Independent team of automation engineers
Automation from design to commissioning.
We program PLCs, prepare visualisations and EPLAN drawings, assemble cabinets and support commissioning. We take on small and mid-sized projects or a defined part for an integrator. We work across Poland and can join commissioning projects abroad, including Germany.
- Four automation engineers, no sales department
- Small and mid-sized projects
- Based in Poland, commissioning in Germany
Scope: PLC • HMI/SCADA • EPLAN • Commissioning • Service
Why NexControl
You talk directly to the person who will work on your project.
We are a team of four automation engineers with experience in programming, electrical documentation, commissioning and on-site diagnostics. You discuss scope, timing and technical questions directly with the engineer who will carry out the work.
-
Direct contact
Technical questions go straight to an engineer. Scope gets agreed faster and decisions are made faster.
-
Flexible team
We can take over a whole small project or a specific part of a larger one: software, visualisation, documentation or commissioning.
-
Software + electrical
PLC and HMI programming combined with EPLAN design and cabinet work. Fewer problems at the interfaces.
-
Poland + travel
We work on sites across Poland and travel to Germany for commissioning. With international clients we communicate in English.
Services
How we can help
From a single program change to a control cabinet with software and commissioning.
What we can help with
- A machine needs modifications
- A new small or medium control system is needed
- An engineer is needed for commissioning
- An integrator needs a subcontractor
- An installation needs diagnostics
-
PLC programming
New programs, modifications and migrations for Siemens, Mitsubishi and Beckhoff controllers.
-
HMI / SCADA
Operator screens, alarms, trends and recipes in WinCC, WinCC Unified, ASIX, Weintek and other systems.
-
Electrical design and EPLAN
Cabinet and installation drawings, updates of existing documentation and EPLAN subcontracting.
-
Control cabinets
Cabinet design and assembly, software and commissioning. The scope is agreed for the specific machine or installation.
-
Commissioning and upgrades
Commissioning of machines and plants, I/O checks, on-site software fixes and upgrades.
-
Service and diagnostics
Automation breakdowns, PLC/HMI diagnostics, remote and on-site help. Service requests 24/7.
-
Support for system integrators
An extra automation engineer on your project: PLC, HMI, EPLAN, testing and start-up support.
-
Not sure where to start?
Describe the situation in your own words. We will suggest a sensible scope.
How we work
From design to commissioning
We can take on a small project or join at a specific stage. Before starting, we agree on our scope, responsibility for the remaining work and how the result will be checked.
-
01
Analysis
Call, documentation, site visit. We agree on scope, risks and what stays untouched.
-
02
Design
Control architecture, hardware selection, EPLAN drawings and I/O list.
-
03
Software / cabinet
PLC program, HMI/SCADA screens, cabinet prefabrication.
-
04
Testing
Simulation and logic checks before going to site.
-
05
Commissioning
I/O checks, start-up and on-site corrections.
-
06
Support
As-built documentation, program backups and help after start-up.
Team experience
Installations we have worked on
NexControl is a new brand, but we are not new to automation. Below are the types of installations where the team gained experience in earlier projects. They are not presented as NexControl projects, and we do not name plants or clients. Practical site experience covers commissioning, diagnostics, modifications to existing installations and integration of devices and control systems.
-
01
Process automation
Installations in the chemical and food industries: process control, visualisation, diagnostics, upgrades and commissioning.
-
02
Machine automation
Production machines, including solutions for the food industry: machine logic, operator panels and start-up.
-
03
Material handling
Control of a pallet transport system: roller conveyors, a lift and interaction with a robot.
-
04
Upgrades and service
On-site diagnostics, modifications to existing installations, integration of devices and control systems, and commissioning support.
-
05
Documentation and assembly
Cabinet assembly and prefabrication, electrical documentation and EPLAN projects.
Technologies
Systems we work with

For system integrators
Need an extra automation engineer for your project?
When projects pile up or a start-up date moves, we can join your team as a subcontractor. We take on a specific part, with a clearly agreed scope and reporting.
- We work within your standards, templates and project structure
- Site work in Poland and Germany
- Communication in English or Polish
Knowledge
Practical automation notes
Notes on diagnostics, upgrades and commissioning. We discuss signals, drawings and decisions to check before changing a control system.
-
Control upgrades: define the scope before shutdown
Define a PLC and HMI upgrade, prepare backups and plan tests, acceptance and restoration of the previous version.
