Design. Build. Integrate.
Our staff covers a project from concept to completion, so there is one party responsible for whether the system works.
Design
Detailed quotations, complete submittal packages and custom electrical drawings before anything is built.
Build
PLC panels assembled by our own electricians, pre-tested as a full system in our Columbus shop, then installed by our field crews.
Integrate
Our programmers tie doors, video, intercom and access into one screen, then train your staff and hand over as-builts.
What we build on.
Industry-standard platforms from manufacturers with national distribution and long product lifecycles.
PLC logic
ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers run the locking control logic, interlocks and emergency release.
Touch screens
Every control screen is designed and programmed by AE in AVEVA InTouch HMI (Wonderware).
Intercom and paging
Harding digital intercom exchanges and master stations, integrated with doors and cameras.
PACSystems controllers
We program and service Emerson (formerly GE) PACSystems RX3i controllers in facilities that run on them.
Video and card access
Genetec video management and card access, unified with the control room screens.
Cameras and access
Avigilon camera systems and card access for housing, perimeter and administration areas.
Lock retrofits
The Willo Wedge lock box, for converting existing cell doors to new electronic locks.
Product names and logos are trademarks of their respective owners.
Certified on the platforms we install
AE has been a registered Wonderware system integrator since 2011 and maintains current certifications in Wonderware InTouch HMI and Harding Instruments IP digital intercom systems. Allen-Bradley (Rockwell) and Emerson (GE) PLC platforms are our specialty.
Built and pre-tested in Columbus
Control systems are assembled and tested as a complete system at our Columbus facility before they go to site. Problems are found on our bench, so installation inside a secure facility is shorter and more predictable.
Non-proprietary by design
The AE detention control system uses Rockwell Allen-Bradley PLCs and AVEVA InTouch (Wonderware) software as its foundation. Every component is readily available from distributors around the country, so your facility is never dependent on a single vendor for parts or support.
Over 30 years with PLCs
AE's key technical personnel have been designing, building, programming and installing PLC controlled systems for more than 30 years, from transfer line retrofits for Honda Manufacturing to state prison locking control retrofits running more than 30 touch screens.
