What Optimation does

Optimotion (legal entity OPTIMATIKS SA DE CV) is a Monterrey, Mexico-based industrial automation integrator that designs, deploys, and supports SCADA, MES, and IIoT systems for mid-to-large manufacturing plants, primarily Tier 1 and OEM automotive suppliers, food and beverage processors, and metal-mechanical operations across northern Mexico. The company is an official certified integrator of the Ignition platform by Inductive Automation, leveraging Ignition's server-based unlimited licensing model, Perspective module for web-based HMI access, sub-100ms tag scanning, and 200+ native PLC/protocol drivers (OPC UA, Modbus, Ethernet/IP, MQTT, plus native drivers for Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Schneider, Mitsubishi, Omron, and others). On top of Ignition, Optimotion delivers both a standardized productized MES called ConnectMes (OEE, Andon, production management, cloud data collection) and fully custom MES builds with source-code ownership and no recurring license fees, alongside a custom Digital Inspection Application using DataMatrix scanning and photographic evidence capture for quality workflows.

The firm's commercial model is project-based professional services with multi-year contracts: a free technical diagnosis and quote-based scoping process, typical 7-10 week SCADA implementations and 8-12 week MES implementations, recurring technical support/SLA contracts post-go-live, and optional ConnectMes subscriptions for faster-deploy engagements. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales focused on 201-500+ employee plants across Monterrey, Saltillo, Ramos Arizpe, Torreón, and broader Mexico, with stated intent to expand to the United States via the American Chamber of Mexico network. Named customers include BorgWarner, Denso, Nemak, Parker, Deacero, Frisa, Metalsa, Vuteq, and Villa Avocado, with cumulative scale of 50+ projects delivered across 15+ years of operation and 15+ active client relationships. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the company appears to be founder/owner-operated with no institutional funding on record.

• Inductive Automation: Inductive Automation is the creator of the Ignition SCADA/MES platform that Optimotion exclusively implements. It is the upstream technology partner and defines the licensing, certification and roadmap that Optimotion's entire business model is built on.
• Schneider Electric: Schneider Electric offers EcoStruxure across PLCs, SCADA and MES, and is a frequent incumbent in Mexican manufacturing plants where Optimotion is bidding Ignition-based modernization projects.
• Siemens Digital Industries: Siemens provides SIMATIC PLCs, WinCC SCADA, and Opcenter MES — a comprehensive automation stack competing head-to-head with Optimotion's Ignition implementations at large automotive and industrial customers in Mexico.
• Honeywell Process Solutions: Honeywell provides Experion SCADA and MES solutions targeting process industries and large manufacturing operations, often competing with regional integrators like Optimotion for enterprise modernization contracts.
• Emerson Automation Solutions: Emerson's DeltaV and Movicon SCADA/MES platforms compete in process and hybrid industries where Optimotion is also bidding IIoT and MES modernization work in food & beverage and metal-mechanical customers.
• ABB: ABB offers System 800xA and associated MES/scada offerings, and operates a global network of system integrators in Mexico — directly comparable to Optimotion's role as a regional automation integrator serving discrete manufacturing.
• AVEVA: AVEVA (formerly Wonderware) supplies SCADA/HMI and MES platforms (System Platform, MES) widely deployed in process and discrete manufacturing — a direct alternative stack to Optimotion's Ignition offering for plant supervision and execution.
