Control, engineered.

We design and build bespoke control solutions for factory automation reliable, efficient and built to scale.

Mode Automatic specialises in the design and build of bespoke control solutions for factory automation. Founded in 2025, we work with manufacturers and machine builders who need control systems that just work from first concept through to a commissioned panel on the factory floor. We're control specialists first. That means every panel we design is built around how it will actually run in production, not just how it looks on a drawing.

What we do

Design

Control panel and system design engineered around your process, your standards and your machine.

Build

Panels built in-house to spec, wired, tested and ready for site.

Install

On-site installation carried out by engineers who understand the system, because they built it.

Commission

Full commissioning and functional testing, so your line runs right first time.

Software

PLC, HMI, motion and safety programming, built alongside the panel as one system rather than bolted on afterwards.

Standard Builds

Repeatable, pre-engineered panel designs for common applications — faster lead times, consistent quality.

Why Mode Automatic

Built for the factory floor, not just the drawing board

Automation projects fail at the handover points between design and build, between build and site. We remove those gaps by keeping design, build and commissioning under one roof, with one team accountable end to end.

Three reasons manufacturers work with us:

  • One team, start to finish — the engineer who designs your system is connected to the one who commissions it.
  • Built to scale — whether it's a single control panel or a multi-line rollout, our processes hold up.

Certified to UKCA, CE and UL — panels built and documented to the standards your machinery needs to ship and operate legally, from day one.

Standard builds

Not every project needs to start from a blank sheet. Our Standard Builds range covers common control panel configurations pre-engineered, tested designs ready to be specified against your application. Faster to quote, faster to build, faster to site.

From first concept through to a commissioned system on site here's a look at the work, not just the pitch.
