Our mission
We help customers reach their dream of autonomous plant operations to maximize the return on their human and non-human assets using our #bot technology
SharpBot
SharpBot® is a complete advanced automation suite, built using modern technologies and standard products from Microsoft and Google with the aim to create a product that puts ease-of-use as the primary design criterion while keeping all the complex math hidden from user.
Our interface is designed to be familiar so that any automation-savvy person can create an advanced automation solution and connect it to the plant control system without the need of a specialist for menial tasks, thus saving in operational costs.
The execution of the app has been refined to avoid most of the pitfalls faced by current applications; focusing on continuous operation, minimal setup parameters, and native connectivity with OPC UA/DA and MQTT for use with industrial internet of things (IIOT).

Our founder
Dr. Milind Karkare
with more than 25 years of experience in the industrial automation, simulation and process control field realized that many tools exist to help customers achieve autonomous operations but they rarely work together effectively – and in most cases, you need a specialized academic degree to use these tools.
He put his experience in software development and process modeling into a single “#bot” platform that capitalizes on the latest innovations in software, mathematics, AI and optimization technologies.
His dream is to make this platform available with a unique and affordable business model so that small and medium size companies and their suppliers and automation integrators can tackle the challenge of autonomous operations themselves. He is seeking to make it easier for companies worldwide to convert their knowledge and data into practical bots without getting tangled into the latest buzzwords.
