Industrial automation, control & safety.
From concept to commissioning — across every major platform.
For process plants and production lines. A Vienna team of senior engineers, from specification to start-up.
About Synelecs
A Vienna-based team of senior automation engineers, founded in 2017, who take control systems from specification through FAT to start-up: on DCS, safety systems, PLCs, robots and SCADA from every major vendor. We are vendor-agnostic, so we recommend the platform that fits the project, not the one we happen to know best. Functional safety work is done by TÜV-certified engineers. Work with us as individual specialists or as a complete project team.
