Ethos

Since entering the manufacturing industry in the early 2010s, we have witnessed a quiet revolution in industrial automation. PLC hardware, once limited to basic control tasks, has rapidly evolved. In just over a decade, Rockwell alone has released three generations of processors, each more powerful than the last. Today, modern PLCs rival personal computers in capability, opening the door to a new era of software driven control.

Traditionally, complex challenges in machine design were addressed with intricate mechanical solutions like cam systems, linkages, and custom gearing. These methods, while effective, were costly, rigid, and time consuming to iterate. As PLCs grew more capable, those same problems could increasingly be solved in software through virtual camming, motion profiles, and logic based sequencing.

This shift from mechanical to software defined solutions has proven to be not only more adaptable, but also more cost effective. Changes that once required re-machining or re-engineering can now be made with a few lines of code.

And yet, the industry seems to have stopped short. We have embraced smarter control of mechanical systems, but what about everything else?

Why are we not extending this software first mindset beyond machine control? While control systems have advanced tremendously in capability, enabling us to solve mechanical challenges more cost effectively through software, the discipline of control systems engineering has not kept pace with modern software engineering practices. In many ways, the industry treats control logic as bespoke, one off development. But just as we have seen gains by shifting mechanical complexity into programmable logic, we can unlock even greater efficiency and maintainability by adopting proven software engineering principles, like modular, library based code, version control, and structured development workflows. By bridging this gap, we can transform control systems from isolated solutions into scalable, reusable, and robust platforms.

These questions led to the founding of TenX Development. At TenX, we believe the control system is only the beginning. By treating automation not just as hardware, but as a platform connecting PLCs, visualization tools, databases, and decision systems we aim to help manufacturers unlock the full potential of their data, processes, and teams.
