Industrial automation integrator for parcel and logistics handling systems
Diversified Automation designs and deploys material-handling automation for high-throughput parcel sorting and logistics operations. The tech stack is deeply rooted in industrial controls—SCADA, PLC platforms (Rockwell, Siemens, Beckhoff), and HMI layers (Ignition, Wonderware, FactoryTalk)—reflecting a systems-integration business model rather than software-first. The hiring mix skews heavily toward senior and mid-level engineering (14 engineers across 20 open roles, with 9 senior positions), while project work centers on conveyor upgrade, sortation software, and control system commissioning—consistent with long-cycle, bespoke implementations in parcel logistics.
Diversified Automation is a privately held industrial systems integrator based in Louisville, Kentucky, founded in 2002. The company specializes in end-to-end automation solutions for the express parcel and freight handling industry, including design, fabrication, installation, and commissioning of material-handling systems. The founder and owner brought 13 years of engineering experience from a major parcel carrier, and the company works with Fortune 500 logistics operators. Diversified Automation operates as a full-service provider: it designs electrical controls hardware, manages subcontractor networks for fabrication and installation, and commissions complex automated systems on customer sites. The team combines project engineering, controls expertise, and software development in sortation and conveyor systems.
