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 treatment and wastewater facilities to power generation and industrial manufacturing, we help customers keep critical systems operating safely, reliably, and efficiently.
Automation is more than programming a PLC or installing a new control panel. It's understanding how a facility operates, how operators use the system, and how to deliver solutions that work in the real world. Whether modernizing aging infrastructure, troubleshooting complex control problems, or designing a complete system from the ground up, we bring practical field experience to every project.
Our customers trust us with facilities that cannot afford unnecessary downtime. They call when equipment is obsolete, when systems need upgraded, when production is at risk, and when they need a partner who can see the entire process—not just the controller. We take pride in solving difficult problems, delivering dependable solutions, and standing behind our work long after startup is complete.
When you need support, we're here. From emergency service calls to long-term modernization projects, we're committed to helping our customers keep their operations running today while preparing for tomorrow.
Why BEA?
Our customers don't hire us 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.
✓ We Fix It Right
Our reputation is built on solving problems correctly. Customers call us when downtime is expensive and repeat service visits aren't an option. We focus on identifying root causes, not temporary fixes.
✓ Trusted Across Illinois
From municipalities to manufacturing plants, BEA has built a reputation across Illinois as the team you call when the problem has to be solved — and solved right.
✓ Full Lifecycle Support
Design, build, install, maintain, and decommission — we support your system at every stage, not just at startup. One team. The whole life of the project.
✓ Responsive Field Support
When critical systems fail, downtime isn't an option. Our team responds quickly to help customers restore operations, minimize losses, and get production moving again.
✓ Built by Field Engineers
Our engineers spend time in the field, not just behind a desk. The people designing your system understand installation, commissioning, troubleshooting, and long-term maintenance because they've done it themselves.
✓ Vendor Neutral Solutions
We recommend solutions based on what works best for your facility — not because we're tied to a single manufacturer. Our experience across multiple platforms allows us to support existing systems and avoid unnecessary replacements.
✓ 40 Years in Illinois Industry
Four decades of solving real problems in Illinois facilities. We've seen what works, what fails, and how to build systems that last — because we've maintained them ourselves.
✓ Practical Solutions
We focus on solutions that work in the real world. Our recommendations are based on reliability, maintainability, and long-term value—not the latest trend or unnecessary complexity.
✓ No Handoffs. No Excuses.
We don't design something and hand it to an electrician. We don't install something and hand it to a programmer. Our people do it all — and they stand behind it.
