About Kirby Automation

Kirby Automation Limited was formed to provide consultancy services in the domain of automation & control systems for the Automotive, Energy, Marine and Rail sectors. With 25 years of experience in the design and development of real time embedded systems, the goal is to share this knowledge and experience with SMEs and large companies who require growth in their understanding and capabilities in this area.

In the Energy sector, the company can offer design and development services relating to electrical power system controls. In particular, there is a depth of knowledge in the domain of AC protection schemes for both Medium (up to 110kV) & High (>110kV) Voltage applications. Power system stability, using predictive techniques and synchrophasor measurement solutions are a special area of experience.

In the marine field I have worked on the design and development of ship logs and GPS interfacing using NMEA protocols.

The future of Engineering is also important to the company. This is shown in the support Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths (STEM) activities in the Staffordshire region where Brian is a STEM Ambassador. He is also an active volunteer with the IET and the IEEE in promoting the vision of Engineering as a career for today’s students.
