Independent, vendor-neutral consulting for plants running aging DCS and PLC systems — backed by 35 years across Honeywell, Rockwell, Yokogawa, and Emerson.
Obsolescence roadmaps, ISA-18.2 alarm management, operator training, and hot-cutover migration strategies — delivered as clear, ready-to-execute reports your team or integrator can follow.
You don't need another vendor telling you to rip and replace. You need an honest plan that fits your process, budget, and timeline.
End-of-life controllers, dwindling spares, and rising downtime risk on 20+ year-old systems that still run your plant.
Operators drowning in nuisance alarms, masking the events that actually matter and eroding safe, confident response.
Experienced techs retiring with undocumented logic in their heads, and new hires who've never seen a TDC3000.
For 35 years I designed and sold DCS and PLC service agreements from the vendor side. Now I use that inside knowledge to help plants structure agreements that cost less, cover more, and give you real leverage with the big vendors.

Life extension, alarm reduction, and cost avoidance — measured, not promised.
82–91% nuisance alarm reduction in 2–4 weeks using ISA-18.2 rationalization on Honeywell Experion — saving $50K–$100K+ versus a full-time contractor.
