Controls Engineering Solutions
Controls Engineers base their work on logic. Components are specified based on the task at hand, company or customer standards, as well as a host of other factors. Maximum efficiency can be achieved by automating design and drafting tasks and providing data to shop personnel, purchasing, and customers.
What is Controls Engineering?
Controls Engineering focuses on designing and integrating systems to automate industrial equipment and processes. It ensures machines operate safely, efficiently, and with minimal downtime across manufacturing and production environments.
Why It Matters
- Automate repetitive, manual processes to reduce labor costs
- Minimize downtime and improve response times with real-time monitoring
- Increase product consistency and reduce human error
- Ensure compliance with safety and industry standards
- Enable data-driven decision making through a connected system

A Dedicated Controls Engineering Team for Your Project
Hagerman & Company has a dedicated Controls Engineering Team that is committed to assisting in all aspects of controls design, a specialty that is unique in our industry. Our team will closely study your workflows and requirements, create an implementation plan, and project the ROI necessary to justify your project.
Our controls design and documentation services can encompass any of the following:
- PFD/P&ID
- Electrical Schematics
- Single Line Drawings
- Pneumatic/Hydraulics
- Control Panels, Junction boxes and manifolds
Our process begins with a discovery call to discuss your specific design needs. Following that conversation we will recommend the best course of action, which could include an audit to review your software implementation, training (basic, advanced or custom), a path to implement standards, or software configuration to best meet your design and documentation requirements.

Electrical Environment Connection
The Hagerman & Company Controls Engineering Team has developed the Electrical Environment Connection app to provide an easy to use, graphical interface to create and edit AutoCAD Electrical environment files.
AutoCAD Electrical uses an Environment file (.ENV) to point to the locations of templates, symbols, reports, and many other configurable aspects of AutoCAD Electrical. The .ENV file is a text file that many find difficult to understand, edit, and manage multiple files as needed for various design standards. The Electrical Environment Connection App saves time and simplifies the task of editing and managing these files.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have Questions? We are here to help
Can Controls Engineering Solutions work with legacy equipment?
Yes! In many cases, we can retrofit or upgrade existing equipment with modern control systems, improving performance without requiring complete hardware replacement.
What's the benefit of outsourcing control engineering instead of hiring in-house?
Outsourcing provides access to a broader skill set, faster implementation, and less risk during system upgrades or integrations. It's especially valuable when internal resources are limited or already focused on production.
Can controls engineering solutions help with safety compliance?
Absolutely! Control systems are critical for the implementation of machine safety features like interlocks, emergency stops, and lockout/tagout logic. We help ensure your automation systems align with regulatory safety standards.
