Automated Logic Installers London
Automated Logic installers for London. We design, install and commission Automated Logic controller systems on open-protocol BACnet — including a complete five-floor City of London installation you can read about below.
What the Automated Logic Platform Actually Is
Automated Logic is a building automation manufacturer whose controllers and WebCTRL front-end are built natively around BACnet, the open building-automation standard. That architecture is what makes the platform a fit for commercial offices that expect to integrate, extend and re-tender their controls over the long term.
What Alpha Controls Does with Automated Logic Systems
Where Our Responsibility Starts and Stops
Open protocol does not mean plug-and-play. A BACnet network still needs correct IP planning, device addressing, COV configuration and sequence logic written for the specific plant. Get those wrong and you get slow response, unlogged faults and zones that fight each other — which is why our commissioning is functional, not nominal: every point is tested against its intended behaviour, and on the Gresham Street programme each zone was witnessed before handover.
Two boundaries we state plainly. Fire dampers: we provide the monitoring and enable/disable interfaces the BMS needs, but fire strategy logic stays with the fire system and its engineers. Mechanical plant: we write the sequences that control it and make it visible on the front-end, but the plant's mechanical maintenance normally stays with your mechanical contractor.
Project: 20 Gresham Street — Automated Logic Across Five Floors
At 20 Gresham Street in the City of London, Alpha Controls delivered a complete Building Management System around an Automated Logic platform. Controllers manage fan coil units, VAV boxes and environmental plant across Basement, Ground, 1st, 4th and 5th floors — more than 250 FCU points connected and commissioned, with each of the five floors split into four control zones.
All communication runs over a BACnet/IP backbone. Sontay field devices feed the system throughout, and a new metering network was configured for trending, giving the facilities team live visibility of electrical, water and thermal energy by floor and zone. The installation was delivered over three months, phased floor by floor as fit-out progressed, with every zone commissioned and witnessed before handover.
Where We Work
Alpha Controls installs and commissions Automated Logic systems across London, Kent and the South East. Our base in Gravesend sits on the A2 corridor into south-east London and the City, so London and Kent projects draw on the same in-house delivery team.
Frequently Asked Questions — Automated Logic London
Is Alpha Controls an Automated Logic dealer or certified partner?
No. Alpha Controls is an independent controls contractor and holds no Automated Logic dealership or certification. Our platform experience comes from delivered work: a complete Automated Logic installation at 20 Gresham Street in the City of London, covering design, controller installation, programming, network commissioning and metering integration over open-protocol BACnet. We state that plainly because procurement teams should weigh delivered projects, not badges.
What Automated Logic work did Alpha Controls carry out at 20 Gresham Street?
A complete BMS installation across five floors of a City of London office building. New Automated Logic controllers manage fan coil units, VAV boxes and environmental plant; more than 250 FCU points were connected and commissioned. Everything runs over a BACnet/IP backbone with Sontay field devices throughout, plus a new metering network configured for trending. The installation was delivered over three months on a phased floor-by-floor programme.
Can an Automated Logic system integrate equipment from other manufacturers?
Yes — that is the advantage of the platform's native BACnet architecture. Chillers, AHUs, meters and third-party controllers that expose BACnet objects can be integrated without proprietary gateways. At 20 Gresham Street we brought underfloor heating monitoring, CO₂ sensors, extract fans, calorifiers, water conditioners, smoke and fire damper interfaces, and a multi-utility metering network into a single supervisory view.
How long does a phased Automated Logic installation take in an occupied building?
Our five-floor City of London installation ran over three months, working to the main contractor's phased release of areas. The honest answer is that programme length is driven by access, not by the controllers. Controllers can be pre-configured off-site and commissioned floor by floor as areas become available, which keeps each zone functional before handover and disruption to parallel trades low.
Is Automated Logic a proprietary system or an open protocol one?
Open protocol. Automated Logic controllers and the WebCTRL front-end are built around BACnet — an ASHRAE standard, not a single manufacturer's property. A system built on a published standard is not tied to one supplier for every future change, provided the system is properly documented. We hand over sequences, graphics and as-built point documentation on our projects precisely so that openness is usable rather than theoretical.
