Who We Help
Automation Support for Operations, Engineering & Maintenance Leaders
Industrial automation decisions rarely sit with one person.
​
Control systems affect production performance, maintenance workload, capital investment, safety compliance, and long-term operational risk.
​
At Stratos Control Systems Ltd, we support the technical and operational leaders responsible for keeping complex automation systems reliable, supportable, and scalable.
​
We work across manufacturing, food & beverage, packaging, material handling, and heavy engineering environments.
The Roles We Support
Automation impacts different stakeholders in different ways.
Our approach recognises the priorities of each.
Operations Directors
Responsible for uptime, throughput, and operational performance.
​
Common concerns include:
-
Reducing downtime caused by control systems
-
Protecting production continuity during upgrades
-
Improving visibility across complex systems
-
Ensuring automation supports long-term growth

Why Role Alignment Matters
Automation challenges rarely present themselves the same way to every stakeholder.
​
For example:
An Operations Director sees lost throughput.
A Maintenance Manager sees poor diagnostics.
An Engineering Manager sees architectural drift.
An Automation Engineer sees upgrade risk.
​
The technical root cause may be the same.
The impact and priority differ.
​
Understanding those perspectives allows us to design automation strategies that align operational, engineering, and maintenance objectives.
