Why VIR Automation

50+ Combined Years

Our engineering and partner team brings 50+ combined years of hands-on industrial controls experience across Allen-Bradley, Siemens, and Ignition SCADA platforms.

Compliance-First Engineering

Every control system we design is built around Title V, CAM, MACT, and EPA requirements — not just operational convenience.

Emergency Response

Available for rapid mobilization when a stack test fails, a valve sequences incorrectly, or a compliance deviation must be remediated before regulatory deadlines.

Nationwide Reach

Indiana-based, available nationwide for RTO OEM subcontracting, facility service, and remote PLC support.

Documented Handoff

Every project delivered with as-built I/O lists, commented PLC code, updated wiring references, and operator documentation.

TO/RTO Flagship Specialty

Full industrial controls firm where thermal oxidizer and RTO controls is the deepest, most proven practice area — a general IC firm with a flagship specialty.

Our Work

A few representative controls projects that show how we support industrial process equipment — from thermal oxidizers and RTOs to compliance-critical environmental systems.

Direct-Fired Thermal Oxidizer PLC Migration

Emergency Siemens S5 replacement for a flexible packaging facility, including NFPA 86-aligned burner management logic, HMI upgrades, and CAM data logging to restore operation fast.

RTO Valve Sequencing & Controls Upgrade

ControlLogix migration and sequence tuning for an automotive coating RTO that eliminated nuisance shutdowns, improved heat recovery, and reduced maintenance troubleshooting time.

RTO Compliance Data & Monitoring System

Ignition-based monitoring added continuous data capture, automated exceedance detection, and audit-ready reporting after a chemical coatings facility received a notice of violation.
