PLC programming
New logic, migrations, and rescue of undocumented legacy code across all four major platforms.
Control systems that keep running when the plant does.
FHI designs, programs and supports PLC, SCADA and machine control across mining, manufacturing, pharmaceutical and process plants — from panel to historian, on site or remote.

What we do
Six things, done properly, rather than a catalogue of everything.
HMI design
Operator screens built around the task — clear navigation, alarms that mean something, workable recipe handling.
SCADA design
Ignition, AVEVA and WinCC applications with historian logging, trending and shift reporting.
Machine automation
Full machine control: sequencing, servo and VFD motion, safety interlocks, and commissioning on site.
Machine repair
Breakdown response, fault diagnosis, drive and panel repair, and preventive review before the next stoppage.
Machine to machine
PLC-to-PLC and PLC-to-MES links over PROFIBUS, EtherNet/IP, Modbus and OPC UA, into SQL and IIoT.
Platforms
Vendor-agnostic in practice, not just on paper.

Recent projects
Client names withheld where confidentiality applies. References on request.
Building management system
University campus · Kenya
Campus-wide BMS for centralised monitoring and control of building services: HVAC and plant control, lighting and utility monitoring, alarm management, and a single supervisory interface for the estates team.
Signode Storfast ASRS
Tyre manufacturer · India
WinAC RTX · ET200S · SCL · TIA Portal V14→V19 · WinCC · SQL

Chromatography buffer skid
Equipment manufacturer · United States
Machine Expert · MDX → Lexium ILA
Drive migration and control logic rework on a QuantaSep buffer-maker skid. Rewritten motion layer, conductivity and pH control, and correction of buffer-step sequencing faults, with the IEC 61131-3 code reviewed against P&ID and instrument index.
PLC and SCADA system
Resin manufacturer · Kenya
LS Electric XGT · InfoU · SQL Server
Reactor and tank control with operator graphics and continuous historian logging of temperature, pressure, motor speed and tank weight, for batch traceability and shift reporting.
Microgrid control and monitoring
Hybrid installation
Source changeover and load management between solar, generator and grid supply, with generation, consumption and battery state monitored from a single SCADA interface.
Where we work
Nine years inside plants before the consultancy, and it shows in the designs.
Mining and mineralsOn-line X-ray analysers, conveyor and crusher control, plant SCADA
ManufacturingTyre building machines, motor test rigs, production line controls
PharmaceuticalBuffer preparation and chromatography separation control
HVAC and utilitiesChiller plant management, refrigeration, process monitoring
Water and wasteTreatment plant monitoring and distribution system control
We work in the same conditions our clients do — remote sites, tight shutdown windows, and equipment that has to run. That means pragmatic designs, documentation you can actually use, and an engineer who answers the phone when a line goes down.
Start a conversation
Send the machine, the platform and what it's doing wrong — or what you want it to do. You'll get an engineer's reply, not a sales sequence.
