Industrial Automation Programming Across All Major Platforms
Our programming team brings decades of experience creating PLC software and HMI graphics for industrial automation. From Siemens and Allen-Bradley to Mitsubishi and custom SCADA systems, we develop control solutions that optimise your operations and enhance visibility.
PLC Programming
Expert ladder logic and function block programming tailored to your processes, from simple sequences to complex multi-zone control systems.
HMI Graphics
Intuitive visual interfaces that make complex systems easy to monitor and control, with clear alarms and real-time data visualization.
System Integration
Seamless integration of PLCs with BMS temperature monitoring, refrigeration controls, SCADA systems, and enterprise-level reporting.
Training & Documentation
Comprehensive operator training and complete program documentation ensure your team can maintain and modify systems confidently.
Common PLC & SCADA Challenges
Outdated or poorly documented automation systems create real operational risks and missed opportunities for efficiency.
Outdated Control Systems
Legacy PLC programs that cannot accommodate new equipment, modern sensors, or enhanced control requirements without complete rewrites.
Poor Visibility & Monitoring
Limited or non-existent system monitoring making it extremely difficult to identify problems, track performance, or optimise operations effectively.
Undocumented Code
PLC programs with no documentation or comments making troubleshooting, modifications, and system upgrades extremely risky and time-consuming.
Integration Difficulties
Inability to connect modern sensors, monitoring systems, or enterprise software due to outdated protocols and closed proprietary systems.
Platform Lock-In
Proprietary systems that limit your options, make you dependent on single vendors, and prevent competitive pricing for upgrades and support.

Trusted by operations and engineering leaders across the UK
"I have worked with the team at JBB Electrical on a wide range of projects and reactive works for over 15 years. They consistently complete jobs to an excellent standard and are always a pleasure to deal with. Their technical knowledge is a huge benefit to both myself and my customers, and nothing is ever too much trouble for the team. They regularly go above and beyond, and I would not hesitate to recommend JBB Electrical"
Ian Ross
Service Manager, EJM
"The team at JBB Electrical have been integral to the implementation of the proof-of-concept large scale energy‑sharing district heating & cooling network at SmartParc’s food production campus in Derby. JBB’s wealth of knowledge and experience in industrial controls and automation helped integrate the multiple systems and platforms required for seamless control and monitoring of the energy centre plant and park network. JBB have also secured and successfully delivered the electrical subcontract works associated with the industrial cooling installations for all tenants on the park thus far. All under competitive tender and ambitious installation programmes. All projects have been completed on time, within budget and to the highest quality standards. I can highly recommend JBB as partner of choice for complex industrial electrical and automation projects."
