From control system design to predictive maintenance, we deliver bespoke engineering for UK manufacturers.
Bespoke automation services designed around your production reality — from single machine upgrades to full digital factory transformations.
Custom PLC programming, HMI development, and SCADA integration tailored to your production workflows.
Seamless integration of collaborative and industrial robots into your production line with full support and training.
Industrial IoT sensors and analytics that monitor equipment health, predict failures, and reduce unplanned downtime.
End-to-end connected factory solutions that improve visibility, traceability, and operational efficiency.
Proactive maintenance contracts and 24/7 emergency support to keep your systems running at peak performance.
Strategic guidance on automation roadmaps, technology selection, and team upskilling.
We're not a software house that dabbles in engineering. We're manufacturing engineers who build technology that works on the shop floor.
We design solutions for your specific challenges, not generic off-the-shelf systems. Your production reality drives our design.
Our team has real production experience — we understand your bottlenecks, constraints, and ROI requirements.
From design through deployment to ongoing support, we take ownership of every project. One point of contact, full responsibility.
ISO 9001, ATEX, CE compliant. Safety and regulatory standards are built into every system we deliver.
97% of our projects complete on schedule. Project discipline and clear timelines are non-negotiable.
We don't disappear after installation. Maintenance contracts, 24/7 support, and continuous optimisation are standard.
Every engagement follows a structured, transparent process designed to deliver predictable outcomes and minimal production disruption.
We visit your facility, understand your current systems, production workflows, pain points, and business goals. No assumptions.
Our engineers create a detailed technical specification — hardware, software, integration, timelines, and costs. Full transparency.
We build and test critical components in a controlled environment before deployment. Risk mitigation by design.
Phased installation with minimal production disruption. Real-time monitoring, testing, and validation at every stage.
Comprehensive training for your team. Full documentation, troubleshooting guides, and ongoing technical access.
Maintenance contracts, performance monitoring, and proactive optimisation keep your systems performing at peak efficiency.
Straight answers to the questions we hear most often. Don't see yours? Get in touch.
It depends on complexity, but most control system upgrades take 4–8 weeks from design to deployment. Robotic integration projects typically run 8–16 weeks. We'll give you a detailed timeline during the design phase.
Yes. We routinely integrate new automation with legacy PLCs, older machinery, and third-party systems. Our engineers assess compatibility early and design solutions that minimise disruption.
We plan deployments around your production schedule. Phased roll-outs, night/weekend work, and parallel system testing ensure minimal downtime. We'll discuss constraints during the assessment phase.
Yes. We include comprehensive training for operators, maintenance staff, and engineers. We also provide documentation, video guides, and ongoing technical support.
We offer flexible maintenance contracts — from basic response support to proactive monitoring and predictive maintenance. Most clients opt for 24/7 emergency support with scheduled maintenance visits.
Yes. All our systems are designed to meet ISO 13849 (safety), ATEX (hazardous areas), CE marking, and relevant machinery directives. Certification is built in.
It varies by project, but our clients typically see payback within 18–36 months through reduced downtime, faster cycle times, lower labour costs, and improved quality. We provide detailed ROI analysis during design.
We're brand-agnostic. We select the right robot — ABB, Yaskawa, KUKA, Universal Robots, etc. — based on your application and budget. Our engineers are certified integrators for all major manufacturers.
Real outcomes from UK manufacturers who've transformed their operations with Krostilar.
We asked Krostilar to automate a legacy packaging line that was running at 60% efficiency. Within 4 months, they'd integrated new vision systems, upgraded the PLC logic, and deployed robotic palletising. We're now at 89% efficiency and plan to expand the system next year.
The IoT predictive maintenance system has transformed our maintenance strategy. Instead of reactive firefighting, we now replace components before they fail. Annual maintenance costs down 31%, and our operators spend more time on value-add work.
Complex project with multiple legacy systems to integrate. Krostilar's engineers showed real depth — they didn't just code; they understood manufacturing. The system is rock-solid and their support team is exceptionally responsive.
Krostilar Engineering Ltd was founded by engineers who spent years on the shop floor. We combine deep manufacturing knowledge with modern automation technology to deliver systems that actually work — in the real world, not just in demos.
Our team of specialists covers PLC programming, robotics, industrial networking, IoT, and mechanical systems. We don't sub-contract core engineering work. What you see is what you get.
Tell us about your production challenges. We'll come to your facility, assess the opportunity, and propose a solution with clear costs and timelines. No obligation.
