What are industrial automation services?

Industrial automation services help businesses automate and control machines and processes using PLCs, HMIs, sensors, drives, communication networks and related control technologies.

Do you provide PLC programming services?

BuildStack offers PLC programming and modification as part of its industrial automation services. The supported controller, programming environment and project scope are confirmed before work begins.

Which PLC and HMI brands do you work with?

We work with Siemens and Schneider Electric PLC platforms, and build HMIs on Siemens, Schneider Electric and Flexem hardware. The specific controller or HMI model, programming software, communication requirements and available project information are confirmed during evaluation.

Do you provide HMI development?

Yes. HMI work can include screen development, process visualization, alarm displays, parameter entry, PLC communication and troubleshooting, depending on the selected platform.

Can you troubleshoot an existing machine?

Yes. Existing machine issues can be assessed using symptoms, fault messages, controller and HMI details, electrical drawings and available program files.

Can you integrate servo drives and protocols?

Integration can be evaluated for compatible drives and supported protocols such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP and PROFINET. Device models, firmware, network topology and required control functions affect the implementation.

How much do industrial automation services cost?

Pricing depends on project complexity, hardware, programming requirements, integration work, testing, documentation and commissioning. A suitable scope can be defined after reviewing your requirements.

Can you support regulated applications?

We can evaluate automation and monitoring requirements for relevant equipment. Any validation, documentation, traceability or regulatory obligations must be defined explicitly and confirmed as part of the project scope.

Industrial Automation, PLC & HMI Programming

Industrial Automation

Conveyor Sorting System

Mixed products are detected, identified by barcode or vision, then diverted by pneumatic cylinders into separate bins — with accepted, rejected and category counters kept by the PLC.

Batch Dosing, Reaction & Filtration

Two load-cell hoppers dose ingredients into an agitated jacketed reactor. A PID loop drives the jacket valve to heat, hold and cool the batch before it is transferred through a sterile filter — recipe-driven by a Schneider Modicon M580.

Neutralisation Reactor with ESD

Acid waste is neutralised with caustic dosed by a pH control loop while a cooling-water jacket removes the exotherm. On a runaway temperature the ESD isolates the feeds and vents to a scrubber, then auto-restarts — a Schneider Modicon M340.

Robotic Assembly & Inspection Line

A six-axis robot loads each housing onto an indexing conveyor. A torque-monitored nut-runner tightens it, a vision camera inspects it, failed parts are pushed into the reject bin and good parts are laser-marked — sequenced by a Siemens S7-1200 over PROFINET.

Control architecture

One controller at the centre of every device

The PLC coordinates drives, motion, vision, safety and operator interfaces over industrial networks, while the HMI gives operators a live view of the line.

Connectivity: PROFINET / Industrial Ethernet · Analog 4–20 mA · Digital & safety I/O. Device mix, models and protocols are confirmed per project.

What we deliver

Industrial automation built around your process

Industrial automation is more than programming a controller. It needs coordinated logic, electrical signals, operator interaction, communication and process control.

PLC programming & control logic

Structured ladder and structured-text programs: sequences, digital and analog I/O, timers, counters, interlocks, alarms and analog setpoints.

HMI development

Operator screens with machine status, setpoints, alarms, trends and PLC–HMI communication configuration.

Machine automation & sequencing

Auto/manual modes, conveyor and material handling, pneumatic actuators, servo indexing and sensor-based sequences.

Control system integration

Modbus RTU/TCP, PROFINET and industrial Ethernet integration across drives, servos, sensors and controllers.

Process control & temperature

PID loops, ramp-and-soak sequences, heating/cooling, pressure and flow monitoring, and alarm limits.

Troubleshooting & upgrades

PLC and HMI diagnostics, network issues, program modification and control-system modernisation.
