Automationand control
We work for integrators, panel builders and special-purpose machine makers. A plant's project engineer specifying a new line reads your proposals for platform, safety competence and sector references; we read them the same way and say what to fix first.
Start with the free Findability Check, which reports within the hour whether the AI tools name you for integrators, panel builders and special-purpose machinery, or book the Sales Engine Audit, from £750.
What a project engineer checks before the controls package is let
A project engineer checks the PLC and drive platforms you work on, your safety competence and the standards you design to, references in their own sector, and the support you give after handover. A new line or a new site is when that engineer is drawing up the supplier list for the controls package.
The question a plant engineer puts to Perplexity
“Siemens-certified integrators in the East of England with food sector references”
Perplexity answers that from what integrators publish about platforms, competence and references, and ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude work from the same pages. If your site names the platforms, the partner status and the sectors you have commissioned in, the assistants can match you to the question.
The free Findability Check shows within the hour whether the assistants name you for questions like that one, and which integrators they name instead.
Which public signals mean a plant is about to buy
For an integrator the signals are capital investment announcements naming new lines, planning consents for production buildings, and vacancies for controls and maintenance engineers. The capital investment announcement is the strongest of these. A new line at a food or packaging plant already has a named project engineer and a date it has to be running by, and the controls package is specified early in that project.
We read the capital investment announcements in the trade press and in company news, the planning portals for production buildings, and the vacancies for controls and maintenance engineers, every morning. Each item is scored against the platforms and the sectors you have references in, and the email goes to the project or engineering manager once you have approved it.
The investment announcements come first
We start with the capital investment announcements in the sectors you have references in. We agree with you which plants and project sizes are worth an email, find the project or engineering manager behind the announcement, and write about the line they are building rather than about you. On the site we put the platforms, the partner status and a list of commissioned projects with sector and scope on one page, so the engineer who reads the email finds the same facts when they check.
| Platform | Safety | Sector |

| Rockwell Studio 5000 | GuardLogix, SIL 2 | Automotive tier one |
| Beckhoff TwinCAT | Pilz PNOZmulti, PL d | Packaging |
| ABB and Fanuc robot cells | Risk assessment to ISO/TS 15066 for collaborative cells | Pharmaceutical |

The audit before the first email
The Sales Engine Audit records whether the assistants name you for the platforms and the sectors you have references in, reads a sample of your proposals, and comes back within a week of our having access with the fixes in priority order, each with a rough cost and effort, and a one-hour call to go through them. The full description and the three tiers are on the Find out where you stand page.
Other sectors
The audit for anintegrator is £750
Prices exclude VAT. Monthly items stop at any month end.
The audit says whether the assistants name you for your platforms and the sectors you have references in, and what to fix before we write to the first plant.
