Liam Bee
I have worked in automation for over 20 years. I came from a maintenance background but worked my way up to a software engineer. I understand what is required to create safe, easy to maintain systems.
I love the CoDeSys platform and have worked with Allen Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, SoMachine (Schneider) and also other systems like LabVIEW and .Net.

Automation Support - Initial Call
A no-obligation introductory call to discuss whether a Remote Support & Guidance retainer is the right fit for your facility.
During this call we will cover:
- Your current automation setup and the challenges your team faces
- How many PLCs and control systems you operate, to help identify the right package tier
- What kind of support would be most valuable to your team (fault diagnostics, modification review, general technical guidance, etc.)
- How the retainer model works in practice, including billing, hours tracking, and how to access support
- Any specific requirements for your site, such as preferred communication methods, shift patterns, or platform-specific needs
- Payment setup and next steps to get your retainer active
This call is a conversation, not a sales pitch. If the retainer model suits your situation, we will get you set up. If it does not, I will be honest about that and suggest alternatives where I can.
No preparation is needed from your side, but it helps to have a rough idea of how many automation systems your facility runs and how often your team encounters issues that would benefit from external input.
