Quality Oriented and Scalable
Full Stack Automation Done Right
End-to-end industrial automation services, from certified functional safety design to full plant commissioning, delivered with technical precision across every layer of the production stack.
From Concept
Through Commissioning
Mechatrolix is a specialist industrial automation consultancy offering integrated EC&I, PLC programming, SCADA development, Robot programming and functional safety services to manufacturers, process plants and OEMs across Africa and beyond.
We bridge the gap between engineering design and operational reality, delivering compliant, robust and maintainable automation solutions that meet international safety standards from concept through commissioning.
Meet the Director
Nine Disciplines.
One Accountable Partner.
Full-stack automation engineering from safety concept through commissioning sign-off.
Machine/Plant Risk Assessment & Functional Safety
ISO 13849, IEC 62061, IEC 61508, IEC 61511. SISTEMA calculations, safety concept documentation, SIL/PLr verification and safety circuit design.
PLC / DCS Programming
Siemens TIA Portal (S7-300/400/1200/1500) / PCS7, Allen-Bradley Studio 5000 (ControlLogix/CompactLogix), Beckhoff TwinCAT 3, OMRON Sysmac. IEC 61131-3 compliant.
SCADA / HMI Development & SQL Integration
WinCC v7.x/v8.x, WinCC Unified/Professional, FactoryTalk View SE, Ignition, Adroit SCADA. Historian configuration and SQL Server integration.
Low Voltage EC&I Solution Specification
MCC design, panel specifications, field instrument datasheets, cable schedules in compliance with applicable LV standards and project codes of practice.
Electrical Schematics & Panel Building
Electrical design (EPLAN Electric P8, AutoCAD Electrical), low voltage panel building, and electrical testing; single/multi-line diagrams, loop diagrams, panel layouts, terminal schedules, instrument index, BOM, panel assembly, continuity and insulation resistance testing, functional and loop checks, and Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) with documented test reports to IEC 61439.
Business Intelligence & Reporting Applications
Custom BI and analytics applications that turn operational data into actionable insight: production tracking, downtime and OEE dashboards, fleet and telematics reporting, MES/ERP integration, and automated exception alerting. Built on .NET framework and SQL Server, with Power BI/reporting layers where required, connecting field and operational data (PLC, SCADA, GPS/telematics, weighbridge, warehouse) into unified dashboards for management and operations teams across manufacturing, mining, logistics, and process industries.
FANUC Robot Programming
KAREL and Teach Pendant (TP) programming for welding, material handling, palletising and assembly applications on FANUC controllers.
Drives & Motion Control
Siemens SINAMICS, SEW Eurodrive, ABB ACS, Schneider Altivar, Danfoss VLT and Nidec Control Techniques drive selection, sizing and parameter configuration. Servo and motion control system design using Siemens S120 including multi-axis coordination, cam profiling and electronic gearing. Full site commissioning covering harmonic analysis, motor protection coordination and energy optimization for variable speed and precision motion applications across industrial processes.
Machine & Plant Commissioning / Project Management
FAT and SAT planning, site installation oversight, loop checking, handover documentation and subcontractor coordination through to sign-off.
Built Different.
Engineered to Deliver.
Single-Partner Accountability
Safety, electrical, PLC, SCADA, robotics and commissioning under one roof. No finger-pointing between subcontractors.
Standards-Compliant by Design
ISO 13849, IEC 62061 and IEC 61511 are built into the engineering process from the outset, not retrofitted as an afterthought.
Platform-Agnostic Capability
Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Beckhoff, OMRON: we select the best tool for your project, not the one we get commission on.
Field to Enterprise Integration
Field instrumentation through PLC, SCADA, SQL historian and .NET shop floor applications: the complete OT/IT stack.
Project Delivery Focus
End-to-end from specification through commissioning sign-off. FAT, SAT and loop-check documentation delivered on time, on scope.
