FOUNDER’S PRIOR EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCE
OEE 45% → 69%
90 days+24 percentage points
The improvement was driven by eliminating micro-stoppages on line infeed accumulation, recovering sensor telemetry gaps, and replacing manual shift logs with automated tag-based state tracking.
Founder-reported prior employment result. This was not a Buntop client engagement.
Read the full improvement example ↗A FAMILIAR PROBLEM?
Machines produce data.
Teams need answers.
“We can see downtime, but not why.”
Review event quality, timestamps and asset context before building more dashboards.
“We want AI. Is our plant ready?”
Define the decision, assess the evidence, and establish human review and local safeguards.
01 / HOW WE HELP
A clear starting point.
A practical path forward.
Start with a defined problem and a focused assessment. Build toward a measured pilot and a supported rollout.
01 START HERE

One-Line Visibility Pilot
Test a useful connection on a limited scope before committing to a larger deployment.
- One line, asset or business problem
- Supported interfaces and agreed data mapping
- Data quality and recovery checks
- Documented results and operating handover
03
Human-Approved AI Readiness

Engineered for the plant.
Designed to be tested.
Explore three engineering reference designs for brownfield data, supervisory modernization and OT segmentation. Each defines system boundaries, design considerations and site-specific acceptance tests.
Brownfield Edge Unification
- Problem
- Machine information is scattered across Siemens and Rockwell controllers, while plant teams must protect production.
- Architecture
- A proposed edge path using OnLogic, Kepware and HighByte, with Sparkplug-capable MQTT publishing and approved firewall boundaries.
- Measure
- Data freshness, network load and recovery after outages.
Engineering reference · acceptance tests defined.
Read the reference architecture and test plan →Enterprise SCADA Modernization
- Problem
- Standalone HMI stations and fragmented historian records make consistent operation and review difficult.
- Architecture
- Reusable AVEVA Galaxy objects, OMI views and PI Asset Framework context on supported virtual infrastructure.
- Measure
- Recovery time, data continuity and diagnosis time.
Engineering reference · acceptance tests defined.
Read the reference architecture and test plan →Purdue Hardening
- Problem
- Broad network trust and uncontrolled remote support can expose plant systems.
- Architecture
- Risk-based IEC 62443 zones, industrial firewalls, an industrial DMZ and managed remote access.
- Measure
- Allowed and denied flows, remote access expiry and packet loss.

SCOPED ENGINEERING SERVICES
Agree on the deliverables before work starts.
Plant Data & Integration Assessment
A fixed-scope review of existing assets, data quality, ISA-95 structure and Purdue boundaries. Receive a system interface matrix, OT network risk register and prioritized pilot scope. Where reliable plant cost and production data are supplied, the roadmap includes an indicative ROI estimate with assumptions and limits.
Fixed fee after a short scoping call
Typically 2–3 assessment days. Executive roadmap and risk register delivered within 10 business days of the site walk and receipt of agreed inputs. Scope and delivery date are confirmed in the proposal.
One-Line Visibility Pilot
One line, approved data interfaces, an edge-to-SCADA or broker path, and a dashboard verified against agreed acceptance checks. Test data continuity and broker recovery without changing production PLC runtime logic. Access and any required configuration follow plant approval and change control.
Milestone-based proposal with agreed acceptance criteria
Milestone-based fixed fee. Hardware, licenses and travel are separately itemized.
Pilot proposals can include five named Academy seats for 12 months, with the learning tier, activation date and handover scope specified in the agreement. Team access is arranged with Buntop.
Architecture & Advisory Retainer
Ongoing design review, OT security oversight, change review and vendor quote assessment within agreed monthly capacity.
Monthly retainer based on agreed coverage
Each proposal specifies a monthly hour cap, named review activities, response times, exclusions and rates for additional approved work. Unused-hour treatment is agreed in writing; this is not unlimited or 24/7 support.
Onsite commissioning and troubleshooting: Quoted by location, duration and technical scope. Travel, minimum booking terms and any hardware or license costs are itemized in the proposal.
Local control stays local. PLC interlocks, safety functions and equipment control remain under the plant’s local authority. Initial assessments use approved read-only interfaces; changes to active PLC logic require separate written scope, plant authorization, a maintenance window and a tested rollback plan.
02 / OUR APPROACH
Discover. Design.
Prove. Hand over.
A project is successful when the connection works, the evidence is clear, and your team can support it. Buntop’s engineering method keeps scope, decisions, configuration records and acceptance evidence documented for handover.
Plan continuity before delivery.
Proposals define the delivery lead, available capacity, review milestones, support period and escalation contact. The handover package records approved configurations, open decisions, recovery steps and acceptance evidence. Any additional delivery resources and access permissions are agreed with the client before work starts.
Discover the plant
Agree on the production problem, current systems, baseline, constraints and decision owners.
Design the path
Define interfaces, data context, storage roles, access boundaries and a limited first scope.
Test the evidence
Agree on acceptance checks for data quality, failures, recovery and operating responsibilities.
Support the handover
Deliver documentation, review results with the plant team, and plan the next stage.
Engineering principles
Supported interfaces. Least privilege. Clear system ownership. Local control. Documented validation.
Security and reliable operations
OT security reviews cover risk assessment, vulnerability and patch planning, incident readiness, and operating policies, using IEC 62443 and NIST OT guidance where applicable.

BEFORE WE TALK
A few useful answers.
Can you work with existing plant systems?
Yes. An assessment starts with your installed equipment, supported interfaces, operating constraints and existing ownership. The first scope can be a single line or asset.
Can we start with an assessment only?
Yes. The assessment can be a standalone engagement with a current architecture, prioritized gaps and a roadmap. A pilot is a separate decision.
How is consulting priced?
We agree on the scope and deliverables before providing a proposal. Factors include the number of systems, site access, travel, interviews and validation needs.
