been the person at 2am.

controlHub isn't a startup's guess at what the plant floor needs. It's the tool a working controls engineer wished he had — for 25 years.

Why I built controlHub

I've spent my career in industrial controls — starting at Rockwell Automation and working in automation ever since, the last 15 years running my own shop. Twenty-five years of walking into plants, opening up programs, and making machines run.

And I kept hitting the same wall. The person who wrote the logic had moved on. The drawings were in a binder, maybe current. The program lived on whichever laptop happened to be on site. Every unfamiliar machine meant hours reverse-engineering ladder logic before I could even start fixing the actual problem — usually with the line down and everyone watching.

The knowledge that makes a plant run doesn't live in the code. It lives in people's heads — and it walks out the door when they retire. I got tired of re-learning machines that someone, somewhere, already understood.

So I built the colleague I always wanted:something that reads the code, the drawings, and every fix you've ever logged, and answers in plain language — for any brand, on any machine you support. The archive is the product. The AI just makes it talk back.
