Independent controls engineering · Wisconsin
Controls engineering
for Wisconsin manufacturing
CTS Engineering helps manufacturers improve machines and keep equipment running, while giving machine builders and integrators extra engineering capacity when projects get busy.
What do you need help with?
Existing Equipment
Improve a machine you already run.
For production and maintenance teams who need an equipment problem solved or a useful new capability added.
- Machine down? Get hands-on controls troubleshooting to find the problem and help get production running again.
- Reduce recurring stops. Troubleshoot PLC logic, sensors, drives, and operator alarms.
- Add machine capabilities. Integrate a vision camera, add features, improve HMI screens, or adapt controls for a new product.
- See what is happening. Collect production counts, downtime, and condition data.
Project Capacity
Add a controls engineer to your team.
For machine builders, system integrators, and engineering teams who need another set of hands on one project or across a busy workload.
- Cover a capacity gap. Bring in flexible engineering help without adding a permanent position.
- Move design forward. Get electrical design, controls documentation, and PLC/HMI programming support.
- Connect the pieces. Integrate vision, robotics, motion, and machine communications within your project.
- Get through startup. Add commissioning and troubleshooting support alongside your team.
About me
I’m Craig Stuettgen.
As Principal Engineer and Owner of CTS Engineering, I provide practical, hands-on engineering support with a focus on reliable solutions, clear communication, and long-term customer success.
My work focuses on the technical side of automation: PLC programming, HMI development, robot programming support, machine vision, motion control, electrical controls design, safety system support, troubleshooting, commissioning, startup assistance, and documentation.
I work with manufacturers, machine builders, OEMs, and system integrators that need experienced controls support, added engineering capacity, or hands-on help getting equipment designed, debugged, commissioned, and running reliably.
