Automation & Control for Industrial Production

MDP Engineering provides automation and control engineering services for manufacturing engineers, maintenance managers, and plant owners who need a reliable external design partner with real industrial experience.

We focus on design, offline programming, simulations, and documentation so your in-house team or system integrator can build, integrate, and commission equipment with fewer surprises on the shop floor.

Automation & Control Engineering

We develop control concepts, PLC and HMI logic, and integration specifications for production equipment where stability, safety, and uptime are critical.

Each project is led by a dedicated lead engineer, supported by a team of PLC programmers and machine-safety specialists. Our role is to deliver clean, well-documented control solutions that are easy to implement and maintain over the lifecycle of your equipment.

Scope of Services

01.

Offline PLC & HMI Programming
We design and develop PLC logic, safety functions, HMI screens, diagnostics, and start/stop sequences offline, across multiple controller platforms.
Work is performed by experienced automation engineers familiar with Siemens, Allen-Bradley, CODESYS and other leading PLC systems.

02.

Virtual Simulations & Digital Twins
We prepare simulation models of lines and processes that allow your team to test and validate control logic before going on site.
Virtual commissioning concepts help shorten start-up time and reduce the number of changes required during ramp-up.

03.

Control-System Integration Design
We design architectures and integration concepts for:

  • PLC migrations and control upgrades

  • Robot cells and motion systems

  • Drives, safety systems, vision systems, and SCADA/MES interfaces

Our engineers bring brownfield project experience, so integration concepts are realistic for live production environments.

04.

Commissioning-Ready Design Packages
Instead of sending commissioning crews, we deliver commissioning-ready code and documentation:

  • Test plans and I/O checklists

  • Start-up procedures and fault-handling logic

  • Clear handover packages for your internal team or system integrator

01.

PLC Modernization & Retrofits

We support production line upgrades and PLC retrofits in plants where downtime risk must be tightly controlled.
Our work includes migration strategies, code conversion, hardware interaction concepts, and documentation that help your team execute changes on a “live” system with minimal disruption.

02.

Industry-Specific Automation Projects

We design automation and control solutions tailored to specific industries and processes — from assembly and material handling to packaging and process equipment.
We pay close attention to applicable standards, safety functions, and clear signal/tag naming so maintenance, troubleshooting, and modifications are straightforward for your team.

03.

New Greenfield Installations

For new lines and facilities, we design control architectures and hardware concepts in tools such as EPLAN, aligned with your mechanical design and plant standards.
We prepare schematics, I/O lists, communication maps, and control concepts so your selected panel builder and integrator have a complete technical baseline to work from.


What You Receive (Deliverables)

  • Verified PLC and HMI code, tested offline with clear functional descriptions prepared by the project team (not a single freelancer).

  • Simulation models and optimization reports, developed collaboratively by automation, process, and mechanical engineers to better reflect real production conditions.

  • Complete integration packages: communication configurations, signal lists, schematics, and project files that make future system changes easier for your maintenance and engineering teams.

  • Commissioning and operation support documentation: test procedures, start-up checklists, and operator/maintenance training materials created by the engineers who designed the solution — so your internal team can own the system with confidence.
