Schendt Engineering Corporation utilizes a systems engineering approach to the design of a project. This begins with preparation of a system schematic to identify all components of the system. The system schematic is then utilized as a roadmap to be followed in laying out equipment and preparing control drawings. We have experience in all types of control systems including the various standard communications protocols utilized by each manufacturer. This has allowed us to integrate components from various manufacturers to provide seamless communications between individual systems.
