Custom measurement and automation systems

We supply custom measurement and automation systems to technology-based industries that include mining & materials handling, renewable energy & power, process R&D, transport and manufacturing.

Our systems deliver superior performance for demanding applications that push the limits of traditional data loggers and PC/PLC controllers.

Move Beyond Traditional Data Loggers and PC/PLC Controllers

The pressure on modern engineering businesses to meet stricter industry standards, deliver continuous process improvement and maintain quality, all while minimising costs and time-to-market, demands more capable measurement and automation systems that routinely push the limits of traditional data loggers and PC/PLC controllers.

Modern measurement and automation systems may include requirements for:

  • Complex mixes of data types, including traditional analog & digital point data, comms-based data packets, non-standard sensors, and ad-hoc events.
  •  Mixed data rates, from less than 1 Sa/s to more than 1 MSa/s
  •  Very high accuracy and precision
  • Compliance with demanding and evolving regulatory standards
  • In-line real-time data analysis and data reduction
  • Support for multiple network standards and communications protocols
  • Implementation of custom control algorithms
  • Connection to Enterprise-level data and configuration management systems.

Our systems address all these requirements and more to meet your most demanding measurement and automation challenges.

Real-Time Processing, Intelligent Automation and Future Proofing

Our measurement systems can filter, aggregate or analyse data before it is transmitted/logged. Processed data can be distributed in real-time, minimising the time between data acquisition and actionable insights.

Our automation systems include powerful multi-core processors and large on-board memory, delivering PC-like levels of data processing and decision making in a rugged and reliable industrial form factor.

All systems are modular and scalable and can be expanded as your needs evolve. Whether you require a single test bench or a distributed, multi-site data acquisition network, we design with the future in mind, ensuring your system is flexible and future-proof.

We deliver complete, ready-to-run measurement and automation solutions, not just boxes of hardware and software. Our solutions can be seamlessly integrated with your existing infrastructure. We use industry-standard hardware and software platforms that will ensure that your system can be maintained and supported over its projected commercial life.

We have a 30+ year history delivering successful measurement and automation solutions to a very wide range of industries. Our experience across multiple industries ensures that we stay at the forefront of evolving technology trends. Our partnership with our clients covers all aspects of the system development from design, deployment, documentation & training, and ongoing support and maintenance.

our projects

See our projects page for a comprehensive overview on how Elevate Controls can add value and expertise to your business.

ECU Field Tester

This project demonstrates Elevate Controls’ commitment to designing robust, flexible test and measurement systems that evolve with our customers’ needs.

An End-Of-Line (EOL) Test System for an Engine Control Unit (ECU)

By combining NI’s industry-leading PXI/TestStand platform with custom circuitry and robust mechanical fixturing, Elevate Controls delivered a flexible and scalable automated ECU End-of-Line Test System tailored to the client’s needs.

Locomotive Train Line Interface

Elevate Controls’ met a demanding time-to-market schedule to deliver a ready-to-deploy final product suited to medium level production volumes. The interface design included self-test functionality that allowed production units to be validated by reference to a second interface.

Hil Test System For VCU

Elevate Controls supplied a 600+ IO point HIL Test System with full fault insertion capability to test a new custom VCU. This flexible and scalable system integrates NI Real-Time PXI hardware with a custom electronic load box and signal conditioning interface.

Alcoa Laboratory Instrument Integration

The ALIAN system’s innovative design and industry impact earned it Finalist status at NI Week 2000 in the “Best Applications Paper” category for Test and Quality.

TiRO Pilot-Scale Production Plant

The project was recognised as a Finalist at the PACE Zenith Awards 2013 in the Mining, Minerals, and Exploration category, highlighting its contribution to innovation in metal production.

Chute Modelling Circuit

The successful deployment of the BSM monitoring and control system eliminated the need for manual control of motor drives and moisture monitoring.

Portable Rail Hunting System

The portable rail hunting detection system provided the client with a highly reliable, autonomous, and data-driven approach to investigating rail hunting effects.
