Industrial automation for London, Ontario plants
PH Engineering Solutions designs, programs and commissions control systems, robot cells and machine vision for manufacturers in London, Ontario. We're based in Woodstock, about 50 km and 40 minutes east on the 401, so on-site work in London is a day trip, not a travel job.
01How we work in London, Ontario
Most London-area work we see is one of three things: adding automation to a line that already runs, getting an underperforming machine to rate, or taking over a system after the original integrator has gone. All three depend on being able to get on site quickly and often, which is what the short drive buys you.
Everything that can be built and proven off site is done on our 20,000 sq ft floor in Woodstock, run at production rate before it ships. Your shutdown window is spent installing and verifying, not debugging.
02What we do here
- Electrical & Control System Design
Schematics, panel layout, I/O architecture, safety circuits.
- PLC & HMI Programming
Ladder and structured text your maintenance team can read at 2am.
- Robotics & Automation
Concept through safety sign-off, then production.
- Machine Vision
Specified against your actual parts, before anyone commits.
- Drives & Motor Control
VFDs, servos, motion. Sized for the load rather than the catalogue.
- Automated Delivery & Material Handling
Conveyance, AGVs, automated storage.
- Quality Containment
For when a defect has to stop reaching your customer today.
- Mechanical Build & Fabrication
Machining, fabrication, finishing and assembly, run as one scope. About 40% of what we do.
- Automation project recovery
Taking over systems another integrator left unfinished or undocumented.

04Common questions
Do you work on site in London, Ontario?
Yes. London is about 40 minutes from our Woodstock shop, so assessments, installs, commissioning and support visits are routine day trips.
Can you support a line that's down in London?
Call us and tell us what's happening. For a line that's down we'll tell you the same day whether we can help and when we can be there.
