Our mission
To make industrial automation easier to define, safer to change and more useful to operate by combining disciplined engineering, practical documentation and direct communication from discovery through handoff.
Industrial automation / Atlanta, Georgia
Automation and control.
Engineered for real operations.
PLC/HMI programming, control systems, panels, instrumentation and practical technology support for Atlanta and North Georgia. We help turn an operating problem into a defined scope, controlled implementation and usable technical handoff.

01 / The approach
Define the work.
Then do it well.
INOVAX is an independent engineering and technology company based in Atlanta. We help organizations define, improve and support industrial automation and connected control systems—without overselling what has not yet been scoped.
Our work begins with the process, the equipment and the people who operate it. We examine the present condition, identify interfaces and constraints, and translate the requirement into decisions that engineering, operations and maintenance can understand.
Industrial automation comes first. Digital tools and AI are considered only when they solve a real operational problem, have an accountable owner and can be maintained responsibly. We value clear communication, controlled change, practical testing and documentation that remains useful after startup.
Tell us what needs to work better/ 01Scope before promises
Requirements, assumptions, exclusions, interfaces and acceptance criteria are made visible early so everyone can evaluate the same work.
/ 02Confidentiality by default
We request only the information needed to define the engagement and can establish formal confidentiality terms when appropriate.
/ 03Useful handoff
The objective is not merely a running system, but one your team can operate, understand, troubleshoot and support with appropriate documentation.
Our vision
To become a trusted technical partner for organizations that need modern controls and connected operations without unnecessary complexity, vendor hype or loss of ownership over their systems.
02 / Core capabilities
Industrial work,
clearly organized.
Start with a defined requirement, a troublesome system or an early-stage idea. We connect controls, electrical interfaces, field devices and documentation into a practical scope, then identify the safest and most useful next step.

View all capabilities
Industrial automation
Control architecture, brownfield modernization planning, machine and process integration, industrial communications, functional testing and commissioning support—organized around the operating requirement.
PLC/HMI & controls
PLC logic, HMI applications, alarms, sequences, interlocks, VFD interfaces and troubleshooting. Changes are planned around operator workflow, recovery behavior, version control and a controlled test path.
Panels, instrumentation & field support
Control-panel design and build coordination, I/O and field interfaces, instrumentation loops, motor control, installation planning, startup support and structured diagnosis of difficult industrial faults.
Industrial troubleshooting
Structured diagnosis of intermittent stops, signal disagreements, PLC/HMI/VFD faults, industrial-network problems and sequence-dependent failures using evidence, cause-and-effect analysis and a controlled recovery path.
VFD & motor control
Application review, drive and motor interfaces, command and reference signals, parameters, permissives, interlocks, trip analysis, safe restart behavior and commissioning tests.
Instrumentation & process control
Pressure, temperature, level, flow and position signals; scaling, PID behavior, alarms, trends, calibration, loop checks and documentation of the complete signal path.
Industrial AI & workflow automation
Assessment of structured data, reports, approvals and repeated information handoffs, with human review, ownership, risks and maintainability defined before automation.
Technology advisory
Requirements discovery, option and dependency analysis, brownfield modernization planning, phased roadmaps and vendor-neutral decision support across operations, controls and IT.
03 / Platforms & documentation
Specific enough to be useful.
Verified before commitment.
These are platforms and product families INOVAX can discuss based on applicable technical experience. Exact model, generation, software release, firmware, licenses, source-file access and network compatibility are confirmed during discovery; listing a brand is not a blanket claim of support for every product.
Controllers and programming environments
Rockwell Automation / Allen-Bradley ControlLogix, CompactLogix and Micro800; Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 and S7-1500; ABB AC500; AutomationDirect CLICK, CLICK PLUS and Productivity1000/2000/3000.
Operator interfaces and visualization
Allen-Bradley PanelView with FactoryTalk View Studio or Studio 5000 View Designer as applicable; AVEVA InTouch HMI, formerly Wonderware; AutomationDirect C-more CM5 and EA9; Siemens SIMATIC HMI/WinCC; ABB CP600.
Drive families and interfaces
Allen-Bradley PowerFlex, Siemens SINAMICS, ABB ACS and AutomationDirect DURApulse GS20, GS20X and GS4. Yaskawa GA, Danfoss VLT, Schneider Electric Altivar, WEG CFW and Toshiba applications are reviewed case by case.
Useful ownership and handoff
- Source files and controlled change records
- Electrical schematics and I/O lists
- Bills of materials (BOM)
- Control narratives and interface requirements
- Test plans, results and commissioning records
- Operating, recovery and handoff documentation as agreed
Common questions: Can you work with our existing version? Who receives the source files? How are legacy systems handled? What must be available before a shutdown? These questions are answered in each detailed service page and documented in the proposal before work begins.
View platforms, problems, deliverables and FAQs03 / A practical engagement
A visible path from question to next step.
Every engagement is different, but the decision path should be understandable. We begin with the minimum information needed, expose uncertainties early and agree on what will be produced and how it will be accepted before implementation grows.
Discover
We clarify the operating problem, stakeholders, equipment, constraints, available evidence and information that can be shared. Unknowns are recorded instead of converted into promises.
Define
You receive a proposed scope with assumptions, exclusions, interfaces, deliverables, acceptance criteria and the next decision. Platform and version compatibility are confirmed here.
Deliver & hand off
Work is executed against the agreed scope with controlled changes and planned testing, then documented for practical operation, maintenance and future support.
CONFIDENTIALITY / PRACTICAL BY DESIGN
Your work does not need to become our marketing.
We understand that facilities, control systems and project details can be sensitive or classified. We do not ask for public testimonials, photos or case-study rights as a condition of working together. Formal confidentiality terms can be established when the engagement requires them.
04 / Technical insight
Understand the interfaces
before connecting them.
INOVAX technical notes translate industrial-control topics into practical discovery questions, documentation requirements and implementation boundaries. They are educational resources, not substitutes for a site-specific engineering or cybersecurity assessment.
TECHNICAL NOTE / 01IT/OT convergence: a practical starting point
How asset inventory, communication flows, segmentation, remote access, testing and recovery planning help organizations connect operational data without ignoring reliability and safety.
04 / Let's talk
Start with what
you know today.
Describe the operating problem, affected equipment, objective, location and desired timing without sharing restricted material. A complete specification is not required for the first conversation; we can help identify the information needed to define a responsible next step.
