Engineered for how things really work – and will work

We help players in the manufacturing ecosystem lay the right foundation for every project. We work closely with your teams to define the control system architecture and process flow design, ensuring that every decision made at this stage sets the project up for faster execution, smoother integration, and easier long-term maintenance.

We think through how everything works together, where risks might emerge, and how future scalability can be built in from day one. This approach makes building the system easier, and strengthens it at the same time.

We bring your systems to life reliably, efficiently, and ready for the realities of the shopfloor - while giving you fewer headaches down the line.

We work across leading platforms including Siemens, Rockwell, and Schneider, tailoring every solution to your specific operational needs. Our code is clean, structured, and standardized wherever possible — while still flexible enough to adapt to unique process requirements and future changes.

Whether you’re building from scratch or modernizing an existing setup, we help ensure your control systems are robust, maintainable, and operator-friendly.

This is the critical step where everything comes together. Our services are designed to ensure nothing wrong happens - we make things smoother, faster, and less stressful. We bring together our experience across IT and OT to help system integrators, solution providers, and manufacturers take projects from concept to reality with minimal disruption, maximum control and (importantly) within budget.

We do this both virtually and on-site - testing logic, simulating operations, fine-tuning systems in real time, and catching errors early. The result is faster go-lives, smoother client sign-offs, fewer last-minute surprises, and systems that are stable from day one and remain that way.

In complex manufacturing environments, there’s rarely just one way to do things. Our simulation & modeling services helps you explore them all - safely, quickly, and cost-effectively.

You get the freedom to experiment, test ideas, and optimize designs long before anything hits the shopfloor. You can explore new line configurations, validate control logic, train operators, or simply visualize how your system will behave — now and in the future. We use new technology, coupled with our long-standing IT-OT expertise to create virtual environments that closely mirror real-world conditions. We keep in mind not just in how systems run, but how people interact with them. In other words, we give you a comprehensive answer for your most imaginative what-ifs, and then work with you to bring them to life.

Manufacturers want to get the most out of their existing systems. Solution Providers want to modernize without disruption. Axcend helps you do both. Our migration services help you move from legacy systems to newer platforms in a way that protects operations, maximizes ROI, and sets the stage for scalability. We work across platforms and technologies, upgrading control systems, software, and infrastructure while ensuring valuable process knowledge stays intact.

We’ve done this across technologies, eras, and industries - so we know what needs to change, what’s important to preserve, and how to make the transition without losing what works today.

In manufacturing environments, support can’t stop at go-live. Systems need to keep performing technically as well as operationally. Our services help ensure the solutions you deploy continue to run smoothly, securely, and at optimum performance. We go beyond traditional IT support, managing both IT and OT layers — from enterprise software and MES platforms to plant-floor infrastructure and cloud-based systems.

We understand how manufacturing operations work. We know what a system failure really means on the shopfloor (and bottom line!). We offer flexible support models — on-site, remote, or hybrid — built around proactive monitoring, preventive maintenance, and quick-response troubleshooting. Our teams work as an extension of yours, ensuring issues are caught early, performance stays consistent, and system reliability isn’t left to chance.

Software in manufacturing has to work around existing infrastructure, unpredictable environments, and hardware that often spans multiple generations.

That’s exactly where Axcend's various hats comes into play. We design, develop, and deploy software systems built for manufacturing realities. Whether it’s integrating a new MES into a decades-old plant, building dashboards that operators will actually use, or enabling energy management systems to talk to existing infrastructure. We know what it takes to make software fit.

We’ve worked across both IT and OT layers for years, so our solutions are designed for scalability, support, integration with evolving hardware, and long-term maintainability.
