Real-Time Control for Industrial Automation Operations

Running industrial automation service means handling site surveys, PLC/HMI programming, sensor/actuator wiring, drive/VFD setup, SCADA integrations, commissioning, FAT/SAT support, change requests, and corrective maintenance — often across plants, lines, and cells with strict access, safety, and downtime windows. Teams need live visibility of who’s on-site, which panels/lines are in scope, what parts and tools are issued, and where work is slipping. That’s why Shifton delivers a field service platform built for Industrial Automation — clear statuses, precise assignments, and clean handoffs between engineering, dispatch, maintenance, and production.
