90-day founding-plant pilot

PLC First Response Pilot

One qualified, non-safety-critical Rockwell control cell. Ninety days. Your maintenance team learns to answer its own PLC faults: cited to the exact rung, verified in the field, with a human controls engineer behind them when the evidence runs out.

Check my cell’s fit

BlueRidgePLC will confirm vendor, controller generation, cell criticality, safety boundary, and available L5X export, usually within two business days.

Optional: helps us qualify your cell faster

Please don’t attach logic files here. If the cell qualifies, we arrange the L5X export securely during setup.

Everything included

Exactly what the $24,000 covers.

One qualified control cell

A single non-safety-critical Rockwell cell, scoped and confirmed before kickoff.

L5X ingestion + control graph

Your Studio 5000 export parsed into a navigable control graph of tags, routines, and rungs.

Plant-specific workspace

A dedicated workspace for your cell: your logic, your evidence, your incident record.

2–5 technician accounts

The people who actually stand at the cabinet get their own access.

Five acceptance scenarios

Five engineer-reviewed scenarios that define what “working” means for your cell, tested, not assumed.

Mobile field verification

Bounded read-only field checks your technicians complete in a browser.

Incident history

Every fault, check, and outcome for the pilot cell retained as reusable evidence.

Scheduled human escalation

A human controls engineer reviews escalations on a scheduled basis, not a 24/7 promise.

Final results report

What the engine answered, what it couldn’t, and what your team verified, yours to keep.
