About Shoemaker Consolidated

Technical Prime mindset: mission-critical delivery, industrial depth, AI where it earns its place.

Shoemaker Consolidated - Technical Expertise

Brandon Shoemaker

Founder & Lead Developer

🎖️ U.S. Navy Veteran 🏭 Industrial Automation (Pulp & Paper / QCS-DCS) 📋 SAM.gov Registered ✅ VR&E Approved 📍 Logan, Ohio

Brandon Shoemaker founded Shoemaker Consolidated LLC to serve federal agencies, industrial clients, and prime contractors who need a dependable integrator—not slide decks alone. The company is Texas-formed, veteran-owned, and built on a straightforward equation: nine years in the U.S. Navy as an avionics technician (precision, documentation, and systems you do not get to fail in production) plus nine years in industrial automation—with deep hands-on work in pulp and paper control systems, including ABB QCS and Honeywell DCS environments, HMI and process support, and the peripheral software and infrastructure that keep lines running.

Today the focus is mission-critical systems integration and industrial intelligence: connecting proven hardware and control-domain expertise with AI-augmented workflows for faster, auditable engineering—where AI supports discovery, automation, and decision support without replacing engineering judgment.

Shoemaker Consolidated positions as a Technical Prime in industrial intelligence: able to own technical scope, coordinate subcontractors when needed, and speak both the language of the plant floor and the language of compliance-oriented delivery.

What we are not: We do not promise “inventing the future” in the abstract. We deliver grounded integration, clear documentation, and outcomes you can brief to a program office or a plant manager.

Other industrial experience: He has also worked in laser automation (Amada) and other industrial settings. While not a primary focus, he gained significant hands-on experience with cutting systems, CNC, and calibration—experience that broadens his perspective on manufacturing and process control.

If your requirement sits at the intersection of legacy industrial systems, modern software, and AI-assisted delivery, we should talk.

Discovery call → written scope or SOO alignment → phased delivery — Schedule a consultation

How the first conversation works

Plants and programs accumulate invisible process leaks—workarounds and manual steps that became “just how we do it.” The initial call is not a pitch: it’s time to understand what you’re living with and whether anything is worth a deeper look. Outcomes might be clearer visibility, tighter integration, automation, or focused analysis—whatever actually fits the problem.

Outline I use on discovery calls (expand)

Opening

Thanks for making the time. Nine years troubleshooting control systems in pulp and paper taught me how much time gets eaten by things teams accept as normal. I’m not here to sell anything today—I want to understand where things stand and see if there’s anything worth exploring together.

Core question

What are the things around here that you and the team have normalized because nobody has ever really fixed them—the workarounds, manual steps, daily frustrations everyone just lives with?

Then listen. Let the details surface; take notes.

Follow-up probes (pick a few)

  • How long has that been “normal”?
  • How much time or cost do you think it eats in a week or month?
  • What happens when it gets worse or breaks completely?
  • If someone delivered a simple fix—better data path, a small tool, clearer workflow—what would success look like to you?

Next step

That often maps to a classic process leak that went invisible. I’ve seen similar situations addressed with better visibility, integration, automation, or disciplined analysis. If it helps, we can book a short follow-up to map options and what a solution could look like—no pressure, no cost for that conversation.

If it’s not a fit, a referral is always appreciated.
