Control & Automation

At JBA Engineering, we deliver industrial control and automation engineering services that improve operational efficiency, system reliability, and process safety across manufacturing, infrastructure, energy, and process industries. Our multidisciplinary teams provide fully integrated automation solutions, supporting projects from concept and functional design through to panel manufacture, site installation, commissioning, and long-term operational support.

From new control systems and PLC/SCADA integration to legacy system upgrades and high-reliability automation solutions, we help clients modernise industrial operations while maintaining safe, resilient, and efficient performance.

Delivering Complete Automation Solutions

Modern industrial facilities rely on robust automation and control systems to maximise efficiency, maintain process safety, and improve operational performance. As systems become increasingly connected and production demands continue to grow, organisations need automation partners capable of delivering fully integrated solutions from design through to commissioning and long-term support.

Unlike many automation providers, JBA Engineering delivers automation, control, electrical engineering, process engineering, and functional safety expertise entirely in-house. Our capabilities include system programme integration, Functional Design Specifications (FDS), Cause & Effect development, logic solver programming, high-reliability control systems, and complete control system and panel design. Combined with our in-house panel build, site installation, commissioning, and expertise in legacy control system replacements and upgrades, we provide turnkey automation solutions that reduce project interfaces, accelerate delivery, and improve long-term operational reliability.

Industrial operators face increasing pressure to improve operational efficiency, maintain system reliability, and modernise ageing infrastructure while managing cyber security risks and operational continuity. Integrating automation systems, industrial networks, and digital technologies across existing facilities requires a coordinated engineering approach and practical operational understanding.

At JBA Engineering, we provide IT and automation engineering solutions that help organisations improve process control, enhance operational visibility, and support long-term digital transformation. Our multidisciplinary teams deliver practical automation and infrastructure support tailored to the technical and operational demands of industrial environments.

Featured Case Study

Modernising the Tees, Powering our Future

Replacing Obsolete Substation Monitoring with a Next-Gen 4G Power Network

Redcar Power Station, located on the former SSI Steelworks site along the River Tees, plays an important role in supporting the region’s ongoing industrial redevelopment. To maintain safe, reliable operation across a wide network of remote substations, the site required continuous visibility of high-voltage assets and real-time communication with the central control team.

With the existing SERCK telemetry system becoming obsolete and unsupported, JBA Engineering was appointed to modernise the site’s monitoring infrastructure. By replacing legacy equipment with Siemens hardware, implementing resilient 4G LTE communications, and delivering a redundant SCADA visualisation platform, JBA transformed the system into a secure, future-ready digital monitoring solution for critical power infrastructure.
