PROUDLY SERVING THE MIDWEST.

AUTOMATION CONTROLS DONE RIGHT.

Specializing in Full Systems Integration

Some companies need a full automation partner. Others just need extra engineering capacity. We do both. We work directly with manufacturers to design and build complete control systems from concept through commissioning. When your in-house team is stretched thin, we step in as overflow engineering support to keep your projects on schedule. And if you only need engineering services, we can deliver design, programming, and documentation that your team can build and run with.

Start Your Project

Precision Work from

Experienced Engineers

Every Quantum Design project starts with engineering. Our experienced controls engineers work under ISO 9001:2015 certified processes, whether we’re re-engineering existing panels or designing new custom panels. The result is clean, well-organized wiring and efficient panel layouts. Those make troubleshooting faster, maintenance easier, and long-term operating costs lower.

Quality Automation Controls that

Prevent Expensive Failures

In automation, quality isn’t optional. A well-engineered control system protects your uptime, your people, and your bottom line. Our team brings disciplined engineering, careful attention to detail, and proven build standards to every project, so your system starts up smoothly, runs reliably, and keeps delivering value for years.

Wide Range of Programming Expertise

Our engineers work across dozens of PLC, HMI, and control platforms. We can design a new system, modernize an aging one, or move you to a different manufacturer’s platform. Whichever it is, we’ll build a solution that fits your equipment, your team, and your production goals.

Ability to Integrate with Your ERP, MES, or Plant Data Systems

We’ve been at the forefront of data collection systems and back-end integration technologies for decades and have the breadth of knowledge and experience to ensure a smooth integration.
