Early on, our Principal Engineer recognized the value of automation.  ENGraphted Engineering Solutions approaches automation from a deep understanding of the system we are controlling.  We understand the mechanical aspects, the chemistry of the process if applicable, the human factor, and know how to consider safety and environmental factors.  We write the programming code in-house.  Our hardware of choice is Opto22, although we have worked with other platforms.  We will gladly demonstrate our experience as well as the robustness and cost effectiveness of our choice of hardware on past projects.
