Instrumentation & Controls

Smart Controls Built by Filtration Experts

Roberts Filter Group brings more than 135 years of filtration experience to the world of automation and controls. Unlike generic integrators, we understand how filters are designed, operated, and optimized — and that knowledge informs every control panel, SCADA system, and HMI we build. Our instrumentation and controls solutions are engineered to integrate seamlessly into any water utility’s infrastructure, delivering reliability, compliance, and ease of operation.

Why Choose Roberts for Controls?

Filter Expertise First
Controls are only as good as the process knowledge behind them. Our team programs with deep understanding of how filtration works — from startup and backwash cycles to long-term optimization.

Full SCADA Integration
We design and program SCADA systems that provide operators with real-time visibility, alarm handling, and compliance reporting.

Local HMIs & Panels
Operator-friendly HMIs and custom-built control panels give utilities reliable, intuitive interfaces at the plant floor.

PLC Compatibility
We work with all major PLC brands — including Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Schneider, GE, and others — to integrate with your existing infrastructure without forcing a new platform.

Flexible Design Approach
Whether for a single filter cell or an entire plant, our systems are scalable, modular, and designed to grow with utility needs.
