Industries

San Juan Basin · Four Corners · Field-ready controls

Automation built for the industries that run this region.

Edwards Automation and Design designs, programs, and builds control systems for operators who cannot afford guesswork. PLC panels, VFD packages, HMI/SCADA, classified-location builds, and PMP-led project management in-house, not brokered out.

Industries we serve

Sector problems. Control-room answers.

What we build when the well, the pump, the belt, or the plant is on the line.

Oil & Gas

Production, midstream, and well-site controls that stay online.

San Juan Basin operators need panels and code that survive weather, classified areas, and 24/7 production. We design and build the systems that run wellpads, tank batteries, compression, LACT skids, vapor recovery, and transfer points then we stand behind the startup.

Typical work

  • Wellpad / production PLC and RTU panels
  • LACT and custody-transfer controls
  • VRU, compressor, and pump VFD packages
  • SCADA / HMI for remote pads
  • Classified-location enclosures

Problems we solve

  • Nuisance trips and undocumented logic
  • Aging panels that fail inspection
  • No visibility from town to the pad
  • Outage windows measured in hours, not weeks

Agriculture

Irrigation, pumping, and facility controls that save water and power.

Pivot systems, lift stations, grain and feed facilities, and livestock buildings all live or die on reliable motor control. We build VFD-driven pumping, sequenced starts, and operator-friendly HMIs so the operation is not dependent on one person who “knows the panel.”

Typical work

  • Irrigation pump and VFD panels
  • Well and lift-station automation
  • Facility motor control and starters
  • Simple SCADA for spread-out acreage
  • Seasonal service and panel upgrades

Problems we solve

  • Pumps that slam on and burn energy
  • No soft-start, no interlocks, no alarms
  • Panels that cannot be serviced locally
  • Water and power waste across long laterals

Mining

Rugged motor control for conveyors, pumps, and plant auxiliaries.

Mining in New Mexico and the Four Corners is dust, vibration, water, and long cable runs. We design panels and programs for material handling, dewatering, and plant utilities with documentation a maintenance crew can actually use.

Typical work

  • Conveyor and crusher motor control
  • Dewatering and slurry pump VFDs
  • Plant utility and MCC upgrades
  • Interlocks, e-stops, and safety circuits
  • Dusty / wash-down enclosure spec

Problems we solve

  • Nuisance faults from dirty or hot panels
  • Undocumented field modifications
  • Motors that cannot be started softly
  • No spare I/O when the plant expands

Water & Wastewater

Lift stations, treatment trains, and plants that stay in permit.

Municipal and industrial water systems here deal with flash events, agricultural runoff, and tight EPA / NMED expectations. We program and build the PLC, VFD, and SCADA layer that sequences pumps, records what inspectors need, and keeps operators from running the plant from a clipboard.

Typical work

  • Lift station duplex / triplex controls
  • Treatment process PLC and HMI
  • VFD-driven pumping and aeration
  • SCADA, alarming, and historian hooks
  • Panel replacements without a plant outage

Problems we solve

  • Overflow risk from failed level logic
  • No remote alarm when a station floods
  • Unreadable or unsupported legacy HMIs
  • Compliance data that is not captured

How a project usually runs

Design. Build. Program. Commission.

One shop. One set of drawings. One phone number when the panel is on the wall.

  1. 01
    Scope the process

    Site conditions, I/O, classified areas, and the outage window.

  2. 02
    Engineer the package

    CAD, BOM, UL / classified spec, and PLC/HMI architecture.

  3. 03
    Build in Farmington

    In-house panel shop — not a catalog box with a sticker.

  4. 04
    Start it up

    Programming, commissioning, and documentation the next tech can follow.

Have a panel, a pad, or a plant that needs work?

Call during business hours for the fastest response. First-time emails are easier to prioritize if you leave a voicemail.
