Engineering Services

Every system starts with your requirements, not a product catalog. I work directly with your engineering and operations teams to design solutions that fit your process, your equipment, and your budget.

Data Acquisition Systems

Turnkey DAQ systems that capture the measurements your process demands, at the right speed, resolution, and reliability. Full-cycle delivery from requirements through commissioning: hardware selection, signal conditioning, software development, and on-site startup.

▸ Hydraulic & downhole pressure testing
▸ Centrifugal pump performance validation
▸ Safety harness certification (CSA)
▸ Transmission & drivetrain test benches

Control Systems

Real-time control using NI CompactRIO with LabVIEW Real-Time and FPGA, delivering hardware-level timing for closed-loop control, high-speed interlocking, and safety-critical sequences. Also experienced integrating PLCs, PACs, and VFDs into broader control architectures.

▸ Drilling rig top drive & drawworks
▸ Automated pressure testing sequences
▸ Heat tracing regulation
▸ Valve actuation & sequencing

System Integration

One system, one screen, all your instruments. Modbus, OPC, serial, Ethernet, and proprietary protocols consolidated into a single platform, so your operators aren't switching between six windows to get a complete picture.

▸ Legacy instrument replacement
▸ Mixed-protocol environments
▸ Third-party hardware with inadequate OEM software
▸ Unified operator interfaces

Custom Software & Reporting

Software built around your workflow. Automated data analysis, custom calculations, branded PDF reports, database logging, and operator interfaces designed for daily use.

▸ Automated test reports
▸ Trend analysis dashboards
▸ Certificate-of-compliance generation
▸ Equipment utilization tracking

Legacy System Migration

Your old system works. But for how much longer? Aging LabVIEW, Visual Basic, and proprietary systems migrated to current platforms, preserving proven logic while eliminating obsolete hardware dependencies and unsupported OS versions.

▸ Windows XP/7 system migrations
▸ Discontinued NI hardware replacement
▸ Microsoft Access to modern databases
▸ Adding modern UIs to legacy systems

Support & Maintenance

Voltek doesn't disappear after commissioning. The longest client relationship on the books is over 15 years. Retainer agreements provide priority access, remote diagnostics, software updates, and on-site support when you need it.

▸ Priority response SLA
▸ Remote troubleshooting
▸ Software updates & bug fixes
▸ Annual system health checks
Our Work

Case Studies

Heavy-Duty Transmission Test Bench

The client needed a repeatable, automated way to qualify rebuilt transmissions before shipping. Their existing process relied on manual procedures and subjective operator judgment, leading to inconsistent quality and warranty returns.

I delivered an automated test bench that guides operators through standardized sequences, measures pressures, temperatures, flows, and shift timing across all gear ranges, compares results to pass/fail criteria, and generates a certificate-of-test for each unit.

"Over the past ten years Voltek has completed several data acquisition upgrades to our testing equipment and met all of our requirements. Projects completed on time and budget." — B. Boughton, Heavy Equipment Remanufacturing

Drilling Rig Control System

As part of a multi-discipline team, I developed the control software and hardware interfacing for an automated service rig control system, integrating top drive, drawworks, and power tongs into a single coordinated platform.

The Right Tool
for the Job.

I build measurement and control systems, with 20 years of NI/LabVIEW experience and a growing toolkit that includes Python and modern connectivity tools.

Remote Access

Remote Monitoring & Dashboards

Your team shouldn't need to be on-site to check system status or review test results. I add web-based dashboards and remote access to new and existing systems, so your engineers can monitor, troubleshoot, and pull data from anywhere.

Connectivity

Cloud Data & SQL Integration

Most of the systems I've built over the years store data locally. For clients who need centralized access across sites, I connect systems to SQL databases and cloud endpoints using MQTT, REST APIs, or direct database writes.

Analysis

Python & Data Processing

LabVIEW is my primary tool for real-time systems, but not every problem needs it. I use Python for data processing, automated reporting, statistical analysis, and integration work where it's a better fit. The engineering knowledge is the same but the tool changes based on what the project needs.

Architecture

Modern Connectivity for Legacy Systems

Many of my clients run systems I built years ago that still work but lack modern connectivity. I retrofit MQTT, remote access, and centralized logging onto existing platforms without replacing what already works.

What Clients Say

For more than a decade, Voltek has been instrumental in helping us achieve our goal of easy to use data acquisition and visualization software. This software has been the primary data source of our equipment operators, our engineering group and our customers via satellite uplink.

D. Reese Trican Well Services
13+ YEARS

Jameel took a look at our setup and was able to bring us back into operation within a very short period of time. He was patient and professional at all times and delivered a top-notch final product.

G. Murphy Oerlikon Metco

All the data acquisition projects we have completed with Voltek have made a significant increase to our overall productivity. His availability and after sales support are always a critical part of the process for us.

One Engineer. Start to Finish

Voltek Technology Integration has been delivering custom measurement and control systems since 2004. Based in Edmonton, Alberta and working with clients across Canada and internationally, Voltek specializes in oil & gas well services, heavy equipment remanufacturing, industrial manufacturing, and R&D applications.

When you work with Voltek, the engineer who scopes your project is the same one who writes your software, commissions your system, and picks up the phone when something needs attention. No account managers. No handoffs.

// Why Voltek

P.Eng Accountability

Not just a programmer. A Professional Engineer who understands industrial systems, safety requirements, and what it takes to certify a result.

Deep Domain Knowledge

20+ years in oil & gas, heavy equipment, manufacturing, and R&D. The process constraints, safety requirements, and operational realities are familiar territory.

Solutions That Last

Systems designed to be maintainable. Clients run Voltek's work for years, some for over a decade. That's the real measure of success.
