Trusted Automation & Control for the Energy and Infrastructure Sector
ITS delivers industrial automation, control and safety-critical engineering services for the UK’s evolving energy and infrastructure landscape.
As a trusted and leading System Integrator within the UK, we design and integrate resilient control systems and automation solutions for high-risk infrastructure. From data centres and HV substations through to renewable energy generation and energy storage.
Our work supports major projects across the lifecycle, from front-end design through to detailed design, manufacture, site integration and commissioning. Whether delivering SCADA integration for digital substation automation, PLC solutions for battery storage, or control system panels for large-scale facilities, we help clients build systems that are secure, compliant and built to last.
Our Expertise in Energy and Infrastructure
Energy infrastructure is changing rapidly, but the same challenges remain: complex integration, stringent safety requirements and the need to move away from ageing technology before it fails.
Many operators still run legacy Industrial Control Systems (ICS) until breakdown forces urgent replacement, creating downtime, risk and cost.
ITS takes a collaborative approach. We don’t simply install a specification, we review it, challenge it where needed and ensure the final solution is safe, compliant and fit for purpose.
Our teams deliver robust solutions across Operational Technology (OT) environments, including functional safety systems, integrated control systems and secure data and network design.
SERVICES
Regulated Industry Automation Solutions for Energy and Infrastructure
01
Business Operational Solutions
We support energy operators with operational systems that improve visibility, reliability and performance across complex infrastructure. From asset monitoring to performance reporting, our solutions help clients maintain control over critical operations and improve efficiency, including KPI and OEE insight where required.

Management Information Systems
Real-time visibility is essential in modern energy environments. ITS delivers MIS solutions that connect field operations to dashboards and reporting tools, enabling better decision-making across substations, storage sites, and generation assets. This often includes data historian / historian platforms to capture and trend operational data over time.
MORE INFO03
Process Control Systems
We design and integrate robust process control systems for safety-critical energy applications. This includes PLC, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) and Distributed Control System (DCS) integration across wind farms, solar installations, substations and large energy infrastructure. Where required, we also support ICSS architectures and integration with vendor platforms.

Project Management & Engineering Services
Our teams deliver projects from concept through to manufacture, integration and site commissioning, ensuring every stage is documented, tested, and quality-assured. We also support regulated environments with CSV (Computer System Validation) where applicable, ensuring systems meet compliance expectations and remain audit-ready.
MORE INFO05
Robotic and Vision Systems
As the sector adopts smarter monitoring and automation, ITS supports advanced digital tools for inspection, performance monitoring, and operational efficiency across energy environments. This includes integrating data layers from OT systems into dashboards and analytics platforms to support better operational decisions.
MORE INFO06
Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
We provide long-term lifecycle support through tailored SLAs, proactive maintenance, audits, and responsive engineering assistance. This helps keep critical OT and industrial control systems environments reliable, secure and compliant over time.
MORE INFOA Trusted System Integrator for Modern Energy Infrastructure
The UK energy sector is entering a major delivery phase. Data centres are expanding rapidly, battery energy storage systems (BESS) are being deployed alongside wind and solar farms and substations are becoming increasingly digitally automated.
ITS is focused on large-scale, high-value infrastructure projects where correct system integration matters. We support clients in getting the fundamentals right early, selecting the right architecture, ensuring the correct control system design and avoiding costly integration mistakes that often appear later in delivery.
A key challenge in the sector is that projects can’t progress without grid connection, which creates delays and uncertainty. Another common issue is poor design and integration, where systems are installed “to spec” without proper challenge or engineering review.
We’re often brought in to fix or upgrade systems that weren’t designed correctly in the first place, particularly where safety, reliability, or scalability have been overlooked.
