What does an industrial control systems company do?

An industrial control systems company designs, builds, and supports automation solutions such as control panels, PLCs, and SCADA systems that control machinery and industrial processes safely, reliably, and efficiently.

What is the difference between PLC, SCADA, and HMI systems?

PLCs control machines and processes in real time, HMIs provide local operator interfaces, and SCADA systems deliver supervisory control, monitoring, alarms, and historical data across a site or multiple systems.

Do you support legacy and obsolete control systems?

Yes. We specialise in upgrading and refurbishing legacy PLC, SCADA, and control panel systems, helping organisations reduce risk, extend asset life, and modernise automation without unnecessary disruption.

Which PLC platforms do you work with?

We primarily work with Siemens, Allen Bradley, and Mitsubishi PLC platforms, while also supporting other systems depending on site requirements and existing infrastructure.

Our Services

We help organisations reduce downtime, modernise legacy control systems, and improve operational visibility through robust, maintainable automation solutions built on proven platforms including Siemens, Allen Bradley, and Mitsubishi.

Modern industrial operations rely on control systems that are reliable, supportable, and future-proof. Many sites still operate with ageing PLCs, obsolete control panels, and limited system visibility.

Stratos Control Systems works closely with engineering and operations teams to design, upgrade, and support automation systems that reduce risk, extend asset life, and improve long-term performance.

Control Panel Design & Build

We design and manufacture industrial control panels using AutoCAD and E-Plan, delivering standards-based panels that are clear, compliant, and easy to maintain.
