What Plcopen Automação does

PLC Open Automação Industrial is a privately-held Brazilian industrial automation services company founded in 2004 and headquartered in Santa Bárbara d'Oeste, São Paulo. The firm provides end-to-end engineering services spanning custom automated device design and fabrication, process automation, SCADA supervision systems, mechanical and electrical assembly and maintenance, AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) design and manufacturing, and real-time telemetry and monitoring systems. Its technical stack is built around PLC and HMI programming across major industrial platforms (Schneider, Rockwell, Siemens, Omron, Toyopuc, Moeller), industrial communication protocols (Modbus, DeviceNet, CAN, Profibus), and SCADA system development with ERP/BI integration capabilities, all delivered in compliance with Brazilian electrical standards NR-10 and NBR-5410.

The company operates with a small team of approximately 7 employees and delivers projects through direct B2B sales to enterprise industrial clients. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services for automation, fabrication, and integration work, supplemented by recurring revenue from 24-hour technical support contracts and ongoing maintenance engagements. Customer logos include Toyota, Honda, John Deere, Bosch, Sanofi, Galderma, Ihara, and BRK, spanning automotive, pharmaceutical, chemical, sanitation, textile, food, and agricultural verticals. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise field sales with no third-party channel or digital marketing presence, and no external funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, or AI/ML capabilities are documented in available sources.

The business model is characteristic of a specialized regional engineering services firm: high-touch, project-driven engagements with enterprise clients who value custom fabrication capability, multi-vendor technical expertise, and around-the-clock technical support. Geographic operations are concentrated in São Paulo state, Brazil, and the firm has sustained continuous operation for over 19 years without documented leadership transitions, M&A activity, or capital-raising events.
