PLC Programming Services
Precise, intelligent control for modern industry
At AG Controls, we combine high-quality electrical design and installation with smart software design to automate how machines move and interact, driving performance, precision, and productivity.
What is PLC Programming?
PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) programming is the backbone of automated control systems – it’s the development and optimisation of software that acts as the intelligent ‘brain’, controlling machines and industrial processes to deliver precise, reliable automation across production lines.
AG Controls are PLC Programming experts
Our PLC programming work is built on deep engineering expertise and a hands-on approach to problem-solving. From new installations to legacy system upgrades, we provide:
- Project management
From specification through to on-site delivery - Electrical design
Including detailed E-Plan electrical circuit diagrams, schematics and documentation - Software development
Using Siemens software for industrial automation (such as TIA Portal, Step7) and Allen-Bradley platforms - Commissioning and testing
As part of a full turnkey solution, from electrical design to software, build and delivery, AG Controls manages commissioning and testing on-site, ensuring every system runs safely, reliably and as intended in real-world conditions
Our team can work within client-defined control standards or implement our own proven system architecture – developed through years of PLC industrial automation experience, with bespoke machines in diverse sectors.
Our Approach to PLC Programming
We manage the full lifecycle of PLC control systems – starting with design, through to programming, build, and final commissioning. Our approach covers:
- Complete system builds for new production lines
- Control upgrades where equipment is obsolete or inefficient
- Performance improvements using diagnostics, tuning, or reprogramming
We routinely work on high-precision, multi-station systems involving robotics, motion control, vision sensors, and MES integration – all integrated through structured PLC logic.
We always strived to find solutions, and in some cases, clients have come to us telling us their challenge cannot be fixed, but we have been able to succesfully support them
Industries we support
AG Controls supports a range of industries where PLC Programming, such as industrial automation, is critical:
- Automotive
Fast-cycle production with robust documentation and simulation needs - Pharmaceutical
Strict regulatory compliance with intelligent, traceable control - Advanced manufacturing
Including multi-stage assembly lines requiring fine-tuned PLC coordination, motion accuracy, and tight integration between systems
Across every sector, our role is to design control systems that boost efficiency, minimise downtime, and enable smarter production.
Who We Work With
We work with Original Equipment Manufacturers, other manufacturers, and automation partners across Europe and North America, including GKN Automotive, AAM and Nissan.
We deliver control solutions on both fixed-price and flexible delivery models. Our systems are built to scale, support, and perform in demanding production environments, optimising your production with smart automation solutions.
