Automation, machine safety and OT security, engineered properly.
We design and commission control systems, assess machinery to AS/NZS 4024, secure plant networks to IEC 62443, and build MeshSafe, a wireless site stop for mobile plant.
Try the panel. Tap a machine to press its e-stop and watch the stop reach every machine in the group.

Design values, shown at ¼ speed: about 120 ms on a direct link, lost unit within 400 ms, about 100 ms more per relaying unit.
One team for safety, security and control.
Most plants buy these from three different contractors and hope the interfaces hold. We design the safety function, the network it runs on and the control code around it together.

Modern HMIs
Operator screens that look like they were made this decade.
Every automation job we deliver comes with a modern HMI: fast, clear, secure by default, and honest about whether a number is live. Switch the link state and compare it with a typical panel.

Our HMI

Simulated values. Every tag carries a quality state, so the operator always knows whether a number is real.
Our product
MeshSafe: one e-stop for every machine on site.
A wireless emergency stop that links separate machines into one stop group. An e-stop on any station stops every machine. A station that drops out stops every machine. Nothing restarts on its own.
It's built for mobile plant, for machines that move between sites, and for spread-out operations where a hard-wired site stop would be long, exposed or constantly re-run. It adds to each machine's own e-stops; it never replaces them.

Track record
Experience from plant that couldn't stop.
Our experience covers control systems for packaging machinery in national meat-processing plants, mobile roll-forming plant for modular housing, high-cycle banding machinery, and build programmes with overseas OEM partners.
We've worked in electronic security since 2015 and industrial automation since 2018, including hazardous-area work to IECEx and ATEX requirements.
How we work.
Connected sensors, remote access and wireless safety all bring real gains, and they all add new ways to fail. These four rules come up on every job.
- 01
Safety functions shouldn't be spoofable
MeshSafe radio frames are authenticated and replay-protected, and its firmware is signed. We hold every safety network we work on to the same standard.
- 02
Nuisance trips are a safety problem
Operators bypass what annoys them. We design for availability as carefully as for the stop, so the safety system stays switched on.
- 03
Data leaves the plant; commands don't come in
Analytics and remote support run over outbound-only, segmented paths. You get visibility without adding a way in.
- 04
Documentation is part of the job
Safety requirements, I/O schedules, validation records and handover documents are deliverables, not extras.
We build our own tools.
When the hardware or software we needed didn't exist, we built it.
