Independent system integration built on open standards — so your automation platform works for you, not for a vendor.
Traditional automation platforms tie industrial operations to a single vendor's hardware, software, and support contracts. Upgrades happen on the vendor's schedule. Pricing is set without competition. And migrating away becomes a project in itself. Toggle Engineering designs and implements automation systems built on open standards and open source platforms — giving you full control over your technology stack, your suppliers, and your long-term operating costs.
Pillar 01
We design automation architectures from the ground up around open standards — separating hardware from software, enabling multi-vendor component selection, and ensuring every layer of the system can be independently upgraded, replaced, or extended without a full platform migration.
Architecture
Every architecture engagement starts with a vendor-neutral evaluation — mapping your process requirements to the open platforms that best serve them, not the platforms a supplier wants to sell you.
Why it matters
"Organisations that have moved to open, standards-based automation report up to 50% lower initial system costs — driven by competitive sourcing and the freedom to select the best component at every layer."
Why it matters
"Open standards don't mean open risk — they mean you choose the best component for every layer, without being forced by a vendor contract."
Integration
We design and implement automation systems using OPC-UA, MTP, and open process automation architecture that interoperates across any vendor's hardware — on greenfield sites and existing plants alike.
Migration
Moving away from a proprietary platform is a project in itself. We plan and execute migrations in phases — auditing dependencies, running systems in parallel, and validating every step so production stays online throughout.
Why it matters
"A phased migration means you leave the proprietary platform at your pace — not at the point where a forced upgrade or end-of-life notice makes the decision for you."
50%
Lower initial control system cost with open architecture
70%
Reduction in total cost of ownership vs. proprietary systems
100%
Vendor-neutral — no proprietary lock-in on any engagement
E2E
From architecture design through commissioning and ongoing support
Pillar 02
We implement and integrate proven open source automation platforms across the control, visualisation, and data layers — giving you industrial-grade capability without proprietary licence costs or closed ecosystems.
Layer 01
IEC 61131-3 compliant soft PLC deployment on standard hardware — eliminating proprietary controller costs while maintaining full industrial control standards.
Layer 02
Open SCADA and HMI platforms that run on commodity hardware and standard browsers — no per-seat licences, no locked runtime environments.
Layer 03
Open data pipelines from sensor to cloud — MTP, OPC-UA, and open time-series historians that keep your operational data free from proprietary storage formats.
Pillar 03
An open system only delivers long-term value if it stays truly independent. We structure every engagement so that your team owns the system — with the documentation, training, and vendor-neutral support model to keep it that way.
