About ASKworX Smart Automation LLP
Ground to Cloud Automation.
ASKworX Smart Automation is an industrial automation and digitalisation engineering company headquartered in Bengaluru, India. We design, build, program, commission and support automation systems for manufacturing plants across process and discrete industries.

What we do
From the terminal block to the dashboard
One discipline runs into the next. That is deliberate — it is also the reason our projects do not stall at a handover.
ASKworX
Ground to Cloud
Built on experience. Delivered with innovation.
We begin where the process actually happens. Sensors and instrumentation measure it, panels distribute the power, and PLCs hold the logic that keeps a line deterministic and safe. That layer is unforgiving: it either runs on every shift or it does not, and no amount of software above it can hide a weak foundation.
Above it sits supervision — SCADA and HMI screens designed around the decisions an operator makes at 3 a.m., not around a vendor’s template. Then the industrial network and gateways move the signals off the floor without exposing the control system to the internet, and the cloud layer turns them into trends, alarms, and reports.
At the top we build the software that people actually open: operations dashboards, custom ERP and CRM systems, mobile apps for field teams, and messaging automation that puts an alarm in the right engineer’s hand within seconds. Because the same team owns every layer, the data model agreed at the panel is the one the dashboard reads.
Who we are
The company was founded by A. Shravan Kumar, whose initials give ASKworX its name and its operating principle.
is what the client brings to us.
is the engineering we put behind it.
Whatever a company asks, we engineer those works and deliver the best solution in automation and digitalisation.
That is not a tagline. It is our scope of work.
Our philosophy
Most plants do not have an automation problem. They have a fragmentation problem.
Each one owns a box, nobody owns the outcome, and the plant manager is left integrating it himself.
ASKworX was founded to close that gap. We take single-point engineering responsibility for the entire chain — from the sensor in the field to the report on the management screen. We call it Ground to Cloud Automation.
The framework
The Ground to Cloud Framework
Four layers, engineered as one chain. Scroll down through them the way the data travels up.
GroundField & Power Layer
Everything the process is actually measured and driven by, and the power that feeds it.
- Instrumentation
- Field wiring
- Panel design and manufacturing
- Power distribution
- Surge and safety protection
- Drives and motion hardware
ControlMachine Intelligence Layer
The logic that makes a machine deterministic, safe and repeatable on every shift.
- PLC architecture and programming
- HMI development
- Servo and motion control
- Safety logic
- Robot integration and cell design
SupervisoryVisibility Layer
Where the plant becomes legible — what is running, what stopped, and what it produced.
- SCADA design
- Alarm and event management
- Historian configuration
- Recipe and batch control
- OEE and downtime capture
CloudDecision Layer
Where operational data leaves the floor and starts changing decisions.
- IIoT gateways
- Wireless and remote connectivity
- Edge data acquisition
- Energy and production dashboards
- MES-ready data structures
- Predictive and condition monitoring
One partner. One design intent. One accountable team across all four layers.
Whether the requirement is a single control panel, a full greenfield line, a legacy retrofit, or a plant-wide digitalisation roadmap, the engineering discipline is the same.
Scale-appropriate solutions
A small value retrofit gets the same engineering rigour as a multi-crore line. The scope changes. The standards do not.
Philosophy
We understand the plant, not just the specification
A specification tells you what the machine should do. It does not tell you what the shift actually looks like, and that is the part that decides whether a system survives.
Right architecture before execution
We settle the control logic, network topology and data model before anyone writes code, because a build without a documented target is a build that keeps moving.
Practical, shop-floor-friendly solutions
Systems are designed for the realities of 24/7 operation — maintained by your team, at night, under pressure, with the spares you actually stock.
Clean engineering and structured documentation
We design for reliability, maintainability and growth. Commented logic, as-built drawings and a real handover are written as the work happens, not afterwards.
“We don't over-engineer. We engineer what works.”
Method
How a deployment runs
Four stages, no surprises. Your line keeps running the whole way through.
Discovery & audit
We walk the floor, map your existing OT and IT infrastructure, and identify the specific constraints holding back throughput or visibility.
Logic architecture
We design the control logic, network topology, and data model before writing code, so the build has a documented target rather than a moving one.
Agile deployment
We integrate around live production in staged cutovers, so the line keeps running while the new system comes up beside it.
Support & scale
We hand over documented systems your team can own, then extend them — more lines, more sites, more software — as the results justify it.
Commitment
Engineering for reliability and growth
ASKworX bridges traditional automation with modern digital thinking. Five commitments hold across every engagement, whatever layer of the stack it starts at.
Consulting-first approach
We understand before we build.
Clean, scalable architecture
Systems designed for long-term reliability.
Practical execution
Solutions aligned with real plant realities.
Focus on documentation
Clear, structured records for easy maintenance.
Future-ready design
Data-ready infrastructure for your digital future.
Principles
What we hold to
Four commitments that decide how a job is scoped, built, and handed over.
Reliability before novelty
A control system is judged on the shift it does not stop. We choose the platform that will still be supportable in ten years over the one that demos best, and we prove behaviour under fault conditions before anyone celebrates a feature.
Documentation is the deliverable
Commented logic, as-built drawings, terminal schedules, address plans, and a maintenance handover are not paperwork at the end — they are written as the work happens. If your team cannot own the system after we leave, we have not finished.
Retrofit before replacement
Most plants are held back by their control layer, not their machines. Replacing the controls is usually a fraction of the cost of replacing the equipment, and it releases production data the original build never exposed. We propose the rip-out only when the retrofit genuinely cannot carry the load.
One team, floor to cloud
The same engineers who wire the panel design the dashboard above it. That removes the seam where most industrial projects fail — the handover between the automation vendor and the software vendor — and it means the data model is agreed once, not renegotiated per layer.
Our commitment
Manufacturing in India is moving from automation to intelligence. Machines that only run are being replaced by machines that report, predict and improve. ASKworX exists to carry our customers across that transition — practically, affordably and without disruption to output.
