At ControlX, we see a gap in the industrial world. On one side, you have traditional automation integrators who work with PLCs and SCADA systems. On the other, you have IT and software firms. We live in the space between, and it's where your biggest operational breakthroughs are waiting.
We are a team of specialist engineers and software developers who build the intelligent digital layer that connects your machinery on the factory floor to your business goals in the boardroom. We don't just automate processes; we build custom software and data ecosystems that turn your operational data into your most valuable asset.
Our goal is to minimise your time-to-value, delivering advanced,
custom-fit solutions that solve complex challenges traditional automation can't.
Choosing an integration partner is about finding a team that can reduce risk and deliver tangible results. Our clients choose us because we solve problems from a fundamentally different perspective.
We are engineers who code. Our deep expertise in NodeJS, Python, and .NET means we build robust, custom operational software and intelligent data platforms from the ground up. This allows us to break free from the limitations of off-the-shelf products and give you exactly the functionality and data you need.
Our software expertise is grounded in years of hands-on experience with the machinery that powers your business. We are experts in Siemens, Allen-Bradley, and Schneider PLCs and are Certified Ignition SCADA Integrators. We speak the language of your operations team and understand the realities of the plant floor.
We translate technical capabilities into business results. We start every project by understanding your core objectives—whether it's increasing OEE, reducing waste, achieving regulatory compliance, or gaining real-time visibility across your entire operation. Your ROI is our primary benchmark for success.
We build trust through results. Our track record with industry leaders speaks for itself.

Industry Experience
"The future of production industrial site isn't just about automated machines; it's about integrated intelligence. Our purpose is to build the digital bridges that make this possible, giving our clients the clarity and control they need to win. We thrive on the challenges that others can't solve."
Alex Sharikov - Director & Lead Engineer
We are a deliberately lean team of multi-disciplinary engineers who blend modern software development with a deep understanding of industrial mechanics. Our agile structure means we can work closely with our clients, moving quickly to design and build the exact solution you need without the overhead of a larger firm. We are your dedicated problem-solving partners, committed to turning your most complex operational challenges into your greatest strengths.
We use a diverse range of technologies to build your solution. Here’s what our expertise means for your business:
Our Tools: Python, NodeJS / TypeScript, .NET / C#
What It Means for You: We create tailored software that perfectly matches your workflow, integrating seamlessly with your ERP and providing insights that generic software can't.
Our Tools: Ignition SCADA by Inductive Automation (Certified Integrator), Siemens TIA, Citect SCADA, Node-RED
What It Means for You: A powerful, user-friendly window into your operations. We design intuitive dashboards and control systems that empower your team with real-time data for faster, smarter decisions. As a Certified Integrator, we can help you select the right Ignition package and provide discounted pricing.
Our Tools: Siemens S7 (Preferred), Allen-Bradley ControlLogix, Schneider Modicon
What It Means for You: Reliable, efficient, and safe control of your core machinery and processes, programmed by experts who understand the mechanics and the code.
Our Tools: Custom connectors, data loggers, MQTT, OPC UA, REST APIs
What It Means for You: We ensure a flawless flow of information from any machine or sensor to your central systems, breaking down data silos and creating a single source of truth for your entire operation.
We provide value to both small and large companies in a variety of industries.
Typically, our automation solution delivery process is based on the following seven steps:
1. Discuss the requirements
To start, we'll gain an in-depth understanding of your requirements. We'll work together with you - listening, asking questions, observing existing processes, and suggesting ideas - to understand your requirements and establish a feature set for the solution.
2. Project brief (proposal)
We will then create a project proposal document. It will describe how we will work together - either in a flexible or strictly planned approach - and outline the feature set, and show the estimated cost and time to develop the solution.
3. Engineering and design
After you let us know you want to proceed we will begin with the engineering of the solution. This is a collaborative process, and it may involve sending preliminary schematics, estimated Bill Of Materials, and/or software architecture, so that you can be sure what we deliver is what you wanted.
4. Development
The core development will either be based upon milestones (in Waterfall methodology), or sprints (in Agile methodology). This is where the design is turned into the deliverables. PLC programs, SCADA systems, software development, and schematics are produced during this stage. Communication with the client on this stage is essential to continue monitoring the development as per agreed specification.
5. Testing
All software (including PLC and SCADA) development undergo mandatory testing stage. The testing includes the hardware or testing environment as close as possible to the real (production) condition. In some cases we will perform manual testing and process simulation to ensure the program performs as expected. Test reports are provided on the completion.
6. Commissioning
If this step is a part of the agreement we will make sure that the developed automation solution is integrated into the current production process smoothly. We will travel on site and assist with making the equipment working as initially scoped.
7. Support
We provide comprehensive support options for the services we provided, which includes priority troubleshooting and assistance with abnormal functionality. But even if you would prefer not to opt-in for ongoing support, all our PLC programs and HMI/SCADA screens come with a 12-month warranty to fix errors.
If you're facing an operational challenge that off-the-shelf solutions can't fix, you're in the right place. Let's have a conversation about the problem you're trying to solve.
