Embedded Control Engineering Services
Embedded Process Control Engineers from Cross Company
With the market tighter than ever, it’s become less and less realistic to have a control engineer or systems programmer permanently on staff. And with more and more process systems programmers retiring every year, it’s becoming an increasingly difficult role to fill. We’ve often seen this role permanently vacant.
But that doesn’t mean that the skills to troubleshoot and program PLC and SCADA systems aren’t still needed. That’s where Cross Company’s Process Solutions group comes in.
We can offer service contracts with preset hours, offering process plants and maintenance teams the exact amount of control engineering services they need. Or, for larger operations requiring frequent maintenance, a full-time embedded programmer.

How We Get It Right Every Time
Successfully executing a complex project like process control system upgrades, legacy control system migration, greenfield integration, or control system design takes more than guesswork. At Cross Company, we don’t believe in a “see what happens” approach.
That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive project execution model to ensure every project flows perfectly, no matter the scope.
From Basis of Design (BOD) and/or Functional Design Specification (FDS) to Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) to Start-Up and Commissioning, we detail and document every step of the process. That way, your project goes exactly as expected.
We can even provide initial documentation as a separate offering. Take a look at the full model or contact Cross Company’s Process Solutions group to learn more.
