SPRING AUTOMATION
NASHVILLE, TN — SINCE 2015
Control Systems Engineered Around How Your Operation Actually Runs
PLC programming, HMI development, SCADA, and electrical design engineered specifically for high-performance material handling operations.
Most controls problems don’t appear during startup. They show up months later when throughput increases, equipment is added, or operators begin working around system limitations. That’s when the gap between what the controls were designed to do and what the operation needs becomes clear.
Since 2015, Spring Automation has engineered controls systems for parcel, warehousing, distribution, manufacturing, and e-commerce facilities. We build systems that are reliable, scalable, and maintainable long after commissioning.
Controls Engineering Built for Reliable, Scalable Operations
Our Approach
Every project begins with listening. We take time to understand your facility layout, throughput goals, and operational challenges before writing a single line of code. The result is a controls strategy that's tailored — not templated — built around your specific needs and designed for long-term success.
We maintain clear communication throughout the project lifecycle, providing documentation, training, and ongoing support so your team feels confident managing the system long after commissioning.
Interlocked & Communication
Equipment Controlled
When Your Controls System Can't Keep Up with Your Operation
Every control system works well on day one.
The real test comes months—or even years—later, when production increases, new equipment is added, and operational demands change. A control system that once supported the operation can gradually become the reason it slows down.
Maybe a new WMS was implemented. Throughput doubled. Additional conveyor zones were added. Or the maintenance team inherited a system they didn’t build.
Suddenly, operators are working around alarms instead of trusting them. Troubleshooting depends on one person who understands the logic. Simple modifications take days because no one knows how the system was programmed. What started as a reliable system has become difficult to maintain, expand, and support.
These challenges aren’t caused by the technology itself—they’re usually the result of controls engineering that was designed only for startup, not for long-term operation.
That’s why every engineering decision matters. Well-structured PLC code, intuitive HMI screens, organized electrical documentation, and scalable system architecture make it easier to troubleshoot, expand, and support the system for years after commissioning.
METHODOLOGY
Our Engineering Process: From Discovery to Commissioning
Discover
Understand operations, throughput goals, constraints, and future growth.
Building Controls Systems That Stay Useful
Built to Scale
Designed for future expansion—not just today’s throughput.
Built to Maintain
Clear documentation, organized logic, and intuitive HMIs reduce downtime.
Built for Long-Term ROI
Lower maintenance costs, faster troubleshooting, and fewer engineering hours over the life of the system.
MATERIAL HANDLING
Engineering Built Around Your Operation
Material handling environments demand more than technical expertise—they require operational understanding. Every conveyor, sorter, scanner, robot, and software platform must work together to keep products moving safely and efficiently.
Because Spring Automation focuses on material handling, we understand the challenges that come with: high-throughput operations, peak season demand, system expansion and scalability, software integration, maintenance-friendly controls, and long-term system support.
