We pride ourselves in providing our clients with a quality service which includes the design, development and supply of bespoke software solutions. We are also able to supply electrical design services and Health and Safety advice to the automation industry.

Over twenty years experience of working in this field gives us an invaluable understanding of the automation industry and of the automation solutions available to our clients.

The technology involved in automation is constantly evolving and developing and we pride ourselves in being able to constantly adapt and master each new and innovative technological product that appears in the industry market-place.

We believe that one of our many strengths lies in our ability to work closely with a client in order to design, develop and supply a software solution that meets the needs of that client.
