Innovative Control

Here is Innovative Control in plain terms. ICI specializes in automation services for projects ranging from a single loop control to Plant-Wide Systems of 65,000 Points. The job it does: building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

It makes the most sense for companies with a specific process to automate. They also list Document Management, Industrial Automation, Industrial Manufacturing, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Project Management, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Innovative Control is based in Algonquin, Illinois and founded in 1993. More on innovativecontrolinc.com.
