What we do
From difficult controls problems
to dependable production.
Hands-on engineering for industrial teams that need sound decisions, strong execution, and systems their people can own.
Robotics & Automation
Practical robotic and collaborative-robot applications—from concept and end-of-arm tooling through safety integration, line controls, and production handoff.
Modernization
Thoughtful migration of aging controls and motion platforms, preserving what still works while reducing risk, downtime, and long-term support burden.
Startup & Commissioning
Structured field execution, troubleshooting, tuning, operator training, and closeout documentation that turns an engineered system into a reliable production asset.
Core capabilities
One engineering partner across the control system.
Cross-disciplinary experience keeps the interfaces between controls, robots, motion, safety, and the production process from becoming gaps.

How we work
Engineering with ownership.
The goal is not simply to deliver code or drawings. It is to understand the operation, make the hard decisions visible, and carry the solution through to a successful result.
01
Understand the operation
Start with the process, the people, and the real production constraint—not a preferred piece of hardware.
02
Engineer the right-sized solution
Define the architecture, risks, interfaces, and execution plan with clear decisions and practical tradeoffs.
03
Build, prove, and support
Test early, commission methodically, document the system, and stay engaged until it performs on the floor.
Sikora Systems
Senior-level attention.
Plant-floor perspective.
Based in Northwest Indiana, Sikora Systems brings deep industrial controls experience and a direct, accountable way of working to manufacturers, integrators, and engineering teams. Every engagement is grounded in the realities of production: safety, uptime, maintainability, schedule, and the people who will live with the system after startup.
