About
Automation engineering with European systems experience and U.S. market focus.
i4 Automation Engineering USA is built around practical industrial automation support for manufacturing, machine commissioning, migration, IT/OT integration and OT/ICS readiness work.
Founder profile
Huseyin Gevrek is the founder and automation engineer behind i4 Automation Engineering. He holds a Dipl.-Ing. Electrical Engineering background from TU Berlin and has 10+ years of industrial automation, PLC, commissioning and troubleshooting experience around real production equipment.
His project background includes Siemens TIA Portal, CODESYS-based PLCs, WAGO/CODESYS systems, IT/OT integration, industrial communication and EPLAN documentation support. The focus is practical engineering output that maintenance, production and integration teams can use.
The U.S. positioning is intentionally focused: support companies that operate European machinery, mixed automation environments or industrial systems that need reliable PLC, data and retrofit engineering. This website is a technical profile for customers and partners who need automation engineering support.
Many U.S. plants are built around local standards but still rely on imported European machines. Those machines may use Siemens S7 controllers, TIA Portal, WinCC, CODESYS-based PLCs, WAGO I/O, Profinet, OPC UA, Modbus TCP or documentation prepared with a European engineering style. i4 Automation Engineering USA is shaped around that gap: helping maintenance, engineering and production teams understand the machine, solve the immediate problem and plan the next technical step.
Germany-based engineering background
The engineering background is rooted in German and European automation practice, where PLC programs, electrical documentation, commissioning discipline and machine handover are often closely connected. That experience is useful for U.S. facilities that receive European machinery and need local support that understands both the control system and the practical production environment.
The work is deliberately careful with claims. The service does not present itself as authorized by Siemens, CODESYS, WAGO, Rockwell or EPLAN. Brand names are used to describe technical experience, project relevance and the types of systems that may be encountered in industrial facilities.
U.S. market focus
The U.S. focus is practical: find customers, partners and industrial projects where European automation knowledge can create value. Typical situations include startup support for imported machines, troubleshooting of PLC/HMI behavior, data integration between machines and IT systems, retrofit planning and documentation cleanup for maintenance teams.
The preferred starting point is a clear technical inquiry. A plant does not need to know the complete solution before contacting i4 Automation Engineering USA. It is enough to describe the machine, PLC/HMI platform, current issue, location, urgency and available documentation.
How we work
The default approach is remote first. Remote review can reduce wasted travel and clarify whether the issue is PLC logic, missing signals, HMI configuration, fieldbus communication, documentation, network behavior or a broader modernization need. If onsite support is required, the remote step helps define what should be prepared.
Scopes are kept practical. The aim is to produce useful engineering output: findings, checklists, backup recommendations, migration risk notes, data path concepts, documentation observations and next steps that a maintenance or engineering team can act on. When a topic is outside the practical automation scope, that limitation is stated clearly.
OT/ICS readiness perspective
OT/ICS security readiness is approached from an automation background, not as an exaggerated cybersecurity claim. The work can include asset inventory structure, backup and recovery review, segmentation discussion, secure remote access review and commissioning security checklist support. It does not promise certification, compliance outcome or a fixed security result.
This position matters because many OT risks are tied to ordinary engineering habits: missing backups, undocumented changes, unmanaged remote access, unclear network boundaries and rushed commissioning practices. Improving those basics can create real operational value.
Contact
Start with the machine context.
Send the PLC/HMI platform, current issue, machine type, location and urgency. The first response can clarify whether troubleshooting, commissioning, migration, IT/OT integration or documentation support is the right path.
