What Automated Control Concepts does

InflexionPoint, LLC (operating as InflexionPoint, formerly Automated Control Concepts) is an independent systems integrator founded in 1985 and headquartered in Red Bank, New Jersey, with over 40 years of experience serving regulated industries. The company delivers a full lifecycle engagement model — Design-Build-Manage — guided by its proprietary 5D Process Methodology (Discover, Design, Develop, Demonstrate, Deploy), and organizes its offerings into four practice areas: Strategy (digital transformation, master planning, process mapping, secure-by-design), Automation (HMI/SCADA, batch processing, bioreactor control, building & environmental, PLC/legacy upgrades), Intelligence (AI/ML, asset performance, data analytics, MES, quality & compliance, SCADA/historian), and Infrastructure (industrial workstations, managed services, networking & cybersecurity, staff augmentation).

The underlying technology stack combines automation controls (HMI/SCADA, PLC), MES/MOM, data historians (AVEVA PI), industrial analytics, and IT-OT cybersecurity, with the company holding Top Partner status for Ignition (SCADA) and an AVEVA PI Solutions practice. Pre-packaged SmartStart solutions (Performance, Quality, Transformation) and an Anomaly Tracking solution overlay the core integration services to support shorter deployment cycles.

InflexionPoint generates revenue through three streams: project-based professional services (design and implementation under the 5D methodology), recurring managed services (cybersecurity patching, system monitoring, outsourced operations), and staff augmentation. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with a consultative ownership approach, primarily targeting life sciences, food & beverage, and critical infrastructure clients in the Northeast US, with data centers and packaged goods as secondary verticals.
