What Quantum Control Systems does

Quantum Control Systems is a Sydney-based industrial automation systems integrator providing turnkey control, electrical, and automation solutions to enterprise manufacturers. Founded in 2017 and operating with a team of 1-10, the company designs, programs, commissions and maintains PLC, HMI, SCADA and variable speed drive systems across multiple platforms including Rockwell Automation (Logix500/Studio5000, FactoryTalk View), Siemens (TIA Portal, Step 7, WinCC), Citect, Wonderware, Ignition, Mitsubishi, Schneider, GE, Omron, and Panasonic. Service delivery spans PLC/HMI/SCADA software development, control panel building, instrumentation, electrical installation, commissioning, documentation, and on-site support including shift coverage and a 24/7 breakdown service line.

The company's customer base is concentrated in Australian food & beverage, FMCG and industrial manufacturing, with named enterprise accounts including Bega, Unilever (Streets Ice Cream), Ferrero, Tetra Pak, Diageo, Sara Lee, Simplot, Primo Foods, Noumi, United Initiators, Ingersoll Rand, and Ventia. It complements traditional automation work with AI-augmented offerings — AI Vision Systems for automated defect detection, OEE Monitoring & Data, and AI-driven Waste Optimisation — positioning these as differentiated services layered on top of incumbent PLC/SCADA stacks.

The business model is a mix of project-based professional services (end-to-end automation and electrical project delivery), managed services (day-to-day automation support, shift coverage, 24/7 breakdown), and hardware-adjacent services (control panel building, drive servicing). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the go-to-market is enterprise field sales complemented by sub-contractor relationships with Rockwell Automation's NSW service team and Colterlec/Danfoss, plus inbound lead generation via an active blog and SEO-optimised website. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding.
