Skilled Manpower Support for
Aluminium Process Control

Hamilton Research provides comprehensive aluminium plant commissioning support, helping plants seamlessly configure and deploy new control systems. During the commissioning phase, plants often struggle to clearly convey their operational requirements to development teams. Addressing this challenge requires deep domain expertise from aluminium process control engineers, combined with strong hardware and software development capabilities—a combination that is not easily available.

To bridge this gap, Hamilton Research offers experienced onsite & offshore engineering teams that work closely with customers to translate operational requirements and integrate them effectively into new control systems. Our teams function as an extension of the customer’s own organisation, without being on their direct payrolls.
