Charge Board — Six Heat Lots

Services from the INTLDVS LLC Integration Shop

INTLDVS LLC designs and integrates control, data and automation systems for industrial and enterprise operators from Payson, Utah, at 1022 S 580 W, Payson - 84651-3800, United States (US). The six services below are the heat lots we run. They can be delivered as a single program or selected individually when your team already covers part of the work. Every lot ends with documentation, verification and a support path for your own staff.

Systems Architecture Design

Systems Architecture Design is where every engagement begins. We take your operating goals and translate them into a concrete architecture that names the device layer, the network layer, the data layer and the software layer, then defines how each one talks to the next. Control devices are identified by function and location, network segments are drawn with their boundaries and trust levels, data flows are traced from their source tags to their consumers, and software services are described with their interfaces and failure modes. Nothing is left as an assumption to be discovered during commissioning.

The deliverable is a document set your engineers can actually use: an architecture narrative in plain English, an interface register with one row per connection, a network topology drawing, and a decision log that records why each significant choice was made. That log matters when a vendor proposes a shortcut two years later, because it shows what the trade-off was the first time. We also identify the points of internal stress in the design, the places where a single component carries too much responsibility, and we resolve them before they become production incidents.

Because architecture decisions constrain everything downstream, we treat this lot as the soak stage of the whole program. Designs are reviewed with your operators, not just with your engineers, since the people who live with the system every shift usually see the problems first. What comes out of the review is an architecture that is defensible, documented and buildable.

Integration Program Management

Integration Program Management keeps many moving parts from becoming many separate disasters. Large integrations involve your staff, multiple equipment vendors, network teams, software suppliers and often a general contractor. Without a single controlling schedule and a single risk register, these parties work at cross purposes and the cutover date drifts. We take that coordination role and hold it for the life of the program.

In practice this means we run milestone planning, interface freeze points, vendor workshops and staged cutover rehearsals. We maintain a risk register that names each risk, its owner, its trigger and its mitigation, and we review it on a fixed cadence so nothing rots unnoticed. We track the dependencies that cross organizational boundaries, such as a network change owned by one team that blocks a controller integration owned by another, and we escalate early rather than late.

We also prepare the rollback plans. Every cutover step has a defined reverse action and an acceptance test, so your operations team knows exactly when to proceed and when to retreat. That structure turns a high-stress cutover night into a scheduled, rehearsed event. When the program closes, you receive a complete record of what changed, who approved it and how it was verified.

Industrial Automation Interfaces

Industrial Automation Interfaces is the craft work of the shop. Programmable controllers, variable frequency drives, remote input and output racks, safety systems, supervisory control software and plant-floor networks each speak their own dialect, and a working plant needs them to exchange exactly the right data in exactly the right direction. We build the interface layer that makes this happen reliably and that keeps every signal traceable to a responsible owner.

Our interface work covers protocol mapping in both directions, tag naming conventions that stay consistent across vendors, and fault handling that tells a human what actually failed instead of presenting a generic alarm. We keep a clear separation between control data that affects the process and diagnostic data that only informs it, because confusing the two is how small misreadings turn into large downtime. Where a legacy device only offers a serial protocol or a proprietary poll, we translate it at the edge rather than forcing a wholesale replacement.

Everything we build is tested against the physical reality of your equipment. We verify signals at the source, confirm scaling and units, and document the mapping so your maintenance technicians can diagnose a fault without reverse engineering someone else design. The interface register produced here becomes the reference your plant relies on for years.

Data Platform Engineering

Data Platform Engineering turns the raw chatter of the plant floor into information that people can act on. Modern operations generate more signals than any spreadsheet or ad hoc report can hold, and the value is lost when that information sits stranded in separate systems. We engineer the pipelines, historians and reporting layers that collect operational data once, store it with clear structure, and publish it to the people who need it.

Our data platforms are built around governance from the first day. We define what is collected, how long it is retained, who can read it and how it is corrected when a sensor drifts. Retention rules honor both operational need and legal obligation, and access control is explicit rather than inherited by accident. We avoid duplication, which is the quiet killer of data programs, by designing a single authoritative source for each measurement and a clear path to every downstream consumer.

The consumer side is just as carefully built. Operators get dashboards that reflect the current shift, engineers get historical trends for analysis, and management gets summaries aligned to reporting periods. Because the same underlying data feeds all three, the numbers agree with one another and arguments about which report is correct simply stop.

Security Hardening Reviews

Security Hardening Reviews treat the controls network as a production asset that must be defended, because an integrated plant is an exposed plant. As soon as field devices, business systems and remote access paths are connected, the attack surface grows, and controls environments are often less protected than the office network next door. Our review examines the controls network, the data boundary and the remote access paths that join them, then produces concrete remediation that respects uptime.

We begin by establishing what is actually connected, since undocumented links are the most common finding. Then we assess segmentation between control and business zones, review account and credential practices, examine remote maintenance paths, and check patch and backup discipline against operational reality. Every finding is rated by exploitation likelihood and process impact so your team can fix the urgent items first without disrupting production.

The output is a work queue, not a shelf ornament. Each finding carries an owner, a recommended fix, an acceptance test and a target window that fits your outage schedule. We are equally comfortable hardening a single new integration before it goes live and revisiting an existing plant that has grown organically for a decade.

Managed Modernization Roadmaps

Managed Modernization Roadmaps exist because most operators cannot stop the line to rebuild their systems. Obsolete controllers, unsupported software and aging data platforms accumulate until they become a business risk, yet the plant must keep producing throughout. We build a staged roadmap that retires the risk across planned outages while keeping every step reversible and every legacy dependency documented.

A roadmap starts with a complete inventory of what is installed, what still has vendor support, and what is on a countdown to failure. From that inventory we sequence the replacements so that no step leaves the plant depending on a component that has already been removed. Each tranche is priced and scheduled against realistic outage windows, and it carries its own success criteria so progress is visible rather than theoretical.

We also manage the human side of modernization. Operators are trained ahead of the cutover, temporary bridges keep old and new systems in step during the transition, and a decommissioning record closes out each retired asset. The end state is a plant whose controls and data systems are current, supported and documented, reached without a single unplanned production stoppage.

INTLDVS LLC opens its winter integration soak window, scheduling architecture, interface and hardening work so that each heat lot cools steady before the next production cycle begins.

How We Run a Charge

Charge

We meet your operations and engineering teams to establish what the system must do, what it must never do, and how success will be measured in production.

Soak

We design, review and stress the architecture until the weak points surface on paper, where they are cheapest to correct and safest to change.

Cool

We commission in deliberate, reversible stages, watching data and fault logs as each stage settles before advancing to the next.

Ship

We hand over documentation, training and a support path so your own staff can run, diagnose and extend the system with confidence.

Bring Us a Charge

Whether you need a single interface rebuilt or a full modernization roadmap, the first step is the same conversation about what the system must achieve. Tell us about your plant, your devices and your constraints, and we will tell you which heat lot to run first and why.
