Mining, agri, marine — and the rest.
If your problem looks like an industrial control problem, it probably is — and we have probably worked an adjacent version of it. Mining, agriculture, marine, oil & gas downstream, building products, and others.
A control problem is a control problem.
Some industries do not fit the standard verticals. Mining sites with their own substations and crushers. Open-field agriculture with hundreds of pivots and weather stations. Marine assets where the spec sheet was written for IP69 and a salt fog environment. Building-products plants where the dust is the product. Cement plants. Sugar mills. Dairy cooperatives. Aquaculture.
We work into all of these. The PLC ladder logic is the same. The control narratives are different. The HMI conventions are sometimes specific to the industry. The validation regime might be unique. We learn the industry-specific bits in scope. Everything else is the engineering we already do.
Discuss your projectThe same control discipline.
Specialty verticals get the same engineering rigour as our high-volume industries. The vertical-specific knowledge is what we partner up on or learn in the engagement — never bluffed.
Process control
PLC, DCS, and SCADA work — Siemens, Rockwell, ABB, Honeywell, Yokogawa, Emerson. The vendors do not surprise us; the process specifics sometimes do.
Distributed telemetry
Field-deployed sensor networks for agri, mining, and marine assets. Designed for the worst weather day, not the demo day.
Vision & condition monitoring
Inspxion™ cameras for product grading, surface inspection, and equipment condition monitoring. Vibration, current-signature, and thermal where they matter.
OT cybersecurity
IEC 62443-aligned for verticals where regulatory pressure is rising — mining, downstream oil, marine. Pragmatic where the regulator is not yet.
Vertical analytics
Cement clinker quality. Sugar mill recovery. Mine haul-cycle optimisation. We learn the KPI before we put it on a dashboard.
Operator partnership
Most specialty industries have skilled operators with decades of context. We work with them, not over them. The HMI reflects what they already know.
Four stages, scaled to scope.
Domain on-ramp
A short on-ramp where we read the standards, sit with operators, and produce a one-page domain summary. We are explicit about what we know and what we are learning.
Engineering design
Same design discipline as our other industries. Reviews include both an external domain expert and your in-house operations team.
Build & staged commission
FAT in our studio, SAT on site. We never commission new code on Friday afternoon.
Long-tail support
Specialty industries change slowly but unpredictably. We hold a retainer model for these clients — a small retainer beats a large emergency.
What you can expect.
- A control system that respects the specifics of your vertical without being held captive by them
- Documentation and runbooks written for your operators' context, in their language and conventions
- A partner who tells you when the engagement is outside their domain, not just when it is inside
- Long-term support sized to the rhythm of your vertical — quarterly, annual, or always-on
