Why choose Integrated Edge Solutions

Competence you can verify.
Risk you can reduce.

Plant managers and engineering leads in batch/process industries need more than a programmer β€” they need an engineer who understands their process, their risk profile, and their documentation requirements.

πŸ“‹

URS-Driven Methodology

Every modification is traceable to your requirements. No scope creep, no undocumented changes β€” your audit trail is clean.

πŸ”’

Secure File Handling

Your system backups are sensitive OT assets. Encrypted transfer, read-only initial review, NDA available on request.

πŸ§ͺ

Full FAT Documentation

Every modification tested and documented. Pass/fail evidence ready for your validation team, site acceptance, or regulatory audit.

⚑

Fast Turnaround

Remote modifications completed and returned quickly, minimising your production downtime. Urgent requests prioritised.

S88 Batch Specialist Batch Control Expertise

Deep expertise in batch & process control

Most PLC engineers can modify ladder logic. Far fewer understand the nuances of S88-compliant batch systems, recipe management, and phase logic β€” the kind of work where a mistake can mean a failed batch, a compliance failure, or a safety event.

Moving from an obsolete PLC or legacy SCADA to a supported platform? I can plan and deliver the migration with minimal disruption.

Remote / On-Site
New · Fixed price

Control System Health Check

If your PLC failed tomorrow, how long would you be down? In half a day, without touching production, I check the eight things that decide whether a failure costs you hours or days.

BackupsIs there a current, working copy of every PLC, HMI and SCADA program?
Software & licencesCan anyone still open and edit the programs, or do they live on one old laptop?
Hardware ageWhich controllers, I/O cards, HMIs and drives are obsolete or end-of-life?
SparesIs there a spare for each critical part, pre-loaded and ready to swap?
Network & remote accessIs the control network separate from the office, and is remote access secure?
Alarms & interlocksAre key alarms and interlocks working, and none left bypassed or forced?
DocumentationDo drawings, IP lists and descriptions match what is installed?
SupportWho would fix it at 2am on a Saturday, and how long would it take?
You receive: a one-page red/amber/green report · your top 5 fixes with rough cost and effort · fresh backups of every program found · a 30-minute walk-through call

About
Integrated Edge Solutions
Systems Engineer Β· Falkirk, Scotland

I'm a systems engineer based in Falkirk, Scotland, with 7 years of hands-on experience in industrial automation β€” specialising in batch control systems for food & beverage, distilling, pharmaceutical, and process industries.

Having worked on sites across Scotland and the UK, I understand the pressure plant managers and engineering leads face when a system needs modifying without disrupting production. That's why I built Integrated Edge Solutions β€” to provide fast, reliable, fully-documented control system modifications that reduce your risk, not increase it.

My background in S88 batch systems means I can work on the kind of complex, validated environments that many general PLC programmers avoid. If your process is critical and your documentation needs to stand up to scrutiny, I'm the right engineer for the job.

7 years in industrial automation & batch control systems
Specialist in S88 batch logic for food, beverage & distilling sectors
Experienced across Siemens, Rockwell, AVEVA & GE iFIX platforms

How I handle your system backups securely

Sharing a system backup is a significant step. Here's exactly how your files and IP are protected throughout the process.

πŸ”

Encrypted File Transfer

All backups transferred via encrypted channels. Direct email attachments for large files avoided β€” secure transfer links used instead.

πŸ“

NDA on Request

A Non-Disclosure Agreement can be signed before any files are shared or reviewed β€” protecting your IP and process knowledge.

πŸ‘

Read-Only Initial Review

Initial scoping review conducted read-only β€” no modifications made until scope and cost are agreed in writing.

πŸ—‘

Secure File Deletion

Your backup files are securely deleted upon project completion unless ongoing support is agreed. You decide the retention policy.

🌐

No Unauthorised Remote Access

I do not request remote access to live systems without explicit written authorisation. All work done offline against your backup.

πŸ“‹

Change Log & Audit Trail

Every change documented with before/after states. Your change management process is respected and supported throughout.

FAQ

Common questions

Can you work on legacy PLC systems? +
Yes β€” legacy systems are often the most critical to get right. I work with older Rockwell platforms as well as current Studio 5000, and I have planned migrations from obsolete PLCs to supported hardware. If your platform is one I don't know well, I'll say so before quoting.
How do you handle cybersecurity for remote access to OT systems? +
In almost all cases I work offline against your system backup β€” no remote access to live systems is needed or requested. If live remote access is required for specific support tasks, this is only done with your explicit written authorisation via a VPN or secure remote desktop session you control.
Do you handle SCADA upgrades and migrations? +
Yes, on platforms I know well, including AVEVA and GE iFIX. That covers tag mapping, screen recreation, historian changes, and testing. For other platforms I'll tell you upfront whether I'm the right fit.
Can you work on validated batch systems in pharmaceutical environments? +
Yes, with awareness of the additional requirements involved. All modifications are fully documented in a format suitable for validation documentation, and I can work within your change control process. I'd recommend discussing your specific validation requirements upfront.
What is included in the FAT document? +
The FAT document covers every requirement in your URS β€” with test case number, description, test method, expected result, actual result, and pass/fail status. It provides full traceability and can be used for site acceptance, validation, or audit purposes.
How long does a typical modification project take? +
This depends entirely on scope. Minor modifications with a clear URS can be turned around in 2–5 business days. Larger batch system modifications or SCADA work may take 2–4 weeks. I always provide a realistic timeline before starting and flag any risks early.
Do you provide on-site support outside Scotland? +
Yes β€” I'm available for on-site work across the UK. For international projects, remote delivery is often preferred but I can discuss on-site options. Travel and accommodation for sites outside central Scotland would be factored into the project quote.
Can you sign an NDA before reviewing our system backup? +
Absolutely β€” and I'd encourage it. A mutual NDA can be signed before any files are shared. This is standard practice for sensitive OT assets and I have no issue with it.
