Code ofConduct
Our Code of Conduct outlines the ethical principles and standards that guide our business practices, relationships, and commitment to excellence in industrial automation and control systems.
At Brixat Automation & Solutions, we are committed to conducting our business with the highest standards of integrity, ethics, and professionalism. As a leading provider of industrial automation solutions including PLC programming, SCADA systems, DCS integration, instrumentation, control panel design, and Industrial IoT solutions, we recognize our responsibility to our clients, partners, employees, and the communities we serve. This Code of Conduct serves as a guide for all employees, partners, and stakeholders in understanding our values and expectations.
Ethical Standards
We commit to maintaining the highest ethical standards in all our business dealings, ensuring transparency, honesty, and integrity in every interaction with clients, partners, and stakeholders. Our team members are expected to act with moral courage, making decisions that align with our core values even when facing difficult situations. We believe that ethical behavior is not just a requirement but a fundamental aspect of building lasting relationships and maintaining our reputation as a trusted automation solutions provider.
In our work with industrial automation systems, we recognize the critical nature of the systems we design and implement. Whether working with PLC systems, SCADA configurations, DCS integration, or control panels, we ensure that all decisions prioritize safety, reliability, and the best interests of our clients and end-users.
Compliance
We strictly adhere to all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards. Our operations comply with local, national, and international requirements relevant to industrial automation and control systems. This includes compliance with safety regulations such as IEC 61508, IEC 61511, ISA-84, and other relevant standards for functional safety in industrial automation.
Our compliance extends to environmental regulations, data protection laws including GDPR where applicable, export control regulations for automation equipment, and industry-specific standards for sectors such as oil & gas, energy, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, and manufacturing. We maintain rigorous documentation and audit trails for all our projects to ensure full compliance and traceability.
Confidentiality
We respect and protect the confidentiality of all client information, proprietary data, and sensitive business information. All team members are bound by strict confidentiality agreements. This includes protection of process designs, control strategies, proprietary algorithms, production data, and any other sensitive information shared with us during project execution.
When working with industrial control systems, we handle operational data, production metrics, and system configurations with the utmost care. Our data handling procedures ensure that client information is never disclosed to unauthorized parties, and we implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard all confidential information throughout the project lifecycle.
Quality & Safety
We are committed to delivering high-quality solutions that meet or exceed industry standards. Safety is paramount in all our projects, and we ensure all systems comply with safety regulations. Our quality management processes include rigorous testing, validation, and verification procedures for all automation systems we develop.
In industrial automation, safety is not negotiable. We implement safety instrumented systems (SIS), conduct hazard and operability studies (HAZOP), perform safety integrity level (SIL) assessments, and ensure all control systems include appropriate safety interlocks and emergency shutdown procedures. Our control panel designs follow industry best practices for electrical safety, and our SCADA and DCS systems include robust security measures to prevent unauthorized access and cyber threats.
We maintain comprehensive documentation for all projects, including functional specifications, design documents, test procedures, and commissioning reports. This ensures traceability, facilitates maintenance, and supports continuous improvement of our solutions.
Fair Business Practices
We engage in fair competition, respect intellectual property rights, and maintain honest relationships with clients, vendors, and partners. We do not engage in any form of bribery or corruption. Our pricing is transparent and competitive, and we provide accurate information about our capabilities, timelines, and deliverables.
We respect the intellectual property of others, including software licenses for automation platforms, proprietary control algorithms, and patented technologies. When using third-party components or software in our solutions, we ensure proper licensing and compliance. We also protect our own intellectual property while respecting the rights of our clients to their process improvements and customizations.
Our relationships with suppliers and vendors are based on fair terms, mutual respect, and ethical conduct. We select partners based on quality, reliability, and alignment with our values, not on improper incentives or favors.
Environmental Responsibility
We are committed to environmental sustainability and strive to minimize the environmental impact of our operations and solutions. We promote energy-efficient and eco-friendly automation solutions. Our Industrial IoT solutions enable clients to optimize energy consumption, reduce waste, and improve resource efficiency.
In our automation projects, we design systems that support sustainable operations. This includes energy management systems, waste reduction through process optimization, water conservation in process industries, and emissions monitoring and control. We help clients achieve their environmental goals through intelligent automation and data-driven decision-making.
We also consider the environmental impact of our own operations, including responsible disposal of electronic components, minimizing travel through remote support capabilities, and promoting paperless documentation through digital project management tools.
Professional Development
We invest in the continuous professional development of our team members to ensure they stay current with evolving technologies and industry best practices. Our engineers receive training on the latest PLC platforms, SCADA systems, DCS technologies, and Industrial IoT solutions. We encourage certification in relevant technologies and support participation in industry conferences and technical forums.
Knowledge sharing is a core value at Brixat. We maintain internal technical libraries, conduct regular training sessions, and encourage collaboration across projects. This ensures that best practices and lessons learned are shared throughout the organization, benefiting all our clients.
Our Commitment
At Brixat, we are committed to upholding these principles in every aspect of our business. We expect all employees, partners, and stakeholders to adhere to these standards. Any violations of this code will be addressed promptly and appropriately through our established disciplinary procedures.
We encourage anyone who becomes aware of a potential violation of this Code of Conduct to report it immediately. Reports can be made through our confidential reporting channels, and we are committed to investigating all reports thoroughly and taking appropriate action.
