PLC & Automation Systems

Overview

We program, configure, and troubleshoot PLC systems onboard vessels across Europe, Middle East, Turkey, and Africa

Modern vessels depend on Programmable Logic Controllers for everything from emission control and ballast automation to energy management and engine room sequencing. When a PLC fails or behaves unexpectedly, the downstream effects reach compliance, operations, and class records fast.

About PANASIA & What Sets It Apart

The PLC is the brain behind most onboard automation. It controls sequencing, monitoring, safety shutdowns, and data exchange between systems. A fault in one PLC can trigger alarms across multiple systems simultaneously. Resolving it requires an engineer who understands both the controller and the system it manages.

System-agnostic capability: Our engineers work across multiple PLC brands and platforms — not tied to a single manufacturer's ecosystem
Compliance-critical: Emission control, ballast, and energy management systems all run on PLCs — keeping them functional is a regulatory matter, not just a technical one
Remote-first diagnosis: Many PLC faults can be partially or fully identified remotely before onboard attendance, reducing vessel disruption and time in port
