Industrial Automation
Firmware and controller application code matched to your hardware — I/O, sensors, and industrial interfaces included.
Why we do this
Smart controllers only feel “smart” when timing, I/O handling, and edge cases are deliberate — whether the device talks to sensors, scanners, drives, or a parent PLC. Incomplete firmware creates field surprises.
We program controllers with clear state machines, sensible defaults, and room to grow as requirements evolve.
How we do this
Embedded and smart-controller firmware tuned to your process and hardware.
Confirm pins, protocols (serial, industrial Ethernet where relevant), timing, sensors/scanners, and environmental constraints.
Define modes and transitions so behavior stays predictable.
Debouncing, timeouts, and fail-safe defaults where appropriate.
Structure code so features can be verified incrementally.
Notes that help your team update or support the controller later.
What we do
Representative ways we can help. Exact scope is defined with you for each engagement.
Application firmware for dedicated controllers and custom boards.
Serial, GPIO, sensors, scanners, actuators, and related industrial interfaces.
Targeted updates to existing controller software.
Support during first-article and early field testing.
Standards
Connected controllers sit at the edge of OT and IT. We program for deterministic I/O behavior, maintainable firmware structure, and secure-by-design practices drawn from industrial cybersecurity guidance.
Whether your controller speaks IEC 61131 languages or embedded C/firmware, structured modules and clear I/O ownership prevent brittle edge devices.
How we follow it: We separate I/O, control, and communications layers; keep timing behavior explicit; and leave enough documentation for field updates without tribal knowledge.
A leading framework for industrial cybersecurity — covering zones, secure development, and hardening of connected control systems.
How we follow it: We apply practical secure-by-design habits: least privilege for services, signed or controlled updates where feasible, and network exposure kept to what the application truly needs.
Common industrial messaging and information models for controllers talking to gateways, clouds, or higher-level systems.
How we follow it: When your architecture calls for them, we use clear topic/information models, authenticated connections, and documented payload contracts so integrations stay stable.
Smart controllers still have to meet scan-time and response expectations for sensors, actuators, and safety-adjacent signals.
How we follow it: We budget cycle time, debounce and filtering intentionally, and keep critical I/O paths free of non-deterministic network waits.
