We Fix It Right
Our reputation is built on solving problems correctly. We identify root causes and provide lasting solutions instead of temporary fixes and repeat service visits.
Automation Solutions Built for Illinois Industry
Britton Electronics & Automation, Inc. provides industrial automation, PLC programming, SCADA systems, control panel design, and system integration services throughout Illinois. From water and wastewater facilities to power generation and industrial manufacturing, we help customers keep critical systems operating safely, reliably, and efficiently.
Effective automation requires more than programming a controller or installing a control panel. It requires understanding how the facility operates, how operators use the system, and how equipment will be maintained long after startup. Whether modernizing aging infrastructure, troubleshooting a difficult control problem, or designing a complete system from the ground up, BEA brings practical field experience to every project.
Our customers trust us with facilities that cannot afford unnecessary downtime. We solve difficult problems, deliver dependable systems, and support our work throughout the complete life of the installation.
When you need support, we're here. From emergency service calls to long-term modernization projects, BEA helps keep your operation running today while preparing it for tomorrow.
Experience That Matters
Why BEA?
Our customers do not hire us simply because we can program a PLC. They hire us because we solve problems, reduce downtime, and stand behind our work long after startup is complete.
Trusted Across Illinois
From municipalities to manufacturing plants, BEA has earned a reputation as the team customers call when a difficult problem must be solved correctly.
Full Lifecycle Support
We design, build, install, commission, maintain, modernize, and decommission automation systems. One team supports the complete life of the project.
Responsive Field Support
When critical systems fail, downtime is not an option. Our team responds quickly to restore operations, limit losses, and get production moving again.
Built by Field Engineers
The people designing your system also understand installation, commissioning, troubleshooting, and long-term maintenance because they have done the work themselves.
Vendor-Neutral Solutions
We recommend equipment based on what works best for your facility. Experience across multiple platforms allows us to support existing systems and avoid unnecessary replacement.
40 Years in Illinois Industry
Four decades of field experience have shown us what works, what fails, and how to build systems that remain reliable and maintainable for years.
Practical Solutions
Our recommendations focus on reliability, maintainability, and long-term value rather than unnecessary complexity or technology selected only because it is new.
No Handoffs. No Excuses.
We do not design a system and disappear. Our team remains involved through installation, programming, commissioning, training, and continued support.
