Total Automation Solutions

What Total Automation Solutions does

Total Automation Solutions (TAS) is an industrial automation and IIoT systems integrator founded in 2006 in Pune, India, by former Honeywell executives Babu Pokharkar (CEO) and Venkatesh Majeti (CTO). The company delivers OT/IT convergence solutions spanning PLC, DCS, SCADA, RTU, BMS, and edge-to-cloud platforms for asset-heavy enterprises across Oil & Gas, Manufacturing, Energy & Utilities, Smart Buildings/Data Centres, and Environmental Compliance verticals. Its technology stack is anchored by the proprietary ADVAIT IIoT platform (offering OEE, Quality 4.0, EMS, EHS 4.0, CMMS, and Condition Monitoring modules) and the WP500 hardened Linux RTU/edge gateway with IEC 62443-4-2 cybersecurity certification. The TASm2m gateway and datamaster product line extends the connectivity layer across M2M, renewable, process, and healthcare applications.

The business model blends three revenue streams: project-based Automation, EPC, and Remote Engineering services; custom software development and offshore development center (ODC) engagements; and productized platform and hardware sales (ADVAIT subscription licensing, WP500 hardware, OCEMS analyzers) supplemented by recurring AMC and managed service contracts. TAS sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales to plant heads, operations directors, and engineering leadership, with inside sales and product websites (tasind.com, advait.io) handling inbound product enquiries. The company maintains offices in India (Pune HQ), USA (Houston), Oman (Muscat), and Qatar (Doha), serving a cumulative base of 300+ customers across 1,200+ commissioned projects. Pricing is universally quote-based and not publicly disclosed; engagements are scoped per project complexity, asset count, and integration depth, with multi-year contracts for EPC and ODC work and annual billing for AMC and ADVAIT subscriptions. Differentiators cited by TAS include deep cross-vendor OT integration capability, vendor-neutral interoperability with Rockwell/Siemens/Honeywell/ABB/Trane installations, and cybersecurity credentials (ISO 9001:2015, IEC 62443, ATEX for hazardous-area sensors).
