, commissioning under real load, as-built documentation and operator training in Spanish. One party responsible.
Q02 How long does a typical automation project take?
For a mid-sized project (for example a pumping station with 4-6 VFDs plus a PLC and a basic SCADA): 10-14 weeks end to end. Larger projects (a complete treatment plant, a process line): 16-24 weeks. The proposal includes a realistic Gantt chart with specific milestones — no invented dates to close the sale.
Q03 Which industries do you serve in Panama?
Water (potable, wastewater, municipal and industrial treatment plants), food and beverage (pasteurization, CIP/SIP, filling), mining (processing, tailings, pumping), energy (cogeneration, renewables), manufacturing (converting, packaging), commercial (HVAC for hospitality and retail) and chemicals (mixing, dosing, alcohol filtration). A portfolio of delivered projects with technical teams from each sector.
Q04 Do you work with Siemens PLCs? Can you handle Allen-Bradley or Schneider?
Our specialty is Siemens S7-1200 / S7-1500 with TIA Portal — it covers 90% of what we do. For projects with Allen-Bradley (Logix5000 / Studio 5000) or Schneider (EcoStruxure) we have trained engineers, but we quote based on team availability. Migrations from Allen-Bradley to Siemens S7-1500 are especially cost-effective.
Q05 Do you offer SCADA as well as the PLC?
Yes. Siemens WinCC for industrial SCADA systems, Siemens TIA Comfort Panel HMIs on the plant floor, or web-based solutions (Ignition, MQTT integrations with the cloud) depending on what the client prefers. Screen design centered on the operator — no decoration without value.
Q06 How do you make sure the project keeps working after handover?
Three levels. (1) A rigorous FAT before shipping — nothing leaves the workshop without passing the complete tests. (2) SAT on site under real load, with operator training. (3) Post-commissioning support: a 1-year warranty on labor, VPN remote access for troubleshooting, and the option of a DrivePro Services maintenance contract for the drives.
