Established in 1995, Stratos Control Systems has been delivering industrial automation and control engineering solutions for nearly three decades.
Over that time, we have supported manufacturing and industrial organisations across the UK with structured PLC programming, SCADA systems, control panel design, and phased modernisation strategies. Our longevity reflects a consistent focus on engineering quality, operational reliability, and long-term client partnerships.
Our Engineering Background
With extensive experience across manufacturing, heavy engineering, material handling, food and beverage, and industrial processing environments, we understand the operational realities of complex automation systems.
​
We work directly with Operations Directors, Engineering Managers, Maintenance Managers, and Automation Engineers to deliver practical, risk-managed control system improvements.
​
Our expertise spans:
-
PLC programming and structured control logic
-
SCADA system design and implementation
-
Control panel design and integration
-
Phased PLC migration and upgrade planning
-
Obsolescence risk management
-
Control boxes
​
We operate across leading industrial platforms including Siemens, Allen Bradley, and Mitsubishi.
A Structured Approach to Automation
Industrial automation environments often evolve incrementally over time. Without structure, this can lead to:
​
-
Inconsistent control architecture
-
Limited diagnostics
-
Increased maintenance burden
-
Obsolete hardware exposure
-
Rising technical debt
​
Our approach focuses on clarity and structure.
​
We assess lifecycle risk, define upgrade pathways, and implement phased modernisation strategies that minimise operational disruption while improving long-term maintainability.
​
Automation should reduce operational risk, not introduce it.
Engineering-Led Delivery
Our design electrical engineers make sure that every project is delivered with a strong emphasis on:
​
-
Structured PLC code standards
-
Clear alarm hierarchies
-
Maintainable SCADA architecture
-
Controlled commissioning processes
-
Comprehensive documentation
​
We prioritise systems that future engineering teams can inherit with confidence.
