Controls, robotics, and systems integration. Under one roof.

DPG's engineering companies design, build, and commission automated production systems for OEMs and industrial manufacturers. UL-certified panels. Programmed robots. Turnkey cells. We don't hand off drawings and disappear. We build it, wire it, program it, and stand behind it.

Full-Stack Engineering Capabilities

From controls design through robotic cell commissioning, DPG's engineering teams deliver complete automated production systems. Three companies, one contract, no finger-pointing.

→

Controls Engineering & Panel Builds

UL 508A certified panel design, fabrication, and wiring. PLC and HMI programming (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Beckhoff). Full electrical design from schematic through commissioning. Delivered by Automation Services Inc. (ASI), operating since 1995.

→

Robotics Integration

Kawasaki, Fanuc, and Universal Robots authorized integrator. Pick-and-place, palletizing, machine tending, welding, material handling. Simulation, offline programming, end-of-arm tooling design. Delivered by CSM Robotics.

→

Turnkey System Integration

We combine controls, robotics, conveyance, and safety systems into complete production cells. Single point of accountability from concept through runoff. Your equipment arrives tested, documented, and ready to produce.

→

Retrofit & Upgrades

Legacy system modernization, controls migration, safety upgrades, and capacity expansion on existing lines. We extend the life of capital equipment without a full rebuild.

→

Industrial Networking & Vision

Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, PROFINET integration. Machine vision inspection, barcode/RFID, and data collection systems tied to your internal systems.

How We Work

Scope & Spec

We define the work with you upfront. Functional specs, electrical schematics, layout drawings, and a fixed scope before any steel gets cut.

Build & Test

Panels built in-house. Robots programmed and tested in our cells. Full FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) before anything ships to your floor.

Install & Support

On-site installation, commissioning, operator training, and documentation. Post-install support and service agreements available.

Who This Is For

→

OEMs that need a controls partner, not just a contractor

→

Manufacturers adding robotics to an existing line

→

Companies replacing legacy PLCs or upgrading safety systems

→

Operations building a new production cell from scratch

→

Anyone tired of coordinating five vendors to get one system running

The Engineering Bench

DPG's engineering work is delivered through three specialized companies, each with its own facility, team, and decades of project history. They operate independently but collaborate when the scope calls for it. One contract. One team. No finger-pointing.
