About

Elevate Controls is a full-cycle developer of custom control, measurement & automation systems, and associated application services. We specialise in mission-critical applications for the most demanding industries, with requirements that go beyond the limits of standard PC or PLC-based systems

Expert knowledge backed by real world experience

We are a multi-disciplinary team that delivers solutions to demanding real-world control and monitoring challenges. We are expert users of proven hardware and software toolsets that minimise development risk and maximise the efficient use of hardware and software resources. Our systems deliver on their promise.

Total Solutions, Not Just Boxes of Technology

At Elevate Controls, we don’t just build control and monitoring systems. We engineer complete solutions that can include:

  • Complex multi-channel IO mixes
  • Fully integrated data management, analysis and reporting
  • Integration with your existing infrastructure
  • On-going maintenance and support

Our expertise ensures seamless integration, robust performance in extreme environments, and compliance with the highest industry standards.

A Consistent but Flexible Development Process

We follow a consistent but agile development process, from concept to operational deployment, that delivers a quality outcome every time. The process is flexible and can be adapted to the specific needs of your project within the constraints of risk, budget, and time-to-market.

If you don’t need full-cycle support, but just some help with a part of your process (eg an HIL system to test a prototype, or an End-Of-Line production test system), we can do that too.

Commitment to Quality Work Practices

Elevate Controls is certified to the ISO 9001:2015 standard for Quality Management Systems.  We maintain internal procedures for tracking time, functional requirements, and external Standards compliance, which can map to our customers’ project management systems as required.

We develop application software according to industry-standard software engineering practices, and all our System Developers code to common company standards for software architecture and coding style.

This means that we will always have a Developer available to respond to any issues associated with your application.

We operate a team-based system development process, with the flexibility to move our System Developers between teams as required. This means that we can provide extra resources if your project is on a time-critical path.

We Work Directly with Our Customers as Partners

We make a lifetime commitment to our customers as partners.

We can work independently to your specification or as an embedded part of your development team.

We will give you unbiased advice based on years of expertise with real-world measurement and automation systems and proven industry-standard toolsets.

The modern software-based measurement and automation industry is less than 35 years old. It is a testament to our ability to engineer flexible and future-proof systems that many of the solutions we delivered to customers over 20 years ago are still deployed today.

Partnering with Elevate Controls means working with a team that understands your industry’s complexities and delivers innovative, reliable, and scalable solutions that drive operational success.

Our Approach

Every control, monitoring, or test system project is unique. Elevate Controls follows a consistent development process that adapts to the unique requirements of your project and delivers a quality outcome every time. We use industry-standard tool chains that ensure consistent and efficient application of resources across every stage.

We offer a full-cycle development service from concept to deployment, and every stage in between. Whether you’re starting from a blank page or optimising an existing system, our team brings deep industrial experience, technical know-how, and a problem-solving mindset to every project.

Our Services

Elevate Controls offers full-cycle development of embedded controllers. Our consistent development process adapts to the unique requirements of your project and ensures a quality outcome every time. We use industry standard tool chains that ensure efficient use of resources, and design protect to allow for future variation and scalability.

We supply custom measurement and automation systems for application in technology-based industries including mining & materials handling, renewable energy & power, transport, and manufacturing.

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

We are expert integrators of the Mathworks MATLAB/Simulink software toolchain for system modelling, simulation and control design of complex engineering applications.

We design, develop, validate and certify high-volume Vehicle/Engine Control Units.

We are a proven partner for VCU/ECU development with over 100,000 units currently in service.

Elevate Controls can partner with you to develop your control, measurement, or automation product. We can manage the entire process to the point of handover or work as an embedded part of your product development team.

We develop products using fully documented industry-standard processes and toolsets that ensure that your product can be maintained, evolved, and supported for it’s projected commercial life.

We employ a consistent development methodology that delivers successful outcomes every time.

Elevate Controls develops custom test systems that are integral to every successful industrial or manufacturing business. Test guides and validates product development, tracks and maintains product quality, and is an essential element of post-production support and warranty management.

Elevate Controls specialises in custom solutions to industrial automation challenges that push the limits of traditional PLC/SCADA systems. We target challenging industrial R&D or test applications, specialised sub-systems within a traditional DCS, and process control for niche or pilot-scale manufacturing.

We have supplied systems to industries that include mining and materials handling, electrical power, transport, manufacturing, process industries, agribusiness, and engineering services.

We do not compete directly in the large-scale DCS or SCADA space.

Traditional data management lags behind the exponential growth in the volume and variety of data collected in modern engineering workplaces.

Elevate Controls’ Engineering Data Management Solution is designed to meet the needs of small to medium-sized engineering groups that must manage, analyse, and report large quantities of mixed-signal data.

Elevate Controls is an NI Systems Integration Partner with over 30 years’ experience deploying NI-based systems into Australian industry.

We are one of Australia’s most awarded integrators of NI systems at leading industry events.

We have hands-on experience with all NI’s current & legacy hardware lines, and all NI software applications & frameworks. We are one of Australia’s leading LabVIEW software development houses, having worked with every version of LabVIEW since its initial release.

Fibre Optic Measurement delivers some unique benefits that complement the functionality of traditional electro-mechanical sensing systems.

Elevate Controls can deliver measurement and automation systems that seamlessly integrate Fibre Optic Measurement into traditional electro-mechanical sensing systems. This can address issues that may be challenging or impossible to meet with electro-mechanical sensors alone.
