About Featured Expert: E Tech Group

E Tech Group are global industry experts in automation engineering, control system integration, industrial information systems, robotics and IT/OT integration. Its engineering capabilities extend across continuous, batch and discrete manufacturing, bringing together process automation, machine control, industrial software, manufacturing data and the infrastructure required to support connected operations.

The company works across distributed control systems, S88 batch control, PLC, HMI and SCADA platforms, motion control, specialty drive systems, robotic automation, MES and MOM, manufacturing intelligence, industrial IT, cybersecurity, safety systems, and control-panel design and fabrication. Its two U.S. UL508A panel fabrication facilities support panel engineering, assembly, testing, installation and commissioning as part of wider automation programs.

E Tech Group provides engineering and information-technology services throughout the project lifecycle, from front-end planning, system architecture and detailed design through software development, implementation, validation, commissioning and long-term technical support. Its vendor-agnostic approach allows control, software and data technologies to be selected around the process, installed base, regulatory requirements and operating standards of each facility.

E-Tech-Group-Logo-Featured-Expert-Industrial-Automation-MonthlyLegacy modernization is also an important part of this work. E Tech Group supports control-system assessments, platform upgrades, SCADA migrations, industrial-network improvements and phased implementation programs designed around active production. Projects may involve replacing aging PLC, HMI or historian platforms, improving cybersecurity and system resilience, or establishing a stronger data foundation for MES, analytics and wider digital-transformation initiatives.

For manufacturers operating across multiple sites, E Tech Group can develop common engineering standards, reusable architectures and coordinated deployment strategies while accounting for differences in equipment, processes and local operating requirements. This enterprise-level work reflects its Main Automation Partner model, which considers automation, control and intelligence requirements at both plant and corporate levels.

In addition, the company’s MES, MOM and manufacturing-intelligence capabilities connect plant-floor systems with production, quality and enterprise information. SCADA, historian and advanced software applications provide additional context across equipment, lines and facilities, while industrial IT and IT/OT assessment services address networking, virtualization, security, data availability and system recovery.  E Tech Group supports life sciences, food and beverage, consumer products, metals and mining, material handling, advanced materials, automotive, chemical, marine, water and utilities, and mission-critical facilities. Its life-sciences organization alone includes more than 200 engineers and supports more than 200 validated projects annually across biotechnology, pharmaceutical and medical-device environments.

Founded in 1993, E Tech Group has grown through organic expansion and the integration of specialist engineering and system-integration organizations. The company now has more than 700 team members across more than 30 global locations and is the first CSIA Enterprise Certified system integrator.
