Automation, Digital & Sustainability
Industrial Automation
Design, supply, integration, installation and programming of PLC, SCADA and DCS systems, robotics, industrial IoT, instrumentation and control systems.
The problem
What goes wrong without this.
Most Indian manufacturing plants sit somewhere between fully manual and genuinely automated, and the gap costs them in ways that are hard to see from inside. Quality variation is attributed to operators rather than to the absence of process control. Downtime is recorded in a register nobody analyses. Energy consumption per unit is unknown because it is never measured at machine level.
The response is often to buy automation hardware without first identifying which constraint it is meant to relieve. A robot on a line whose bottleneck is upstream changes nothing. A SCADA system that nobody has been trained to interrogate becomes an expensive display.
Automation returns are real but they are specific. They come from removing a named constraint — cycle time on the limiting operation, rejection rate at a particular station, changeover duration, unplanned stoppage on a critical machine — and they need to be identified before equipment is specified.
What we do
Capabilities in this service
- Automation assessment and roadmap based on measured constraints rather than assumed ones
- PLC system design, panel engineering, supply, programming and commissioning
- SCADA and HMI design, development, integration and operator interface configuration
- DCS implementation and migration for continuous and batch process plants
- Industrial robotics — application assessment, integration, programming and safety systems
- Instrumentation selection, installation, calibration and loop checking
- Industrial IoT — machine-level sensing, data acquisition, connectivity and dashboards
- Motion control, drives, VFD systems and energy-efficient motor control
- Machine safety systems, interlocks, guarding and compliance with safety standards
- Retrofit automation on existing machinery and legacy control system upgrades
- Preventive maintenance, breakdown support and spares management for installed systems
Our process
How the engagement runs
Stage-wise, with the deliverable and typical duration for each. Timelines vary with project scale and authority response — these are indicative rather than contractual.
- 1
Plant assessment
1–2 weeksLine walk, cycle time study, constraint identification, downtime and rejection analysis, and a view of what is actually limiting output today.
Deliverable: Plant assessment and constraint analysis
- 2
Automation roadmap
2–3 weeksPrioritised interventions with expected benefit, capital requirement and payback for each, sequenced so that early work does not have to be undone later.
Deliverable: Phased automation roadmap with payback analysis
- 3
System design
3–6 weeksControl philosophy, I/O schedule, panel design, instrument specification, network architecture and safety system design for the selected scope.
Deliverable: Design package, drawings and bill of materials
- 4
Supply and build
6–12 weeksEquipment procurement, control panel fabrication and wiring, software development and factory acceptance testing before anything reaches site.
Deliverable: Tested panels, programmed systems and FAT records
- 5
Installation and commissioning
2–6 weeksSite installation, field wiring, loop checking, I/O verification, sequence testing, trial runs and performance demonstration under production conditions.
Deliverable: Commissioned system and site acceptance records
- 6
Training and support
1–2 weeksOperator and maintenance training, documentation handover, and an ongoing support arrangement covering preventive maintenance and breakdown response.
Deliverable: Trained team, documentation and support agreement

Who this is for
Typical client profiles
Why NITS Corp
Why bring this to us
Constraint first, equipment second
We measure what is actually limiting output before specifying anything. Automation applied away from the constraint produces no measurable return.
Program ownership stays with you
You receive source programs, documentation and backups. Dependence on a single integrator for routine changes is a real operating risk and we do not create it.
Integrated with plant execution
Where we also build the plant, automation is designed in from the start rather than retrofitted around decisions already made in civil and mechanical scope.
