About Us | We do Industrial Automation
Chipkin is a building and industrial automation protocol expert specializing in machine-to-machine communications and system integration. We design, develop, configure, and support protocol gateways, data loggers, and diagnostic tools for BACnet, Modbus, LonWorks, and related automation protocols.
Founded in October 2000, Chipkin helps integrators, OEMs, and facility operators connect legacy and modern control systems reliably. Our value is not hardware alone — we deliver complete solutions through deep protocol expertise, configuration services, free diagnostic tools, and responsive technical support via phone, email, and remote access.
We work with system integrators, OEMs, consultants, and facility owners across commercial, industrial, and infrastructure automation projects.
Who We Are
Chipkin is supported by a strong team of engineers, developers, support specialists, and administrative staff committed to delivering reliable solutions and a high standard of customer service.
Our Solutions Are Enabling
Our solutions go beyond solving individual operational requirements. They enable integration with enterprise systems such as maintenance platforms, inventory systems, and corporate databases, helping operators diagnose faults faster and operate facilities more safely and efficiently through proven human–machine interface design.
- Integration of PLC, DCS, and microprocessor-based control systems
- SCADA and HMI design across multiple operating systems
- Machine automation, telemetry, batch, and continuous processes
- Industries including marine, mining, manufacturing, and food & beverage
We provide these skills as part of project teams, as a complete solution vendor, or as consultants supporting design, audit, and advisory roles.
Chipkin has solved complex systems integration, data acquisition, and communications problems using in-house driver and protocol development, electronics and telemetry design, and extensive field experience.
Our experience includes process design, PFDs and P&IDs, control system topologies, control cabinets, operator consoles, staging and testing, simulation, system interfaces, HMI development, installation, commissioning, and operator training.
Services and Support
Customer satisfaction means a great deal to us, we strive to provide the best possible service to our customers.
Providing solutions by integrating our clients' needs in terms of safety, daily operations and management disciplines with appropriate control technologies and Human Machine Interfaces. Automation provides reliability, safety, repeatability, and standardization as well as providing a solution route where tasks are too complex or dangerous for humans to manage.
