NEW - 2026 State of Industrial Alarming

We keep the world’s critical operations running – because when systems fail, every second counts.

SeQent is an industrial automation software company. We build the platforms that keep Fortune 500 operations running, and we have done it for decades.
Who we are

Built for the plant floor. Proven around the world.

SeQent’s roots run through manufacturing. We sit at the centre of one of North America’s densest industrial corridors, within reach of the auto, steel, food, and pharmaceutical sites that anchor the Great Lakes economy.

That proximity has shaped how we build. Every release is informed by what controls engineers, plant managers, and EHS leaders actually need on the floor, not what looks good in a slide deck. We are an early pioneer of the Industrial Internet of Things.

With the acquisition of Open Automation Software, our software now covers the full path a signal travels. We connect Allen-Bradley and Siemens controllers, Modbus devices, OPC servers, SCADA, MES, and databases, and we deliver what matters to the people and devices that act on it: Motorola two-way radios, smartphones, Andon displays, PA systems, and pagers. One path in, one path out, with no handoff between vendors in the middle.

Today, our software runs at Fortune Global 500 manufacturers across automotive, semiconductor, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, energy, data centers, and consumer goods.
