Streamline Your Operations
Cyntek provides services for Greenfield and Brownfield automation projects in the following key areas:
- Packaging Automation
- Processing Automation
- Material Handling & Tracking Automation

All process automation projects start with a review of the current state to fully understand the existing processes and methodologies. Our team works with our customers to develop a description of the future state that is translated into measurable technical requirements. A gap-analysis between the current and future states ultimately provides a roadmap that will be followed by Cyntek’s project managers to deliver exactly what is required, on time and within budget.
Greenfield
Cyntek uses a detailed front-end engineering (link) design approach for all greenfield process automation projects. The use of a detailed front-end engineering process enables our team to address unique challenges with custom solutions.
Examples of greenfield type automation projects include:
- Automation integration within a new facility
- New production line within an existing facility
Brownfield
All Brownfield automation projects begin with an automation assessment. In Brownfield process automation projects, it is essential that our team develops an in-depth understanding of the existing process as well as any internal mechanical, electrical, controls, or safety standards. The automation assessment spans the entire automation hierarchy to ensure that any existing connections between legacy automation systems and business (ERP/MES) systems are integrated into a proposed solution.
Examples of brownfield type automation projects include:
- Line/process upgrade
- Equipment upgrade
Cyntek offers the expertise to guide our clients throughout the entire project life cycle, beginning with front-end design, and ending with a commissioned system. By engaging Cyntek early in process automation projects, our clients realize the benefits of utilizing the Cyntek Project Management approach which emphasizes project requirements tracking and validation.
