Business Profile

Following in my father’s footsteps, my love for science and engineering started at a very young age. I used to spend countless hours in my dad’s garage building simple circuits with DC motors and LEDs. As I grew older, automation intrigued me more and I started experimenting with a simple button in the kitchen that was connected to a lamp in my room so that when dinner was ready my mum would press the button and I get notified.

During my studies at University, I focused mainly on PLC programming and automation. When I started working in the local industrial automation sector, I noticed that unfortunately the local industry still relies heavily on foreign companies for servicing and upgrading their machines. iAutomate was created to offer a faster and more reliable alternative with a complete solution in the mechanical and electrical domain.
