Automation & Control Systems
Tailored Industrial Automation Solutions for Manufacturing and Process Efficiency
At KAMAPS, we specialise in designing, programming, and integrating advanced automation and control systems for the manufacturing and process industries across the United Kingdom. Our solutions are engineered to increase productivity, enhance reliability, and ensure full operational visibility through the latest in industrial control technology.
Whether you need a full plant-wide automation system or a bespoke PLC control panel for a single application, we deliver fully integrated solutions that align with your production goals, energy usage strategies, and compliance obligations.
What Are Automation & Control Systems?
Industrial automation and control systems are technologies used to manage, regulate, and optimise machinery and processes within manufacturing environments. These systems combine hardware components, such as sensors, controllers, and actuators, with software platforms for monitoring, control, and data acquisition.
They form the backbone of modern industrial operations, reducing manual input, increasing consistency, and improving both product quality and energy efficiency.
Our Automation & Control Services Include:
-
Custom-designed PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) systems
-
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) platform development
-
HMI (Human-Machine Interface) design and programming
-
Control panel design, assembly, wiring, and testing
-
Integration with existing plant infrastructure
-
Remote monitoring, diagnostics, and maintenance tools
-
Functional safety assessments and fail-safe system design
-
System upgrades and retrofits for legacy equipment
-
On-site installation, commissioning, and ongoing technical support
Supported Devices and Brands
We work with a wide range of industry-leading automation hardware and software manufacturers, including:
Siemens (S7-1200, S7-1500, WinCC, TIA Portal)
Allen-Bradley / Rockwell Automation (ControlLogix, CompactLogix, FactoryTalk)
Mitsubishi Electric (FX5, iQ-R Series)

Programming Languages & Development Tools
-
Our engineering team is proficient in all major industrial programming languages as defined by IEC 61131-3, including:
-
Ladder Logic (LD)
-
Function Block Diagram (FBD)
-
Structured Text (ST)
-
Sequential Function Chart (SFC)
-
Instruction List (IL)
We utilise vendor-specific environments such as TIA Portal, Studio 5000, GX Works, and Codesys to ensure seamless integration, system flexibility, and future scalability.
-
Power & Enclosure Considerations
-
We design control systems to meet the full range of industrial power requirements, including:
-
24VDC control power
-
415V 3-phase AC supply
-
Redundant power supply systems
-
UPS backup and surge protection
Enclosures are built to industry standards such as IP65/IP66, ATEX, and NEMA ratings, ensuring safe operation in harsh or hazardous environments.
