Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. Many manufacturers have equipment that works but has become difficult to maintain, troubleshoot, or improve over time.

    We can review your existing systems, identify pain points, and recommend practical improvements. Sometimes the best solution is a full retrofit, but often small changes in controls, documentation, or operator visibility can make a significant difference.

    We focus on improving what provides value, not adding complexity for the sake of modernization.

  • No. Many of our projects involve improving existing equipment.

    Whether you need to replace outdated controls, retrofit relay logic with PLC control, improve an HMI, add SCADA capabilities, or troubleshoot an existing system, we can help modernize equipment without replacing what already works.

  • We believe good automation should be easy to understand, easy to maintain, and built around the people who use it every day. That means clearly documented PLC programs, straightforward HMI and SCADA interfaces, and systems that help operators and maintenance personnel quickly understand what's happening, not code that only the original programmer can decipher.

    We're here to help you find the right solution, not the most expensive one.

  • You can reach us anytime via our “Contact Us” page, or via our email: contact-us@bnbautomation.net

    We aim to respond quickly, usually within one business day.

  • Every automation project is different, so pricing depends on the scope, complexity, and goals of the project.

    For smaller projects, troubleshooting, and modifications, we typically work on a time-and-materials basis. For larger projects, we can provide a defined scope and project estimate.

    Our goal is to provide transparent recommendations and help you find the right solution, not sell the most expensive option.

  • Working with us starts with understanding the problem before designing a solution. We take the time to learn how your equipment operates, what challenges your team faces, and what outcome you are trying to achieve.

    Our goal is not to add unnecessary complexity. We focus on practical solutions that are easy to understand, maintain, and build upon.

  • Yes. We understand that many manufacturers inherit equipment without proper documentation or with systems that are difficult to troubleshoot.

    We can help troubleshoot existing programs, make modifications, improve documentation, and help your team better understand how the system operates.

  • We primarily work with small and mid-sized manufacturers who want to modernize their equipment, improve reliability, and make automation more accessible.

    Many of our customers have great equipment and experienced employees but need help improving controls, documentation, and visibility into their processes.

  • We design HMI and SCADA systems around what operators and maintenance teams actually need to know.

    Instead of only showing alarms after something has already failed, we focus on providing visibility into the machine's status, sequence, and conditions needed for operation. The goal is to help people understand what is happening and why.
