Bluemation

Industrial Automation Consulting

We help you make the right technical decisions. We analyse your processes, audit your systems and define the roadmap to optimise or digitalise your industrial plant.

Industrial Technical Consulting

Sound technical decisions from day one

Before investing in new equipment, software or integrations, it pays to have a clear picture of where you stand and where you want to go. A well-executed consulting engagement saves time, money and avoids costly mistakes in automation projects.

Bluemation brings over 10 years of industrial automation experience to help you assess your current situation, identify inefficiencies, select the right technology and design a realistic, prioritised action plan.

We work with companies just starting their automation journey and with plants that already have systems in place and want to optimise, expand or prepare for Industry 4.0.

Consulting Areas

How we can advise you

Existing systems audit

We carry out a thorough review of your current installations: PLCs, SCADAs, industrial networks and documentation. We identify risks, obsolete components and improvement opportunities in a detailed, prioritised report.

Technology selection

We help you choose the right platform: PLC brand and range, SCADA software, network architecture, communication protocols and programming tools matched to your processes and budget.

Process analysis and optimisation

We analyse your production processes to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies and automation opportunities. We propose concrete improvements with estimated return on investment.

Industry 4.0 roadmap

We design a digitalisation plan tailored to your plant: from machine connectivity and data collection through to OEE dashboards, predictive maintenance and ERP/MES integration.

OT risk assessment

We identify vulnerabilities in your operational networks and systems (OT). We propose segmentation measures, access controls and best practices aligned with IEC 62443 and NIS2.

Project technical specifications

We write detailed technical specifications for automation projects: scope, hardware and software requirements, protocols, programming standards and acceptance criteria (FAT/SAT).

Methodology

How we run a consulting engagement

01

Initial meeting and diagnosis

We understand your situation, objectives and constraints. We carry out a preliminary diagnosis to define the scope of the consulting engagement.

02

Information gathering and analysis

We visit your facilities, review existing technical documentation, interview the plant team and analyse the systems in operation.

03

Report and recommendations

We deliver a clear, actionable technical report with findings, prioritised recommendations, technology options and estimated costs and impact.

04

Implementation support

If needed, we remain as your technical reference throughout project execution: reviewing supplier proposals, technical validation and support on key decisions.

Why Choose Us

Consulting grounded in real technical experience

Engineers who also deliver

We are not just consultants — we are the same team that programmes PLCs, designs control cabinets and commissions systems. Our recommendations are grounded in the reality of execution.

Multi-technology expertise

We know the leading platforms in depth: Siemens, Beckhoff, Rockwell, Schneider, Codesys, Ignition, WinCC and more. We advise you without brand bias.

Focused on concrete results

Every consulting engagement ends with a clear deliverable: a report, a specification or a roadmap. No generic reports, no empty recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does an automation consulting engagement involve?
An automation consulting engagement is an independent technical analysis of your current situation and your goals. It can include: audit of existing systems, technology selection for a new project, process analysis to identify automation opportunities, OT risk assessment or preparation of technical specifications for an investment project.
When does it make sense to hire a consultant before a project?
It makes sense when you are about to make a significant investment in automation and want to be sure of choosing the right technology and properly sizing the project. It also makes sense when you have existing systems with recurring problems and want an independent opinion, or when you need to prepare technical specifications for a tender.
What deliverables does a Bluemation consulting engagement include?
Depending on scope: audit report with findings and prioritised recommendations, project technical specifications (URS/FS), digitalisation roadmap with investment estimate and ROI, comparative assessment of technology platforms or technical specifications for a tender.
Are you vendor-independent in consulting?
Yes. We have no exclusive agreements with any PLC or SCADA manufacturer. Our recommendations are based on the technical and economic analysis of the options available for each specific case, not on commercial margins from product sales.
Can you support us during project execution after the consulting?
Yes. We offer an accompaniment service as a technical reference during execution: review of integrator proposals, design validation, supervision of FAT/SAT testing and support for technical decision-making during the project. We can also execute the project directly if you prefer.
