Test and Measurement Automation for Data-Driven Systems
At Hallfield Controls, we provide test and measurement automation support for customers who need more than basic machine controls. We work with electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, and procurement teams on custom systems where process control, measurement accuracy, data collection, and reporting all need to work together.
Whether you are developing a new test bench, upgrading an existing validation system, or defining requirements for a specialized application, we provide the controls engineering and technical clarity needed to move the project toward installation and commissioning.
Engineering Support for Complex Testing Applications
Test and measurement systems often require a different level of technical definition than standard automation projects. In these applications, the process matters, but so do sensor accuracy, traceability, data handling, and how results are captured and reported.
Hallfield Controls supports customers with engineering and design, programming, build support, and commissioning for systems that must perform reliably while producing meaningful data. That includes both new equipment and add-ons to existing systems where controls, instrumentation, and reporting need to work as one solution.
All systems are engineered to strict compliance benchmarks, including NFPA 70 (Industrial Machinery), long before design and build begin. We maintain complete hardware flexibility, perfectly marrying high-speed National Instruments data acquisition with PC-based control and rugged plant automation architectures like Allen-Bradley, Siemens, and GE.
Data Acquisition, Reporting, and System Integration
We engineer comprehensive data architectures to ensure your automated test setups deliver the absolute accuracy, traceability, and seamless connectivity your operations demand.
We build test and measurement automation around both PLC/HMI-based and PC-based control systems. Data collection ranges from individual data points and slow-moving transients to high-speed acquisition utilizing dedicated hardware like National Instruments.
We structure data pipelines to fit your operational needs, supporting formats including CSV, JSON, XML, PDF, Microsoft Access, SQL Server, or your existing custom workflows.
Our team integrates directly with your reporting utilities, database systems, and automated output processes to align seamlessly with your facility’s current validation or production environment.
Practical Experience Across Test Applications
Hallfield Controls’ background in test and measurement began with fluid control systems and production test benches and has expanded into a wide range of applications. Our experience includes:
- NRTL Standards testing for new product validation
- EOL testing for refrigeration manufacturing
- EOL sensor calibration
- Relief valve testing
- Regulator testing
- Solenoid valve testing
- Pressure gauge testing
- Cycle testing
- Proof & burst testing
We also support customers whose existing test methodologies, infrastructure, or reporting requirements influence the best automation path forward. That practical engineering perspective helps reduce project risk and improve long-term usability.
