# Industrial Automation System Integrator

*/CompanyTypes/Industrial_Automation_System_Integrator*

## Digital Scalar

**Band**: hybrid
**Digital**: 0.5
**Rationale**: With no child JobTypes seeded, the score is derived entirely from the company type name and lens. An 'Industrial Automation System Integrator' represents fundamentally hybrid work: it blends highly digital engineering tasks like PLC programming, SCADA configuration, and CAD design with essential physical execution, such as panel wiring, robotics installation, and factory-floor commissioning. Without granular data to skew it, the focus lands perfectly at the hybrid band-center.
