Built on Real Experience.
Focused on What Works.
Solafide is a Philippines-based specialist in PLC and HMI-based marine control systems — a small team doing precise, hands-on work grounded in years of direct experience across bulk carriers, tankers, dredger, and tugboats.
A Focused Team.
A Direct Partner.
Solafide Industrial Automation and Control Systems works with ship owners, ship management companies, and technical superintendents who need a reliable, technically capable partner — one who understands both the engineering and the operational realities of keeping a vessel running.
We are a small team, but our work is hands-on, precise, and grounded in years of direct experience. When you work with Solafide, you deal directly with the people doing the engineering.
Where We
Come From
Solafide was founded by practitioners — people who have spent years working on real vessels, troubleshooting real problems, and building systems that have to perform in conditions that test everything they're made of.
The Philippines sits at the center of one of the world's most active maritime corridors and is home to one of the most experienced maritime workforces on the planet. That environment shaped how we work.
We started the company because we saw a gap: vessel operators — particularly small to mid-size shipping companies — often couldn't access the specialized control systems expertise they needed without going to large international suppliers with long lead times and pricing to match.
We built Solafide to fill that gap: a focused, technically rigorous team capable of doing the work that matters, at a scale that makes sense for our clients.
Allen-Bradley / Rockwell Automation PLC and HMI systems — programming, commissioning, troubleshooting, and upgrades
Custom PLC system design and build for vessels with non-standard or legacy requirements
Propulsion control and engine room monitoring systems
Pump automation, protection systems, and valve control
Cargo and ballast control panels
Legacy system rehabilitation — including systems with limited documentation or discontinued manufacturer support
Control panel fabrication and integration
What We're
Good At
Our capabilities are specialized and deep — not broad and shallow. Everything we do centers on PLC and HMI-based marine control systems.
How We
Work
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all. Every vessel is configured differently, every operator has different priorities, and every project has its own constraints.
Understand First
We start by understanding your specific situation — budget, drydock window, crew capability, class requirements — before recommending anything.
Stay Involved End-to-End
From initial assessment through engineering, build, installation, commissioning, and post-handover support, we stay involved. We don't hand off to a subcontractor and disappear.
Build Long-Term Relationships
Our clients come back to us because the relationship doesn't end at commissioning. We're a partner, not a one-time vendor.
Based in the Philippines.
Working Across the Region.
Our team is based in Laguna, Philippines, and we regularly support vessels operating in Philippine waters, Southeast Asian ports, and beyond.
We're positioned to respond quickly to vessels in the region — and our location gives us direct access to one of the world's most experienced pools of maritime and engineering talent.
