Capabilities

Built from the tag up.

From a troublesome loop to a complete facility monitoring system, we build automation around how the operation actually works.

01

PLC Programming and Controls

Programming, migrations, troubleshooting, and commissioning across multiple PLC platforms. We also connect equipment from different manufacturers so the complete process operates as one coordinated system.

Rockwell AutomationSiemensMulti vendor integration
02

SCADA and HMI Systems

Operator interfaces and browser based dashboards built across multiple HMI and SCADA platforms. Every screen is designed around clear navigation, dependable tag mapping, alarms, trends, reports, and the way operators actually run the facility.

IgnitionNode REDRed Lion and Maple
03

Remote Monitoring

Secure remote access, hosted operating views, alarm notifications, scheduled reports, and practical visibility from field devices to the people responsible for production.

TelemetryVPNCloud
04

Industrial Communications

Network architecture and protocol integration for PLCs, instruments, gateways, and servers. We diagnose communications problems and build resilient paths across mixed vendor systems.

EtherNet IPModbusMQTT and HART
05

Measurement and Reporting

Production data, well tests, tank levels, totals, downloadable reports, and dashboards that turn raw field values into useful operating information.

HistorianCSV ReportsProduction KPIs
06

Troubleshooting and Upgrades

Fast diagnosis of control, instrumentation, software, and network problems. We also plan and execute modernization projects that reduce downtime and simplify long term maintenance.

Field SupportUpgradesCommissioning

Complete project delivery

One team from the first hole to final startup.

RAM Automation is a full service industrial contractor built to carry a project beyond the controls cabinet. Our team coordinates civil work, mechanical and structural needs, electrical design, panel work, programming, commissioning, and ongoing field support.

Clients get one accountable group that understands how the structure, instruments, panels, networks, software, and operating process must work together.

01

Civil and Site Work

Excavation, trenching, foundations, conduit routes, equipment pads, and site preparation coordinated around the controls scope.

02

Mechanical and Structural

Mechanical coordination, equipment supports, fabricated assemblies, and certified structural packages developed with qualified engineering professionals.

03

Electrical and Panel Design

New control panel design, power distribution, I/O layouts, drawings, fabrication coordination, panel modifications, and field installation.

04

Programming and Integration

PLC, HMI, SCADA, telemetry, instrumentation, databases, reports, and communications brought together across multiple manufacturers.

05

Startup and Commissioning

Loop checks, point to point verification, controls testing, functional testing, operator training, documentation, and controlled startup support.

06

Field Service and Support

A team of programmers and technicians available for troubleshooting, maintenance, upgrades, emergency response, and the next phase of the facility.

IRAQ VETERAN OWNED

Leadership grounded in field experience.

Owner Jeff Ortiz brings more than 15 years of experience across the full path from entry level field work to controls engineering and foreman leadership. That background keeps every design focused on safe installation, practical operation, and what the people in the field actually need.

How we take care of our people

When one of us needs a hand, the whole crew shows up.

RAM Automation is family oriented at every level. Whether the team is solving a difficult startup or helping get the charcoal going at an employee's birthday cookout, our people pitch in and make sure nobody handles it alone. We believe taking care of each other creates a stronger team and better work for every customer.

Selected projects

Systems working in the real world.

Each project starts with the process and ends with a system the operations team can understand, maintain, and expand.

Multi facility monitoring and control

Production Operations SCADA

A secure operations platform that organizes an entire production facility into one clear view. Operators can monitor tank levels, separators, heaters, water systems, scrubbers, flares, pumps, communications, and active alarms without jumping between disconnected tools.

Built for configurable facilities, live equipment status, alarm management, trends, reports, role based access, and dependable communications from Allen Bradley controllers to the hosted application.

Production testing and reporting

Automated Well Test Management

A purpose built well testing workflow for starting, tracking, and reviewing multiple production tests. Operators select a configured well and duration while the system manages timing, cumulative oil, gas, and water volumes, and completed test records.

Includes configurable low flow protection, trip delays, automatic completion rules, historical test review, and CSV reporting so production teams get consistent results with less manual handling.

Instrumentation access and interlocking

HART Field Device Selector

A controlled way to connect one HART modem to multiple field instruments. The interface selects the required device through networked relay modules while clearly showing the active channel, relay health, connection state, and readback status.

Break before make logic verifies that every output is off before enabling a new channel. Emergency shutdown, user permissions, network setup, backup, and audit functions help keep field access controlled and repeatable.

Live monitoring and predictive modeling

Poseidon Flood Intelligence

A map based flood intelligence platform that combines live Hermes field stations with engineering models and weather information. Teams can see current water levels, station health, alarm conditions, forecast data, and vulnerable locations from one operating view.

The platform supports HEC RAS and TUFLOW model results, NOAA weather layers, predictive flood areas, location alerts, trends, communications diagnostics, and controlled engineering access for simulation and verification.

Configurable field data and control

Hermes Custom Edge Station

A customizable edge device that brings field instruments, local logic, communications, and secure remote visibility into one compact station. Hermes can be configured for each location instead of forcing every site into the same fixed design.

The web interface supports Modbus RTU and TCP devices, raw and scaled analog values, live data quality, output rules, alarm and horn settings, trends, CSV exports, protected configuration, downloadable backups, and MQTT publishing to a central application.

Industries

Field proven thinking.
Process first execution.

We work where uptime, safety, and clear information matter. Every screen, alarm, and line of logic should help the operation run better.

01

Oil and Gas

Tank batteries, SWDs, well pads, production measurement, pumping, separation, flares, and remote facilities.

02

Water and Wastewater

Pumps, tanks, lift stations, treatment processes, remote telemetry, alarming, and operator dashboards.

03

Industrial Process

Skids, packaging, utilities, process equipment, data collection, controls upgrades, and custom integration.
