About

Lucid Control was founded based on the principle that industrial automation is fundamentally a human process; from development, to system operation, to maintenance, everything should be implemented to augment the abilities of the person using the system.

 What this means for you, the client:

  • Development is driven by a deep understanding of your needs.

  • Operator interfaces that highlight important processes and augment operator work flow.

  • Systems that seamlessly merge process control with operational requirements.

  • Reduced maintenance costs and outages due to quality designs that utilize reputable products.

I, Robert Thompson, P.Eng., am the sole proprietor of Lucid Control. As such, it is my personal responsibility to provide you, the client, with the clearest, most human-centric control system possible. I bring 8+ years of engineering experience and have worked with 25+ clients. My area of focus is providing engineering and systems integration services to water/wastewater and district energy systems.

Lucid Control Automation is permitted to practice engineering per EGBC and the Professional Governance Act. The firm is located in Squamish, British Columbia.
