Modern industrial automation software is growing more complex—faster than most teams can keep up. The result: costly technical debt, increasingly fragile systems, and code that is hard to scale and maintain.
At Simple Automation, we use proven software design principles to turn complexity into simplicity—reducing risk, accelerating development and keeping your systems future-ready.
Industry-wide Dilema
Modern control platforms now offer advanced software tools—like Git, unit testing, and reusable libraries—bringing proven software engineering capabilities into the world of PLC development. Techniques like object-oriented programming (OOP) and test-driven development (TDD), long known to improve quality, speed, and maintainability, are finally within reach.
Yet many engineers in industrial automation haven’t been trained to leverage these tools, leaving significant opportunities for cost savings, system reliability and machine performance untapped.
That’s where Simple Automation steps in.
A Multifaceted Approach is Key
We combine the best of control and software engineering to build smarter, faster, more reliable systems. Without this integrated approach, industrial software often becomes bloated, unreliable, and expensive—leading to costly field service calls, slow updates, and missed performance goals.
At Simple Automation, we live where Control Systems and Software Engineering intersect—delivering code that’s maintainable, scalable and built for the future.
Simplifying through Strategic Partnership
Navigating modern automation shouldn’t require becoming a software company. Hiring and training automation engineers is a major challenge—especially a culture of standardization and engineering excellence. Keeping up with rapidly evolving tools and practices is a full-time job many companies don’t have the bandwidth for.
With Simple Automation as your partner, you get the expertise—without the overhead.
