Company Overview

Custom Industrial Automation, Inc., is a Canadian company created to address the needs of the resource and advanced manufacturing industries. Through the application of proven engineering techniques, CIA develops innovative solutions by combining advanced technologies with sound equipment design principles.

CIA's engineering experience spans the disciplines of mechanical, electrical, software and control systems. We are experienced in all phases of equipment development projects including conceptual studies, requirements definition, custom engineering and system integration, prototype development, project engineering and equipment commissioning. As a result of successful system integration developments, CIA has established several significant business areas outside of it's core engineering services company.

In it's capacity as a system integrator, CIA developed an instrument for performing remote, internal inspections of large pressure vessels (Coke Drums) and has set up a subsidiary corporation CIA Inspection to offer this capability as a contract inspection service.

As part of this development, the need was identified for a specialized, air transportable container to house the inspection system during transit to refineries and then double as a site office. This dual purpose container has proven very successful and CIA is now offering this innovative design as a package concept to customers.
