Nemesys

What Nemesys does

Nemesys is a New Zealand-based industrial automation and control systems integrator that designs, implements, and supports PLC, HMI, SCADA, MES, and certified functional safety systems for asset-intensive manufacturers and infrastructure operators. The company delivers four core service lines: Infrastructure & Control System Consultancy (independent vendor-neutral advisory), Process Automation (control system design, instrumentation integration, and commissioning), Manufacturing Execution Systems (real-time production visibility from plant floor to enterprise), and Functional Safety (systems certified to AS/NZS 4024, ISO 13849, IEC 62061, and IEC 61508). Its technology stack integrates platforms from Wonderware, Schneider Electric, Siemens, GE, ABB, SICK, and Automation Direct, augmented by proprietary methodologies including a model-driven engineering approach, parallel HMI development, and a simulation-first delivery model that reduces commissioning risk. The company has also productized SmartBrew, a fully automated craft brewing platform (V6 launched April 2022, V7 launched 2024), and offers Digital Twin solutions for real-time process monitoring and predictive analytics.

The business operates a project-based professional services model with quote-driven pricing, multi-year contract cadences, and disclosed individual project values ranging from $2.3M to $4.5M. Go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise sales through three regional offices (Hamilton headquarters, New Plymouth/Taranaki, and Invercargill/Southland), targeting four vertical segments: Food & Beverage (its anchor vertical, particularly NZ dairy majors Fonterra, Synlait, Open Country Dairy, and Raglan Foods), Water & Wastewater, Energy & Infrastructure, and Industrial & Process Manufacturing. The company employs 30+ specialists across engineering, technical, and business support functions, and has delivered 500+ automation projects across NZ over 20+ years of combined expertise. Ownership is private and family-influenced, led by Managing Director Rex Robinson and Director of Business Operations Ruth Robinson, with no disclosed external investors, venture capital, or acquisition activity.

Regional players

• Beca Group: Large New Zealand-headquartered engineering consultancy with industrial and process automation practices. Comparable as a regional engineering services competitor pursuing similar NZ asset-intensive customers across F&B, water, and energy infrastructure.

Broad incumbents

• Honeywell: Process automation incumbent with strong installed base in F&B and water/wastewater verticals — the same verticals Nemesys targets. Competes via Experion DCS and Forge software but offers a much broader portfolio than a regional integrator.
• Mitsubishi Electric: Industrial automation and PLC supplier with global reach, overlapping with Nemesys's PLC/SCADA/HMI integration capabilities. Operates as both a hardware OEM and a system integration competitor in factory and process automation.
• Emerson: Process automation and control systems supplier (DeltaV) competing for the same dairy, water, and energy modernization mandates in NZ. Broad incumbent with software-defined automation roadmap that increasingly pressures traditional system integrators.
• Siemens: Global automation incumbent with a named New Zealand presence and OEM partnership with Nemesys. Overlaps on PLC/SCADA/DCS and drives but offers a vastly broader product portfolio including factory automation, motion control, and digital industries software.
• Schneider Electric: Industrial automation and energy management major with NZ operations and a strategic technology partnership with Nemesys. Competes in PLCs, HMI/SCADA, and process automation integration but at global scale with broader portfolio.
• ABB: Global automation and drives supplier with strong process-industry focus; supplies the ACS drives referenced in Nemesys's Fonterra project. Competes broadly in process automation, robotics, and electrical integration across NZ industrial accounts.
• Yokogawa: Process automation specialist with deep installed base in dairy and food/beverage globally. Targets the same continuous-process customers Nemesys serves in F&B and water, but typically competes for larger enterprise DCS mandates.
• Omron: Industrial automation components and systems provider with PLC, HMI, and safety offerings that compete for the same mid-market manufacturing and process integration mandates Nemesys targets.

Direct peers

• Rockwell Automation: Global leader in industrial automation, control systems, and PLC/HMI/SCADA integration — directly comparable to Nemesys's core delivery model of designing and commissioning control systems for asset-intensive customers, though at vastly greater scale.
