Industrial automation and beverage-line engineering services
Konplan is a 201–500-person engineering firm in Plzeň, Czechia, built around embedded systems and industrial automation. Their stack—.NET, C#, PLC languages (IEC 61131), Siemens TIA, Rockwell Automation, MQTT, OPC UA—reflects deep manufacturing domain expertise. Hiring is accelerating with 8 open engineering roles (6 in the last 30 days), weighted heavily toward senior and mid-level IC positions, suggesting they're scaling delivery capacity rather than leadership.
Since 2007, Konplan has delivered engineering services to industrial machinery and beverage-production customers. Their work spans PLC programming, electrical design, software architecture, and commissioning of control systems. The project mix—modularization of PLC/HMI programs, brewery management platforms, test-bench automation, and software libraries—shows a service-delivery model that blends custom engineering with product-like components. They operate from Plzeň and work with clients globally. Internal challenges center on production-line visibility, backend scaling, and agile adoption across teams.
Konplan builds on .NET/C#, PLC languages (IEC 61131), Siemens TIA, Rockwell Automation, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS. MQTT and OPC UA handle industrial messaging; Prometheus and Grafana cover observability.
Konplan builds beverage-line control systems, brewery management software, test-bench automation, and modularized PLC/HMI libraries. Recent focus includes scaling backend systems and automating reporting.
