Instrumentation, Control & Automation (ICA)

Unitspark delivers integrated instrumentation, control, and automation solutions that improve operational reliability, optimise performance, and support critical infrastructure across the utilities and industrial sectors.

From routine calibration and equipment replacement through to the design of complex process instrumentation systems, we provide tailored solutions that integrate seamlessly with control and SCADA platforms. Our capabilities extend to civil and mechanical design for sampling systems, instrumentation kiosks, and associated infrastructure.

We design and manufacture control panels for a wide range of applications, built to operate reliably in demanding indoor and outdoor environments with appropriate ingress protection.

Our solutions support:

  • PLC, PC and SCADA-based control systems
  • Instrumentation and process control
  • Environmental systems (BMS & HVAC)
  • Telemetry and data logging interfaces
  • Local and remote control stations
  • Bespoke panel and kiosk solutions


Our experienced engineers deliver full installation, testing, and commissioning services, ensuring systems are safely integrated, fully functional, and optimised for long-term performance.

Telemetry

Unitspark provides scalable telemetry and remote monitoring solutions that enable clients to manage assets more effectively, improve visibility, and respond proactively to operational events.

From simple data logging installations to complex, multi-site systems operating across large geographical areas, we design and deliver solutions that are robust, secure, and fit for purpose.

We work across a wide range of communication technologies—including secure mobile (4G/5G) and broadband communications, alongside radio, satellite, and Wi-Fi—selecting the most appropriate approach to ensure reliable data transfer and cost-effective operation.

Our telemetry services include:

  • System design, feasibility studies, and site surveys
  • In-house production, assembly, and configuration
  • Installation, calibration, and commissioning
  • Secure data hosting, visualisation, and reporting
  • Ongoing maintenance, support, and 24/7 call-out


We deliver complete “sensor-to-screen” solutions, providing real-time insight and control across distributed assets.

Typical applications include:

  • Remote data capture and logging
  • Compliance monitoring and audit trails
  • Pollution prevention and environmental monitoring
  • Sewer flood prevention systems
  • Asset tracking and maintenance
  • Remote plant monitoring and early warning systems
  • Vendor-managed inventory and supply chain solutions

Systems Integration

Unitspark provides a complete systems integration service, bringing together control, instrumentation, networking, and software to deliver reliable, future-ready automation solutions.

Our engineers have extensive experience across major PLC and HMI platforms, industry-standard communication protocols, and modern development environments. Whether delivering small-scale modifications or full system upgrades, we focus on seamless integration, minimal disruption, and long-term performance.

Our systems integration services include:

  • Control system design and panel wiring
  • PLC and SCADA programming and configuration
  • Network design and integration (including Profibus, InterBus, ControlNet, DeviceNet, Ethernet, and Device Level Ring (DLR) architectures)
  • Industrial networking, including fibre optic installation, termination, and testing
  • Structured cabling and communications infrastructure
  • Testing, commissioning, and validation
  • SCADA integration, including mimic design, I/O configuration, and system optimisation

We specialise in delivering resilient industrial networks and communications infrastructure, supporting secure, high-availability systems across critical assets.
Unitspark also provides expert support for telemetry and SCADA projects, including on-site commissioning, configuration, upgrades, and ongoing optimisation.

We have a strong track record in delivering replacement and upgrade programmes, including legacy system migrations, control panel modifications, signal integration, and energy efficiency improvements—ensuring existing infrastructure continues to perform efficiently and reliably.

In addition, we offer bespoke software development services, including:

  • Web-based and desktop application development
    Database design and integration
  • Embedded and real-time systems
  • Third-party system integration and enhancement
