Industrial control systems, engineered and built in-house — from code to panel.
J+H Automation Solutions designs, programs, and fabricates complete machine control systems in Hackett, Arkansas. PLC and HMI development, control panel fabrication in our own UL® Listed panel shop, and integration with any line — for manufacturers across North America.
Three capabilities. One in-house controls team.
Control System Design & Implementation
We design and implement a wide variety of machine control systems using many different platforms and software packages — and all controls engineering is done in-house. A seasoned team of controls engineers sees each project through development, coding, testing, startup, and support.
Controls engineers work side by side with our mechanical designers and project managers, so the control system is engineered as part of the machine — not bolted on afterward. The result is a complete, connected system that starts up faster and runs more reliably.
Control Panel Fabrication & Assembly
Every control enclosure is designed and fabricated in our own UL® Listed panel shop. Our workflow ensures a seamless transfer from engineering design to shop build, and each panel is quality checked and tested before it ships.
Because the panel shop sits under the same roof as engineering, customization isn't just possible — it's efficient. Custom enclosures, layouts, and component selections are handled without the delays of outsourced fabrication.
PLC & HMI Programming Capabilities
Our controls engineers develop Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and Human Machine Interface (HMI) applications for almost any application. We deploy Allen-Bradley®, Omron®, B&R®, Siemens®, and other PLC platforms.
We also offer advanced operator interface and SCADA software as a systems integrator for Inductive Automation® Ignition®, and can implement many different styles of HMIs — matched to your operators, your data needs, and your existing infrastructure.

Controls work, built and tested in Hackett, AR
The engineers who write your code also stand at your startup
100% In-House Engineering
No subcontracted code. Development, testing, startup, and support all come from the same J+H controls team.
UL® Listed Panel Shop
Panels engineered and built under one roof, quality checked and tested before shipment — customization made efficient.
Proven Before It Ships
Controls are integrated and run off with the full system in our facility, so on-site startup is shorter and smoother.
Common questions from plant and controls engineers
What PLC platforms do you program?
Our in-house controls engineers develop PLC and HMI applications on Allen-Bradley®, Omron®, B&R®, Siemens®, and other platforms. We're also a systems integrator for Inductive Automation® Ignition® and can implement many different styles of operator interfaces.
Do you build control panels in-house?
Yes — all control enclosures are designed and fabricated in our own UL® Listed panel shop in Hackett, Arkansas. Every panel is quality checked and tested before it ships.
Is controls engineering done in-house or subcontracted?
All controls engineering is done in-house. The same team sees each project through development, coding, testing, startup, and post-startup support.
Can you integrate new controls with our existing equipment?
Yes. We routinely integrate new control systems with existing conveyors, robotics, AGV systems, vision systems, and specialty equipment to form one complete, connected system.
Do you provide support after startup?
Yes. The engineers who develop and commission your system provide post-installation support — the people supporting your line are the people who built it.
