Industrial Automation is the general term for the hardware, software, and communication networks that provide control of a process or system with minimal human assistance.  An automation system typically consists of a Distributed Control System (DCS), Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), Remote Telemetry Units (RTUs), and Internet of Things (IOT) devices that provide monitoring, discrete control (on/off), analogue control (variable values), sequential control, state control, robotics, or advance controls (such as Artificial Intelligence, Expert Systems, or Machine Learning).

Operational technology environments face unique cyber risks that traditional IT security cannot fully address. While IT security focuses on protecting data, OT cybersecurity is fundamentally about protecting physical processes, equipment, and people. A cyber incident in an industrial setting can disrupt production, damage assets, or even compromise industrial safety.

Our IEC‑62443‑aligned cybersecurity services are designed specifically for industrial control systems and critical operations. We help organisations identify vulnerabilities, implement secure architectures, and build defence‑in‑depth strategies that keep systems resilient. By following the IEC‑62443 framework, we ensure your operations remain reliable, compliant, and—most importantly—safe.

Safety of Machinery is the area of risk management and functional safety related to the safety guarding, instrumentation, and control of machinery.   The Safety of Machinery processes for risk identification and reduction are guided by Government Codes of Practice and standards (AS4024 series, AS60204.1). 

Goto Electrical provides Safety of Machinery consultancy, design, and delivery to provide reliable, robust, and resilient Safety of Machinery systems for our clients.  Our principal engineer David Holman holds a Functional Safety Engineer certification from TUV Rheinland and has over 15 years’ experience with Safety of Machinery and Safety PLCs.
