process autoMotion

We provide a variety of solutions for process and hybrid industries through our Process Automation division. These solutions include measurement and analytics, control technologies, electrification and digital solutions, industry-specific integrated automation, software, and advanced services.

Automate, Optimize, and Control Your Operations

Control systems, measurement, and industrial software that make process industries safer, more productive, and more sustainable — from a single plant to an entire enterprise.

The world's process industries

Energy, water, chemicals, minerals, pulp and paper, and more — run on precise, continuous control. Behind every reliable production line and every safely managed plant is an automation system measuring, deciding, and adjusting thousands of times a second.

We deliver the control systems, instrumentation, and software that let you run those operations with confidence. Our solutions help you see what's happening across your plant in real time, control it precisely, protect people and assets, and continuously improve efficiency, quality, and sustainability.

The goal is straightforward: turn data into better decisions, and better decisions into safer, leaner, more profitable operations.

key advantages of process automation

Higher Productivity

Automated processes run continuously and consistently, reducing bottlenecks and manual delays. Optimised control squeezes more output from the same assets—improving throughput without added capital.

Consistent Quality

Precise, repeatable control keeps every batch and every product within specification. Less variability means less rework, less waste, and a more reliable end product.

Improved Safety

Dedicated safety systems and continuous monitoring protect workers, equipment, and the environment — detecting hazardous conditions and taking protective action faster than any manual response.

Lower Operating Costs

Automation reduces energy use, raw material waste, and manual labour on repetitive tasks — while helping you avoid the costly consequences of unplanned downtime.

Real-Time Visibility

Modern control systems give operators and managers a live, plant-wide view of every process. Better visibility means faster, better-informed decisions at every level.

Predictive Maintenance

Connected instruments and analytics detect developing faults before they cause failures — shifting maintenance from reactive to planned, cutting downtime, and extending asset life.

Energy Efficiency and Sustainability

By optimising how energy and resources are used across a process, automation reduces consumption, emissions, and waste — directly supporting decarbonisation and efficiency targets.

Scalability and Flexibility

Modern automation architectures grow with you — from a single unit to a multi-site enterprise — and adapt as your processes, products, and priorities change.

our process automation solutions

Distributed Control Systems (DCS)

The central nervous system of your plant — integrating control, operations, and information into a single environment for managing continuous and batch processes.

Measurement and Analytics / Instrumentation

Field instruments and analysers that measure flow, pressure, temperature, level, and composition with precision — the accurate data every good decision depends on.

Control and Automation Hardware

Controllers, I/O systems, and field devices that form a robust, reliable foundation for automating your operations.

Industrial Software

Software for operations management, production optimisation, asset performance, energy management, and advanced process control — turning raw data into measurable results.

Digital and Analytics Solutions

Analytics, remote monitoring, and digital twin capabilities that help you predict, simulate, and optimise plant performance.

frequently asked questions

What's the difference between process automation and factory automation?

Process automation manages continuous or batch processes involving fluids, chemicals, and materials — think refineries, water plants, and paper mills. Factory (or discrete) automation handles the production of distinct, countable items, like assembling cars or packaging goods. The technologies overlap but are optimised for different needs.

A distributed control system is the central platform that monitors and controls a plant's processes. It integrates control, operations, and information so operators can run complex processes safely and efficiently from a unified environment.

Absolutely. Dedicated safety systems continuously monitor for hazardous conditions and can act far faster than any human — shutting down equipment, isolating hazards, and protecting people, assets, and the environment.

Yes. By optimising energy and resource use across your processes, automation cuts consumption, waste, and emissions — making it a powerful lever for efficiency and decarbonisation targets.

Both. We provide new automation solutions and also support, upgrade, and modernise existing systems — extending their life and keeping them secure and current.
