Rosemont and Greater Chicagoland
Industrial Automation & Engineering Company in Chicago
Geek Engineering is an industrial automation and engineering company based in Rosemont, serving Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. One senior-led team handles PLC programming, HMI/SCADA development, control panel design, machine design, plant-data integration, custom software, and practical AI — coordinating electrical, mechanical, controls, and software interfaces from discovery through deployment.
Geek Engineering is an industrial automation and engineering company located at 9460 Maple Dr, Rosemont, IL 60018, serving Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. Being in the metro means design reviews, field verification, commissioning support and troubleshooting can be scheduled without long-haul travel — which matters most on work that requires being at the machine.
Local delivery
What being in the metro actually changes
| Work type | How it is delivered from Rosemont |
|---|---|
| Site survey and field verification | Same-region visit, typically scheduled within the normal working week |
| Commissioning, FAT and SAT support | Onsite for the duration of the test window |
| Controls troubleshooting | Onsite where the fault requires being at the machine; remote where it does not |
| Design, programming and documentation | Remote, with review sessions onsite or online as preferred |
| Training | Onsite on your equipment, or offline against a copy of your program |

What makes a Chicago-area project different
Chicagoland's industrial base is dominated by mature facilities rather than new construction — food and beverage, packaging, metal forming, printing, plastics, logistics and the supplier network around O'Hare. That profile shapes the work: most projects involve equipment that is already running production, drawings that no longer match the field, and control platforms installed long enough ago that spare parts are the constraint rather than performance. Downtime windows are short and negotiated, and the useful first deliverable is usually an accurate picture of what is actually installed.

Good-fit engagements
Bring us the operational problem, not just a shopping list
We are best suited to projects where multiple systems meet: a machine retrofit that needs new drawings and PLC code, an OEM platform that needs repeatable standards, a plant dashboard that needs trustworthy equipment data, or an AI pilot that must fit a real approval workflow.
- Production downtime, obsolete controls, or undocumented equipment
- New machine, product, panel, or automation-system development
- Quality, throughput, changeover, traceability, or data-visibility gaps
- Disconnected ERP, MES, databases, machines, websites, or mobile workflows
- AI ideas that need feasibility, secure integration, and measurable pilot criteria
- A project that needs coordinated electrical, mechanical, controls, and software ownership

Rosemont and Chicago engineering services: common questions
What kind of engineering company is Geek Engineering?
Geek Engineering is a cross-disciplinary engineering and technology firm serving manufacturers, OEMs, machine builders, research teams, contractors, and technical businesses. Our work spans electrical and mechanical design, industrial automation, custom software, AI implementation, R&D, training, and operations consulting.
Does Geek Engineering serve facilities near Rosemont, Illinois?
Rosemont is a priority service market for Geek Engineering. Nearby onsite work is evaluated according to project scope, schedule, site access, safety requirements, travel, and the type of field work required.
Can one team handle controls, mechanical, electrical, and software work?
Yes. That coordination is a core reason clients engage us. We define the interfaces between the machine, electrical system, controls, data, and user application so responsibilities and acceptance tests are clear.
Do you work on existing equipment or only new systems?
Both. We support new design and implementation as well as troubleshooting, reverse engineering, documentation recovery, component obsolescence, controls migration, software modernization, and performance improvement.
What does onsite support near Rosemont involve?
Site visits are planned during scoping: access and safety requirements, the equipment involved, and which parts of the work genuinely need someone on the floor rather than remote support. Rosemont sits beside O'Hare, so travel across Chicagoland is short, but availability is confirmed against the current project schedule rather than promised in advance.
Do you work onsite in Chicago, or is the work remote?
Both, split by what actually requires presence. Field verification, commissioning, FAT and SAT support, hands-on troubleshooting and equipment-based training are onsite. Design, programming, documentation, software and data work is normally remote with review sessions as preferred. The split is agreed during scoping rather than assumed.
How quickly can someone be onsite in the Chicago area?
Scheduling depends on the current project load and on what the visit requires — a walk-through, a full survey, or a commissioning window. Being in the metro removes travel as a constraint, but availability is confirmed during scoping rather than promised in advance.
