Services

Mission Controls is, above all other things, a service company. Our most common work scenario involves helping process and manufacturing plants resolve issues and improve their standing in their marketplace.

Our System Engineering and Process Engineering services extend from a simple, quick solution for a maintenance issue over the telephone, to the design of whole plant automation controls and processing systems. Mission Controls is an engineering firm, and our solutions are carefully constructed using advanced engineering precepts. Mission Controls engineers are famous in our marketplace, and the proof of their value is in the pleased greetings they receive when they walk into a plant.

Information Services are those activities involving the gathering, management, and use of plant information.Mission Controls Information Services people, with our own patented product, Epiphany, or with solid utilization of the latest available database and software technology, collect, organize, distribute and archive information that makes a difference in your decision-making.

Robotics is one of our fastest-growing service arenas. The installation of robotic systems to perform constantly repetitive, hazardous, or heavy work can release plant people to train for more technical tasks. Mission Controls Robotics division can design, engineer, fabricate, install, program and integrate entirely new robotic systems using either robots fashioned in our own shop, or off-the-shelf robotic components. We also provide robotic system maintenance and upgrade services.

Mission Controls leads the industry in several important aspects of Process Design. Mission Controls utilizes its advanced 3D Virtual Process Design system to prove the design, and to communicate the design to the customer in a format that answers questions before they become stainless steel issues. Furthermore, Mission Controls fabricates complete systems in its Costa Mesa shop facility, and then completely tests each system and all its programming before it is delivered.

Human-Machine-Interfaces (HMI’s) have improved significantly in recent years in their ability to provide finite control of plant activities in either manual or automatic modes. Mission Controls has developed standards of HMI design that are currently at work in plants coast-to-coast. We believe HMI screens should make control simple, sure, and positive. If your requirements include HMI development, we can help.

Mission Controls Field Technicians are our front line. Our techs spend time on your plant floors, speaking with your operators and maintenance people, working out the exact solutions to electrical, installation, air, mechanical, pneumatic or other issues. Working closely with Mission Controls engineers, our field technicians throw the switch and make it happen.

Mission Controls maintains a fully equipped, permanently staffed UL 508A panel shop at its Santa Ana headquarters. Our panel shop is completely owned and operated by Mission Controls. The panels we make are carefully engineered for each specific project or panel order.

From time to time it is appropriate and necessary that someone from "the outside" take a look at a system or process, to provide visionary or corrective opinion. Our President, Mr. Craig Nelson, is internationally known for his ability to see the issues clearly in virtually any automation or process environment, and to project solutions that work. His consulting approach is positive, low-key, unerringly precise and accurate, and often visionary. If it’s time for you to stand back and take another look, shoulder to shoulder with a trustworthy advisor, ask for Craig.
