Team Elio
Seriously skilled people
Behind every solution are people who have worked at shipyards, in factory halls and in control rooms. We have long experience from the maritime industry, aquaculture, food, process and machinery – and we know the platforms from the inside: PLCs from a range of vendors, Ignition SCADA, robotics and electrical schematics.
