Flexible Engineering Services: On-Demand Cover, Remote Support & Automation Projects
Full-Spectrum Engineering Support for UK Manufacturing with image
From urgent shift maintenance cover to automation system builds, ECS UK delivers fast, flexible engineering solutions designed for modern industry.
We offer three core service areas, each designed to remove bottlenecks, reduce downtime, and increase operational control.
Connect
Connect enables your business to resolve PLC faults and automation breakdowns without waiting for a site visit. With ECS-supplied secure hardware and our automation engineers on call, most issues are diagnosed and resolved remotely; often within 60 minutes.
Supports Major PLC Brands
Whether you’re using Siemens, Rockwell, Mitsubishi or a mix across multiple sites, Connect is built to integrate with your existing automation systems, providing seamless access to expert remote support.
Secure, Pre-Configured Hardware
We supply and configure a secure device for your site, so your systems stay protected while enabling real-time remote access. You maintain control, we deliver the diagnostics.
Downtime Protection & Version Control
Get faults resolved faster than OEM callouts, with backup and version history built in. We minimise your disruption and ensure rollback options are always available.
Projects
Our team works with manufacturers and OEMs to design and deliver control panels, automation systems, and custom software, with hands-on support from planning through to commissioning.
Bespoke Control Panel Solutions
We design, build, and upgrade control panels tailored to your exact specifications. Every project is built for compliance, performance, and integration with your wider system.
Advanced Automation Software
From PLC programming to full SCADA and HMI development, we deliver smart, reliable control software to streamline your production and boost long-term efficiency.
From Optimisation to Installation
We provide hands-on support for line optimisation, machinery integration, and complete system installations, whether it’s a one-off upgrade or part of a long-term partnership.
Shift Hero
When a key engineer calls in sick or you’re scaling output, Shift Hero ensures your production doesn’t stop. We connect manufacturers with qualified electrical, mechanical, and multi-skilled engineers on short notice, without the risk or admin of traditional recruitment.
Speed When It Counts
Get cover in hours, not days. Our network of qualified engineers is ready to step in and keep your lines running with minimal disruption.
Compliance Without the Headache
Every Shift Hero engagement is fully IR35-compliant and audit-ready. We handle all the checks so you can stay focused on output, not paperwork.
