Cloud Orbit Technologies
Services · Industrial Automation

Industry 4.0 engineering, from the plant floor to the cloud.

Cloud Orbit is not a generic IT vendor. We build and integrate the control layer itself — PLC, SCADA, MES and IIoT — and connect it to ERP and cloud analytics so operations run on one live source of truth.

Capabilities

OT and IT, engineered as one system

Most integrators stop at the enterprise boundary. Our engineers work on both sides of it — writing ladder logic in the morning and API-led integration flows in the afternoon.

  • PLC & Control Systems

    Siemens S7 / TIA Portal, Rockwell Allen-Bradley, Beckhoff TwinCAT — new builds, migrations and line retrofits.

  • SCADA & HMI

    Ignition, WinCC and FactoryTalk dashboards giving operators real-time visibility of every asset and alarm.

  • MES & ERP Integration

    Machine data flowing into SAP, Oracle and Dynamics through OPC UA, MQTT and MuleSoft — no manual reconciliation.

  • IIoT & Edge Computing

    Edge gateways streaming high-frequency sensor data to AWS IoT / Azure IoT Hub with store-and-forward resilience.

  • Predictive Maintenance

    Vibration, thermal and current-signature models that flag bearing and motor failures weeks before breakdown.

  • Robotics & Vision Cells

    Pick-and-place, palletising and inline inspection cells with machine-vision quality gates.

Outcomes

Delivery Model

A five-stage automation lifecycle

Every engagement follows the same disciplined path, so plant managers always know what happens next and what it costs.

  • 1 · Plant Assessment

    Asset inventory, control-system audit and data-readiness scoring.

  • 2 · Architecture & Safety

    ISA-95 layered design, network segmentation and functional safety review.

  • 3 · Build & Commission

    Controls engineering, FAT/SAT, and commissioning with minimal line stoppage.

  • 4 · Connect & Analyse

    Historian, MES and cloud analytics pipelines wired to live production data.

  • 5 · Operate & Optimise

    24/7 monitoring, model retraining and continuous throughput improvement.
