Industrial automation · Portlaoise, Ireland
Your plant's automation engineer,
when you need one.
Eolas Automation works alongside maintenance and engineering teams to keep existing production equipment running. Get specialist help with faults, controls changes, backups and planned upgrades through a defined job or an ongoing support agreement.
What we do
Keep the process running. Solve what gets in its way.
The process may stay the same for years. Equipment still fails, software needs backing up, components reach end of life and small changes add up. Eolas provides the automation expertise to handle that work.
Ongoing automation cover
Agreed visits and direct technical input for teams without a full-time controls specialist.
Controls changes & small projects
Make practical machine and process improvements, then test, document and hand them over.
Surveys & planned upgrades
Review obsolescence, software backups and spares; plan replacements of drives, PLCs or HMIs when needed.
Ongoing support
Automation expertise without a full-time hire.
Some plants have a steady workload for a dedicated automation engineer. Others need specialist support at intervals. We agree the visits, access and scope that fit your site and work with your existing team.
Engineering time that fits your site.
A site-specific agreement can combine planned visits, agreed remote support and follow-up work on the issues your team encounters in production.
- Agreed site visits
- Fault review and diagnostics
- Backups and documentation
- Minor controls changes
One example of the work
Drive upgrades that fit the machine.
When a drive is ageing or unsupported, Eolas can survey the whole application and plan its replacement. This is one part of the wider automation support offering.
The correct family depends on the motor, load, control mode, braking, feedback, safety and network requirements—not simply the existing drive rating.
From survey to working machine.
01Application survey
Drive, motor, load, braking, encoder, I/O and panel data captured on site.
02Migration design
Replacement selection, electrical changes, safety functions and control interface defined.
03PLC & network integration
PROFIBUS or PROFINET, telegrams, setpoints, feedback, alarms and HMI updates handled.
04Commission & document
Motor identification, tuning, functional testing and verified parameter backups delivered.
Experience behind Eolas
Practical automation and electrical depth.
Experience on live manufacturing equipment spans PLC logic, HMI, drives, panels, field wiring, machine safety and instrumentation. The example below shows how that broader view applies to a drive retrofit.

Ageing drive hardware
Legacy installations can start with any of several makes and control arrangements.

SINAMICS G120 / S120
Choose the appropriate drive for the duty and adapt the panel and controls around it.

Integrate SIMATIC control and drive communications where the process requires them, then commission and back up the final setup.
For service-agreement customers
Your controls support, in one secure place.
A customer portal is planned for agreement customers: request help directly, reach your approved drawings and controls backups, and alert Eolas when support is needed.
