Background

About Tom Wright

By 2007, Bob Bruce recruited several like-minded engineers to join him and changed the company name to Syscon Automation Group. At that point in time, Syscon Automation was made up of a small band of intrepid experts who each had their specialties and loyal customers. Over the next five years, Syscon added more engineers and grew a natural division of labor to tackle larger and more complex projects. This is also when Syscon brought on its first full-time administrator - a controller - to do the increasingly complex accounting and HR functions. Three of the top-level engineers, a controller, and a manager formed a foundational core who earned company ownership through blood, sweat, and tears.Over the last five years, Syscon Automation has made a conscious effort to systematize many expert processes to enable company scalability designed for growth. This process has led to the creation of documented best practices and benchmarks in important areas such as hiring, mentorship, quality assurance, project management, customer relationships, and business development. Syscon Automation is very proud of the fact that in 2016, our best practices were audited and certified by the Control Systems Integrator Association (CSIA). Our goal is to build the best and most well-run Control System Integrator company, because that serves the greater group of all stakeholders – Customers, Employees, and Business Partners.Syscon Automation Merged with Precision Automated Technology in April 2022 and renamed to form SPI Automation as of May 2023
