About Bachelor Controls
Four decades of batch control and process automation, built on a disciplined approach to engineering.
Our Story
Control & Systems Integration Since 1983
Bachelor Controls was founded in 1983 near Sabetha, Kansas. What began as a small controls workshop has grown into a multi-location systems integrator serving manufacturers across the country, headquartered in the Kansas City area with an office in Memphis.
Today, BCI is part of Industria Power + Data, a family of automation and power companies. Our focus has not changed: we engineer batch control and process automation systems that make our customers more productive, and we back them with long-term support.
We work to a disciplined, structured methodology that produces consistent, documented performance, from functional design through commissioning. That discipline is why customers in food, beverage, pharmaceutical and process manufacturing have trusted us with their production for more than 40 years.
What Drives Us
Core Values
The principles behind every project we take on.
Disciplined Methodology
A structured, repeatable process produces consistent, well-documented results, from design through commissioning and support.
Customer Success
We measure our work by whether it makes your operation more productive, not by the technology we install.
Quality and Accuracy
Batch accuracy and traceability are built into every system, because your product and your records depend on them.

What the Affiliation Means for You
Industria Power + Data brings automation, electrical and infrastructure companies together under one group. For our customers that means the batch control and process automation work stays with BCI, and when a project also calls for electrical installation, power distribution or plant infrastructure, those come from companies in the same group rather than from vendors we have to coordinate with.
What does not change is who you work with. The engineers who design your control system are BCI engineers, the work runs out of our offices, and your point of contact stays the same however much of the project the group takes on.
Our Commitment
Supporting Our Veterans
BCI values the discipline, teamwork and problem-solving that military veterans bring to engineering and the plant floor. Much of what service teaches carries straight over to controls work: following procedure, troubleshooting under pressure and leaving a clear record of what was done.
We encourage veterans and transitioning service members to apply for any of our open roles, whether that is controls engineering, programming or project management.
