Industrial automation and DCS systems

More than 20 in-house, multi-brand programmers who design, program and integrate control systems.

LPG terminal and filling plant in the Caribbean – Complete automation with PCS 7
  • 20+in-house, multi-brand programmers
  • 6brands: Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider, ABB, GE and Mitsubishi
  • 30+DCS systems implemented internationally
  • 4,000+process signals in a single project

We have more than 20 in-house, multi-brand programmers. We design and integrate industrial automation systems tailored to each plant, without limitations: from complex DCS systems to PLC-based solutions for discrete processes.

At Grupo Miesa we deliver turnkey industrial automation projects that provide full control, operational efficiency and maximum reliability. We have extensive experience both in critical continuous processes —cracking units, refining and heavy chemicals— and in the automation of discrete processes —conveyors, bottling plants and packaging lines.

Our versatility allows us to adapt each solution to the customer’s real operating environment, selecting the most suitable technology and architecture. We are involved in every phase: from engineering and programming to commissioning and technical support.

What we do

We design robust, safe and scalable solutions covering the whole project life cycle:

  • Hybrid control architectures: DCS, PLCs, Edge, SCADA and virtualisation
  • Control logic programming and standard libraries
  • Integration with MCCs, instrumentation, electrical systems and third-party equipment
  • Industrial networks and communications (Profibus, Profinet, Ethernet/IP, Modbus, OPC UA…)
  • SCADA and HMI interfaces: PCS 7, WinCC, WinCC Unified, AVEVA System Platform, FactoryTalk, iFIX, Citect SCADA, TIA Portal…
  • Specialists in functional safety systems
  • Cybersecurity by design (IEC 62443)
  • After-sales support, remote maintenance and system evolution

Technology and flexibility

We work with multi-brand platforms, which lets us adapt each solution to the real needs of the plant, with no technology lock-in. We deploy systems on physical or virtualised infrastructure, optimising costs, maintenance and availability.
