Automation has the ability to radically transform the way businesses operate, making it a top priority for many business leaders. However, companies in the heavy industry sector, such as those in the energy, mining, utilities, and manufacturing sectors, sometimes struggle to set ambitious goals, create strong business cases, and come up with efficient deployment strategies to benefit from automation. The development of these competencies could enable these businesses to reap benefits at a larger scale, enhance the customer and staff experience, and create a sustainable competitive edge.
India's automation industry has expanded dramatically over the past ten years as a result of the country's growing demand for efficient and dependable production methods. With the goal to establish itself as the largest global provider of 'Indian Automation' solutions, Microverse Automation entered the Indian market in 1989. Since then, it has provided highly specialized, problem focused, and custom automation solutions.
“A company is defined by the mission it is driven by. If you walk into any Microverse office, you will always see that every team player is driven by this mission of ‘Indian Automation’. Microverse is a niche-DCS, PLC and cloud IoT automation solutions provider. We are not a large-scale
manufacturer but work on very specific segments in process automation. Our speciality lies in the automation of critical processes", says Girish Mehendale, Founder & Managing Director.
“The expectations of the Indian process industry are very specific and stem from the operational issues the companies face. Typically, all existing automation solutions had been designed decades ago in Europe, America or Japan. They were then adapted to the Indian operating conditions. Microverse instead was born in India and specifically designed for this environment".
Tailor-Made Solutions For Each Problem
Microverse has never relied on imported technologies to produce automation solutions, thanks to the presence of enthusiastic engineers. Instead, they created the required resources in India becoming a single-point turn-key solution supplier for all of their customers by reducing the requirement for subcontracting. Not only does the company supply E&I solutions, but it also has a large network of process experts who provide consultation on enhancing operational efficiency, throughput, and safety, among other things.
“The clients are not looking for generic automation solution providers. They are looking for solutions that specifically address the problems which the companies face. For far too long, automation companies have tried to force-fit generic solutions onto the specific problems which each process plant faces. Since we do not need to import any technology and that translates to significant cost-effectiveness for the clients", explains Girish.

Microverse, which has been in the sector for 33 years, undertakes a detailed examination of current market needs frequently and concentrates on building solutions that will help them stay ahead of the curve. Over the last four years, they've honed their skills in cloud platforms and process analytics on web and mobile platforms.
These ensure that vital plant data is always available to the clients, allowing for better insight and faster decision-making as predictive analytics helps with preventive maintenance by reducing downtime and enhanced operational efficiency. Microverse believes that the Indian automation community is making great progress and is proud of their technology, becoming self-sufficient, and reducing our reliance on foreign corporations.
