About

Automation and data systems for modern industrial operations.

We are a systems integrator based in Toronto that operates across all of North America. Our focus is industrial automation and modern, digital solutions to plant problems. Our expertise includes SCADA, MES, PLC programming, project road mapping, industrial communications, data visualisation and software development. Our experience covers a breadth of manufacturing industries, as well as energy sectors, logistics, and data centers.

What we believe

Ease of use

Easy-to-use is the key to easy adoption. Our focus is to implement user friendly solutions at all layers, whether that's operator stations or C-level reporting dashboards. We also don't want to add complexity for the sake of it.

People focus

Being people-focused is important. We are a small, experienced team of real people that are all focused on clear communication and building rapport and trust with our clients. Our approach to workshops, design, and software user experiences are all people-first.

Build to last

Reliability is not optional for industrial processes and infrastructure. We design with this in mind so that our systems are built to last and easy to support for years to come.

How we work

We are here to troubleshoot the tiniest problems that may exist in one small area of your plant, all the way up to multi-region, multi-site rollouts of fully scoped SCADA and MES systems.

If you know that there are improvements to make in your facility, but aren't sure where to start, our Pathfinder assessments offer a way to road map your digitalisation projects and help understand your return on investment for each step that's implemented.

We can work with you on a project basis or provide ongoing support, either ad-hoc or as part of team augmentation. We're comfortable working alongside other integrators and vendors and we are flexible in our approach to business.
