Industrial automation

PLC, SCADA and monitoring - from engineers with 20 years of experience.

Darbo Group builds industrial systems to measure - PLC and PAC, our own DarboX-SCADA, IoT and remote monitoring, from sensor to web application. Partner of Schneider Electric and Unitronics.

Vision

Built to measure - not off-the-shelf.

We don't work like a standard system integrator that bends someone else's pre-programmed equipment to fit the problem. We start from the client's needs and develop a solution that fits exactly those needs.

We rely on our own capabilities: fundamental programming, our own protocols such as DarboX-LoRa, our own SCADA system - DarboX-SCADA - and complete applications developed in-house. We use proven industrial protocols wherever they are the right choice.

We see every project through from start to finish and into operation: choosing the right platforms, programming the PLCs, selecting sensors, actuators and converters, configuring VPN and cloud, and building a complete web application.

We test every process thoroughly, including with the help of artificial intelligence. Some of our work is AI-driven: we have our own models, trained for our needs, which help us build certain applications and components.

Mission

To develop solutions built to measure, based on the client's needs - rather than adapting pre-programmed equipment from various brands to the problem. We rely on our own capabilities: fundamental programming, our own protocols such as DarboX-LoRa, our own DarboX-SCADA, IoT and complete applications developed in-house. We see every solution through from start to finish and into operation - from choosing the right platforms, programming the PLCs and selecting sensors and actuators, to configuring VPN and cloud and building the complete web application. Everything is thoroughly tested, including with our own AI models.

Goals
  • Every solution built to measure: starting from the client's need, not from a manufacturer's catalogue.
  • Our own technology instead of off-the-shelf packages: our DarboX-LoRa protocol, our DarboX-SCADA and our own trained AI models.
  • Reliability before handover: every process is thoroughly tested, including with the help of AI.
  • Start to finish: the same team leads the project - from assessment and design to putting it into operation.
  • Support after handover: remote monitoring, maintenance and system upgrades.
