About Control Seat
Control Seat was born on the factory floor. Our founders built and operated factory software and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems at Tesla and SpaceX, and saw firsthand how fragmented and outdated industrial software really is. The physical world generates more data than ever, but the tools haven't kept up.
Today, we're an AI-native systems integrator. We design, build, deploy, and run industrial control and monitoring systems, from PLCs and SCADA to networking, historians, and analytics, on our own modern platform. Because that platform is built around AI and modern software, our projects come together faster and run leaner than the legacy way of doing integration, and the systems we hand over keep getting better over time.
This is just the beginning. Our long-term mission is to become the operating system for the physical world. The platform that enables AI to monitor and control the physical systems around us, so people can focus on what makes us human.
