Control Seat Is Becoming
an AI-Native Integrator

Today, we're expanding Control Seat to become an AI-native industrial integrator. Instead of just selling our software, we bring it into our clients' existing stack for them, and set up any other tools they need to run it.

We started Control Seat to build modern software for industrial operations. Since joining Y Combinator, we've spent hundreds of hours talking with controls engineers, manufacturers, operators, and system integrators. We already knew industrial software was broken. What we didn't fully appreciate is how cautious people are about adopting something new, and for good reason. These systems run critical infrastructure, where reliability matters far more than novelty. Change is slow, and it should be.

So instead of waiting for the industry to adopt an entirely new software stack, we're bringing our technology directly into customer projects today. We do the integration ourselves: we design, build, deploy, and run the control and monitoring systems, on our own modern platform.

Why an integrator, and why now

Integration today is expensive and slow. Larger firms can spend millions on it. Smaller firms can't, so they make do with whatever they already have. The traditional approach is also highly manual, built on software that is itself dated, which is exactly what makes it so slow and costly.

That's the part AI changes. By applying AI across the whole job, from PLC logic to SCADA to the data layer, we can stand up the same systems around 10x faster, and charge far less for it. Same result, a fraction of the time and cost.

It's also the fastest way to prove the platform. Every project we take on runs on Control Seat, on live operations, which makes the software better with each deployment.

What we take on

The full controls stack: PLC programming, SCADA and HMI, control panels, networking, historians, and the data and analytics layer on top. You can see the full list of services we deliver.

Let's talk

If you're exploring controls or automation systems, PLC programming, SCADA, or system integration, we'd love to talk. And if you know a deep tech company that needs to set up a controls system, point them our way.

Get in touch or see what we do. We're just getting started.
