Service
PLC & Industrial Automation Systems in Sri Lanka
Control systems for machines and processes that need to run without supervision.
PLC-based automation replaces manual sequencing and hard-wired relay logic with a programmable controller. The result is a machine that repeats the same cycle reliably, reports what it is doing, and can be changed in software rather than rewired.
This is a genuinely separate service from the mechanical side of our work — it shares no steps with printing or scanning — but it sits alongside it rather than apart from it. A machine needs both: the mechanism designed and built, and the control system that drives it. Having both under one roof avoids the familiar problem of a mechanical contractor and a controls contractor blaming each other.
We program on Mitsubishi, Omron, Delta and other major PLC platforms, matching whatever is already on site or specifying new hardware for the job. Because every automation job is specific to the process it controls, this one always starts with a site visit rather than a price list. Tell us what the machine has to do, what it is doing now, and what happens when it stops.

How the work runs
A genuinely separate service from the others here — it starts on your factory floor, not on a bench.
- 01
Site visit and problem study
What the process does now, where it stops, and what it costs when it stops.
- 02
Confirm the budget
What's available to spend, agreed before any hardware is specified — the platform and panel design that follow are built to fit it, not the other way round.
- 03
Select components
PLC, HMI, servo motors, sensors and the wiring schedule — chosen for the platform already on site, or specified fresh for the job.
- 04
PLC programming
Ladder logic written for the platform already on site or specified for the job.
Mitsubishi · Omron · Delta · Siemens · other major platforms
- 05
Panel building and wiring
Built and wired to the design before anything goes near your equipment.
- 06
Installation and commissioning
On site, on your equipment.
- 07
Handover, training and support
The operators who run it are trained on it before we leave.
You end up withA commissioned control system, running your process, with an operator trained on it.
PLC automation in practice
Common questions
Before you ask
- Which PLC brands do you work with?
- Mitsubishi, Omron, Delta and other major platforms. We match whatever is already installed on site, or specify the platform for a new build.
- Do you work on existing machines or only new builds?
- Both. Retrofitting a controller onto working mechanical equipment is common and often far cheaper than replacing the machine.
- Can you handle the mechanical side as well?
- Yes — that is the point of having mechanical design, manufacturing and controls in the same place. The mechanism and the control system are designed to suit each other.
- Do you provide on-site support?
- Yes. We provide on-site engineering support across Colombo and the surrounding area, and island-wide.
Bring us the problem.
A part, a process, or just an idea. Tell us the situation and we will tell you the engineering route to solving it — honestly, even if that route isn't us.
