Plenty of consultancies can draw you a solution. We design it, manufacture the control cabinet, run the electrical, fabricate the mechanical, program the PLC and SCADA, commission the system and then support it — one accountable team from concept to production.
You also get code you actually own. Programs documented and version-controlled, drawings that match the installed system, and a handover pack your team can work from. We have taken over too many undocumented systems from contractors who moved on to leave anyone else in that position.

- Control cabinet manufacture and mechanical workshop under the same roof

What clients say
Long relationships are our best reference — many clients have worked with us for decades.
“Mobile Automation integrated our furnace with an ABB robot — control system, safety, interface software and training. Their solutions were based on our requirements, not on selling a product. Experienced, skilled and very professional.”
Roshan — National Engineering Coordinator, CSIRO“Our multimillion-dollar plant upgrade had to go live over Christmas, when skilled tradesmen were scarce. Mobile Automation got our new equipment live on a very tight deadline. I'd highly recommend them for projects big or small.”
Scott — Plant Manager, INEX Independent Extrusions“The team have proven to be technically proficient, detail oriented and have worked diligently on each project to deliver successful outcomes. Mobile Automation remain a vendor of choice for our automation needs.”
Chris — Group Operations Manager, CA Group“Mobile Automation upgraded and automated seven of our twelve tube-bending machines, on time and on budget. When a freak accident left us without electrical services, their team worked around the clock to get production back with minimal delay.”
Darren — Operations Manager, Atmus“They designed, engineered and automated our ideas into reality — project management, design, CAD, manufacturing and installation as a complete turnkey solution. A great crew who get the job done.”
Daniel — Managing Director, Secure Hard Drive Destruction“Our Double End Tenon Saw upgrade was technically complex — converting to solid state with CAT 4 safety controls. Delivered on time and on budget, and two years on we've had no service calls. A stable system our operators trust.”
Dowell Windows“We rely on our roll-forming machines to meet strict automotive deadlines. Mobile Automation has supported us for years with real technical expertise and a quick breakdown response that keeps our downtime manageable.”
Joe — Engineering Manager, Accurate Profile Roll Forming“When our regular electrician couldn't attend a critical breakdown, Mobile Automation had a Special Class electrician on site within the hour and the fault fixed fast. We now rely on them for our critical operations.”
