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.

Operational Support and Maintenance Services
Our operational support and maintenance services help keep critical OT and industrial control environments reliable, secure and available throughout their lifecycle. Through tailored support agreements, proactive maintenance, system audits, cyber security support and responsive engineering assistance, we help clients minimise downtime and manage ageing technology effectively.
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.
