PLC programming
Allen-Bradley ControlLogix and CompactLogix in Studio 5000. New programs, modifications, and reverse-engineering legacy code that came with no drawings.
Williston Basin
Control systems for Bakken production facilities.
Redline Automation provides PLC programming, commissioning, and industrial control system support for oil & gas facilities throughout the Williston Basin. We specialize in startup assistance, troubleshooting, control system upgrades, and automation projects that keep production online.

What we do
From a blank controller to a facility that runs.
New builds, retrofits, and the systems nobody has documentation for. We work on live facilities and plan the work around production, not the other way around.
Commissioning and startup
Loop checks, functional testing, control narrative verification, and startup coverage. We stay until your facility runs
Measurement and SCADA
ABB Totalflow and ROC800 flow computers, Modbus mapping, and FactoryTalk View operator interfaces.
Field troubleshooting
Comm failures, level control that won't hold, valves that hunt, instruments reading wrong. We find the actual cause instead of replacing parts.
Platforms
What we already know how to work on.
No learning curve billed to you. If it's on this list, we have configured it, commissioned it, or pulled it apart in the field.

Look at the Work, Not the Claim
Every automation provider says their programs are clean and well documented. Almost none will show you one.
We put a short excerpt of real ControlLogix work on the site — the controller organizer, device fault handling on a separator, the level control behind it, and how values get mapped out to SCADA — along with what we are trying to accomplish when we structure a program your team has to live with.

Small on purpose.
You get the principal, not a trainee
The automation professionals leading your project remain engaged from planning through startup, ensuring technical continuity, clear communication, and reliable execution.
We document what we leave behind
Commented code, updated IO lists, and a tag list your SCADA group can actually use. The next person to open the program should not have to reverse-engineer it.
Cleared before we mobilize
Current SafeLand, H2S, First Aid/CPR and enrolled in ISNetworld. Send your site requirements and we confirm compliance before anyone steps on location.
