Industrial Automation in Pakistan

For plants that cannot stop. We integrate PLCs, SCADA and modern OT/IT bridges into production lines that are already running - retrofit paths for machines older than the engineers running them, without breaking the ones that still are.

Serving Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad and export-oriented clients. Australian-registered engineering firm (Incendio Solutions Pty Ltd) delivering to Pakistan-market pricing and export-standard quality. See the Australian practice page for the full technical scope this mirrors.

Scope

What industrial automation covers - and what it doesn't.

Industrial automation is control that keeps a plant producing safely and predictably. We treat it as a brownfield discipline: most of what we do is adding sensing, control and visibility to lines that were commissioned before the operators’ laptops were made.

In scope

  • PLC integration: Siemens S7, Allen-Bradley ControlLogix, Beckhoff, Omron
  • SCADA and HMI: Ignition, WinCC, FactoryTalk, custom web HMIs
  • OT/IT bridge: OPC UA, Modbus TCP/RTU, MQTT Sparkplug, historian integration
  • Retrofit sensing and edge inference cells on existing lines
  • Motion control, servo drives, and line synchronisation
  • Safety-adjacent design: interlocks, emergency stops, guarded zones
  • OEE, MES and downtime-classification systems

Honestly out of scope

  • Turnkey mechanical machine builds (we integrate; you or your OEM builds)
  • Certified functional-safety design (we design with FSE partners, not as one)
  • Full-time on-site maintenance operations
  • Reselling PLC or drive hardware as a distributor

Pricing (Pakistan)

Pakistan-market rates, Australian engineering standard.

PKR 1.5M-4M for retrofit sensing and dashboards; PKR 4M-15M for line-level PLC/HMI integration; PKR 10M-50M+ for multi-line plant-wide OEE and MES. Textile-mill, food-processing and cement-plant engagements are the most common local pattern.

All programs begin with a paid discovery week (typically PKR 100k-300k depending on scope) producing a written architecture, budget range and named risks - the same discovery output the Australian side delivers, tailored for Pakistan-market context.

Not currently. We are an Australian-registered engineering studio (Incendio Solutions Pty Ltd, Melbourne) serving Pakistani manufacturers, startups and export-oriented clients remotely and via periodic travel. The engineering standard, IP-transfer terms and contract law are Australian; the pricing is set for the Pakistan market. If a real Pakistan entity is required for your procurement process, we will say so.
Local manufacturers modernising their operations, technology startups building for domestic and export markets, and export-services teams delivering to overseas clients under our engineering standard. We are honest about not being an on-site team; the model is remote-first with scheduled travel when it materially improves the program.
PKR-denominated invoicing for Pakistan-domiciled clients through licensed remittance channels; USD-denominated invoicing for export-oriented engagements where the client is billing in USD themselves. All invoicing complies with SBP requirements.
PSQCA for domestic Pakistan-market products; CE and FCC for export markets we design towards. We work with Pakistan-based test-house partners for local certification runs where needed.
Yes, where the client wants a hybrid delivery model - our Australian team owns architecture and quality, Pakistan-based partners handle specific delivery streams. We disclose the split up-front and stay accountable for the whole program regardless of who executes each part.
