Properly testing a control system throughout software development — and upon completion — is critical to providing a quality product. We understand this means having the proper PLC, HMI, networking, and computer hardware and software on hand, so we have invested heavily in the latest automation hardware and software to accommodate our customers.
We also maintain a large inventory of older and even obsolete equipment and software to serve our customers on their existing fleet of legacy systems.
Standardizing how we plan, execute, and document our projects pays huge dividends for our customers in cost savings and efficiency. By nature we are a custom software and control system provider, so our projects are almost always different — but we still standardize wherever it makes sense.
We use Smartsheet to manage project progress in real time, giving our team and customers instant visibility into schedules, milestones, documents, and key decisions. For time, expenses, and project financials, we rely on Deltek Vantagepoint — ensuring accurate tracking and a complete picture of every project's performance.
Based in Houston, we are no stranger to hurricanes and other acts of God. To mitigate this risk, our staff are equipped with state-of-the-art laptops and VPN access to work remotely, we maintain backup generation capacity for power outages, and all company and customer project data (approximately 50 terabytes) is stored both on local servers and offsite to prevent data loss.
At Lone Star Controls, our customer relationships are at the heart of everything we do. Clear, consistent communication keeps those relationships strong, and we've built our workflow around making project information accessible, transparent, and always up to date.
Our quality program is essentially hiring qualified, experienced people, focusing them on the customer, and giving them the tools they need to succeed. Whether on a factory acceptance test or commissioning on site, our team brings the preparation, technical expertise, and attitude that keeps projects on schedule.
