Built by engineers,
for engineers.
We're an Australian team with engineers in Melbourne and Brisbane — building the tools and systems that industrial automation has been waiting for.
From the plant floor up
Botworx started where industrial automation starts — on site. Across power generation, LNG, water treatment, mining, manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals, our engineers have designed, configured, tested, troubleshot, and commissioned PLC, DCS, and SCADA systems using platforms from Yokogawa, Siemens, ABB, Rockwell, Schneider, and Trihedral.
Alongside that work, we were already researching robotics and AI. When the pandemic created workforce gaps and operational pressure for businesses, we applied that research practically — building BotMover, BotKiosk, BotPatrol, and the BotConnect remote-operation platform to help facilities keep running. That line of work has continued, and new products are on the way.
As AI became more capable, our engineering experience made one thing clear: it could not simply be bolted onto traditional industrial systems and project workflows. To be useful in the real world, it had to be part of the way systems are designed, tested, operated, and supported from the beginning. That thinking led to Glia — built from the ground up for AI-native industrial control.
The same reasoning shaped Forge. Traditional project delivery tools and processes were never designed for the level of traceability, transparency, and automation now possible. Forge is our answer: a delivery model built around clear scope, visible progress, and engineering work that can be understood as it happens.
Control Systems Engineering
A continuing engineering stream across PLC, DCS, and SCADA design, testing, and commissioning.
Robotics
A parallel product-development stream spanning autonomous robots, embedded systems, and remote operation.
Glia
Brings both streams together in an AI-native industrial control system OS.
Forge
A delivery model shaped by years of engineering project experience.
Control systems across industry
Our engineers have contributed to control and automation projects across power generation, LNG, mining, water treatment, manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals through contracted services and embedded roles within client and delivery-partner teams. These assignments built the domain expertise behind Botworx product development.
Hardware and software products
Botworx has applied that expertise to the BotMover AMR and its embedded electronics, BotConnect for autonomous operation and remote teleoperation, and Glia for industrial control software.

Our Mission
"We believe industrial automation should be open, intelligent, and accessible."
Australian. Multidisciplinary.
A team of automation engineers, robotics engineers, and software developers across Melbourne and Brisbane.
Automation Engineers
PLC, SCADA, and control systems expertise from years in the field.
Robotics Engineers
Mechanical, electrical, and embedded systems — from concept through deployment.
Software Developers
Full-stack, cloud, and AI — building the digital layer of industrial systems.
What drives us
Engineering Excellence
Every system we build is designed to last. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of industrial engineering.
Transparency
From pricing to project tracking, we believe in full visibility. No hidden costs, no black boxes.
Australian-Made
Designed, engineered, and built in Australia. We are proudly local with a global perspective.
Innovation
We don't just improve the existing stack — we rethink it from the ground up for the age of AI.
Let's build something together
Whether you're interested in Glia, Forge, or just want to talk automation — we'd love to hear from you.
