The Simple Difference lies in how we approach complexity.
While many firms treat control and software engineering as separate worlds, we integrate the best of both. Our approach simplifies interdisciplinary development, reduces long-term cost, and ensures your automation systems are easier to manage, scale, and support.
An integrated approach is what sets us apart
We have had great success marrying control & software engineering tools and techniques to create industrial automation solutions:
Control Systems
-
We believe that safety is paramount and should be functional - not an obstacle to overcome.
-
We deliver advanced PLC solutions for high-speed, synchronized multi-axis motion control.
-
We have extensive experience with CODESYS-based control systems which gives us familiarity with over 500+ control systems as well as TwinCAT, Allen Bradley and Siemens
-
We have deep expertise in all five IEC 61131-3 PLC programming languages: Structured Text (ST), Ladder Diagram (LD), Function Block Diagram (FBD), Instruction List (IL), and Sequential Function Chart (SFC).
-
Powered by PLCopen standards, our motion control solutions deliver proven performance—while our consistent programming style means every engineer’s work feels seamless and unified.
-
We design controllers leveraging proven PID tuning methods—Lambda, Cohen-Coon, and Ziegler-Nichols—to deliver precise process control, complemented by expert digital signal processing techniques such as filtering and compensation.
Software Engineering
-
Object-Oriented Design expertly manages code dependencies, ensuring your software remains maintainable and scalable over time.
-
We use Test Driven Development to catch most bugs before commissioning, continuously expand test suites with new issues, and run them regularly to safeguard past performance during updates.
-
Our code is crafted using industry-standard design patterns that deliver consistent results.
-
We use the gold standard of the software engineering discipline for source control: Git.
-
SOLID principles are key to building code that allows codebases to scale while keeping maintenance cost static.
This approach leads to excellently designed and proven code-bases that are easy to manage and improve over time.
Using What Works, Consistently
We standardize our in-house software by developing reusable libraries—each backed by its own test suite. These tested components form a reliable foundation of proven code. Test-Driven Development (TDD) is integral to this process, providing a safety net that ensures future updates never compromise existing performance.
Keeping it Simple
Modern PLC development is inherently complex, requiring an interdisciplinary approach. We've mastered that complexity so our clients experience simple, reliable automation—without the overhead of managing it themselves.
