Modernization and Industry 4.0
Build the next capability on a dependable foundation.
Modernize legacy controls. Connect useful operating data. Build toward Industry 4.0 in phases that fit the operation.
01
Modernize critical systems
Review obsolete controls, supportability, backups and system dependencies. Sequence migrations around operating constraints and recovery needs.
02
Connect the operation
Establish OT/IT interfaces and IIoT data flows. Connect SCADA, historian and applicable MES/OEE information with the decisions they support.
03
Expand with evidence
Begin with one production, maintenance or reporting use case. Verify data quality, operator readiness and acceptance before extending automation or AI.
Ways to work together
The right engagement for the decision in front of you.
Focused review
Clarify one controls risk, AI use case, vendor proposal or business process before committing to a build.

Explore the JumpstartAutomation leadership
Keep standards, vendors, acceptance decisions and your automation roadmap moving.
Explore the serviceHow the work starts
Define the problem before choosing the build.
A focused review may be enough. A broader operation may need the 21-Day Automation Jumpstart or ongoing automation leadership. Each engagement has a defined boundary, inputs, acceptance criteria, and handoff.
Define
Name the problem, sponsor, decision, and boundary.
Review
Examine the records, systems, and people needed to understand it.
Act
Deliver the review, roadmap, pilot, or workflow with a clear next action.

A few practical answers.
Do you implement AI or only advise?
DDG Automation provides assessment, automation strategy and scoped implementation. Each engagement connects a business priority to the systems, data and acceptance criteria needed to deliver it.
Do I need a full plant assessment?
No. A defined problem, proposal, or handoff may be the right starting point.
What should I bring to the fit call?
Bring one problem, who owns the decision, and what happens if it remains unresolved.
Bring one problem.
Let's define the next step.
