Applied Control Engineering

Applied Control Engineering, Inc. (ACE) is an independent control systems integrator specializing in industrial automation and process control solutions. Since 1991, we’ve grown from a single office into a team of more than 200 engineers and support staff across nine locations, including Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Texas. We serve a wide range of industries—including life sciences, chemical, food & beverage, oil & gas, metals, power, and site utilities—delivering platform-independent solutions tailored to our clients’ needs.

Our capabilities span the full project lifecycle—from front-end engineering and control system design to validation, commissioning, and ongoing support. We have deep expertise in batch and continuous processing, SCADA, safety systems, and manufacturing execution systems (MES). Our teams have helped clients navigate complex technical and regulatory challenges, such as serialization and global track-and-trace compliance, and have supported scaling efforts from clinical to commercial manufacturing.

At ACE, we focus on building long-term customer relationships grounded in trust, collaboration, and results. Our engineers work closely with client teams to understand real-world operating conditions, align project goals, and deliver solutions that are reliable, cost-effective, and future-ready. Whether we’re delivering a turnkey automation system or supporting a specific scope of work, our commitment is the same: to act as a trusted partner from concept through commissioning and beyond.
