Distribution Center & Industrial Automation Expert

Why Facilities Choose Swas Automation

You need someone who answers the phone, shows up on time, and actually solves the problem. That's what we do.

Founded in 2021, Swas Automation serves industrial facilities across the Ottawa-Oshawa corridor with one mission: provide the responsive, reliable automation expertise that keeps your operations running.

What We Actually Do

We specialize in three core services that industrial facilities actually need:

Who We Serve

We work with facilities that need reliable automation support without the overhead of big integrators:

• Automotive manufacturing & Tier 1 suppliers - Assembly lines, robotic cells, test equipment
• Food & beverage processing - Packaging lines, process control, sanitation systems
• Distribution & warehouse automation - Conveyor systems, sortation, material handling
• Pharmaceutical & nutraceutical - Validated systems, GMP-compliant documentation
• Packaging & contract packaging - Line integration, quick changeovers
• Plastics & injection molding - Auxiliary equipment, process optimization
• Municipal water/wastewater - SCADA systems, pump controls, modernization projects

The Swas Automation Difference

You're Not Just Hiring a Programmer - You're Getting a Partner

We built this business after 15+ years in automotive automation because we saw a gap: facilities need responsive, quality automation support without the bureaucracy of large integrators or the risk of inexperienced contractors.

What makes us different:

• We answer our phone. Seriously. Call right now and see.
• We show up when we say we will. Your downtime costs thousands per hour. We respect that.
• We explain things clearly. No jargon, no BS. You'll understand what we're doing and why.
• We document everything. Your maintenance team gets complete drawings and documentation. Always.
• We quote fast. Send us your requirements, get a fixed price within 24 hours.
• We're invested in your success. We want to be your go-to automation resource for years, not just one project.

Our Background

Before starting Swas Automation, our founder spent over 15 years programming and commissioning automation systems across automotive manufacturing and warehouse distribution operations. That means hundreds of projects involving:

• Warehouse distribution center automation: Conveyor control systems, sortation logic, material handling integration
• Robotic palletizing cells: Complete system design, HMI development, cycle time optimization (achieved 15-20% reductions through program refinement)
• Performance optimization: Improved cycle times through PLC program analysis and modification - identifying delays, optimizing motion sequences, refining logic
• System integration projects: Added new conveyors, robots, and equipment into existing automated systems while maintaining production schedules
• PLC program modifications: Updated legacy systems to add new functionality, improve reliability, and accommodate process changes
• Control panel design: Complete electrical design from concept through fabrication for complex automated systems
• HMI development: Operator interfaces for warehouse systems, palletizers, and production lines
• Automotive assembly lines: High-speed robotic systems requiring 99.9%+ uptime
• Complex networked systems: Multi-station operations with dozens of PLCs communicating seamlessly
• Safety-critical systems: Rigorous validation and documentation for regulatory compliance
• Emergency response: Fast-turnaround modifications during production crises - we debug under pressure

Warehouse & distribution automation is our specialty. We understand conveyor control logic, zone accumulation, diverters, scanners, sortation systems, and the integration challenges that come with them. We've debugged systems at 2am when the shift supervisor is panicking because packages are backing up.

We excel at brownfield projects - integrating new equipment into your existing system without shutting down your operation. Need to add a new conveyor line? Integrate a second palletizer? Upgrade old equipment while keeping the rest running? That's our specialty. We plan the integration, modify the PLC programs, test thoroughly, and execute during your maintenance windows.

That hands-on experience translates directly to better service for you: faster debugging, optimized cycle times, cleaner code, seamless integrations, proper documentation, and systems that actually work long-term.

How We Work

Step 1: Contact Us

Call, email, or use our contact form. Tell us what you need - emergency repair, new project, whatever. We respond within 4 hours (usually much faster).

Step 2: Quick Assessment

For emergencies, we're troubleshooting over the phone immediately. For projects, we ask a few questions to understand your needs and schedule a site visit if needed.

Step 3: Clear Quote

You get a fixed-price quote within 24 hours for project work, or we confirm our emergency hourly rate. No hidden fees, no surprises.

Step 4: We Execute

We show up on time, do the work efficiently, and communicate throughout. You always know what's happening.

Step 5: Complete Documentation

Every project includes full documentation - updated electrical drawings, program backups, operation notes. Your maintenance team gets everything they need.

Step 6: Ongoing Support

We're available for follow-up questions, modifications, or future projects. Many clients keep us on monthly retainer as their backup automation resource.

Ready to Work Together?

Whether you need emergency support right now or want to discuss an upcoming project, we're here to help.

Current clients: We typically have availability for new projects within 1-2 weeks. Emergency service is available 24/7 with 4-hour response guarantee.
