Do you handle PLC, SCADA and HMI retrofits?
Yes. We support retrofit and upgrade work for legacy control systems, including PLC replacement, HMI redesign, I/O reviews and live commissioning.
Industrial Automation
Industrial automation engineering in the UAE for PLC, SCADA and HMI systems.
We design, engineer and commission industrial automation systems — what many buyers call factory automation — for manufacturers that need reliable PLC, SCADA and HMI performance. From control strategy and panel design to FAT/SAT, VFD tuning and live operations, we deliver safer, more efficient production lines. Need robot cells too? See our robotics integration page.

Automation FAQ
Common questions about industrial automation projects.
These are some of the questions we hear most often from teams planning PLC, SCADA and HMI upgrades.
Which automation platforms do you support?
We work with Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi and other common industrial platforms for control logic, visualization, drives and communications.
Can automation systems feed Industrial IoT dashboards?
Yes. We integrate PLC and SCADA environments with Industrial IoT systems so production, downtime, alarms and OEE data can be monitored in real time.
FAQ
Questions plant engineers ask
Practical answers on PLC and SCADA automation — from Sharjah, for plants in the UAE and GCC.
Which platforms do you support?
Siemens, Schneider, Allen-Bradley, Beckhoff and related PLC/SCADA/HMI stacks, plus brownfield mixed vendors.
Is robotics the same as industrial automation?
No. This page is PLC, SCADA and HMI. Robotics is robot cells and tooling. Buyers often search “automation” for both — SAS delivers them as one system when the line needs both.
Can automation include IoT dashboards?
Yes. Many projects expand into OPC UA/MQTT connectivity and dashboards once the control layer is stable.
Do you work on site in the UAE and GCC?
Yes. SAS Middle East FZC is based in Hamriyah Free Zone, Sharjah. We survey, engineer and commission PLC and SCADA automation on site across the UAE and GCC.
