Get to Know Our Team: Ryan Stapleton, Mechatronic Engineer

At Ti2 Group, we pride ourselves on delivering robust, open-standards automation solutions. Behind those solutions is a team of passionate engineers dedicated to solving complex industry challenges. This month, we introduce to you, Ryan Stapleton, one of our Sydney-based Mechatronic Engineers.

From Steel and Buildings to Process Automation
Ryan’s pathway into the industry was steered by his degree in Mechatronic and Mechanical Engineering. He built a diverse foundation with a year of experience in steel manufacturing and two years in the building automation sector before making the move to Ti2 Group. Attracted by the complexities of industrial and process automation applications, he now focuses on control system engineering, including PLC control with motion and pneumatic applications, as well as cutting-edge robot and cobot installations.

The Ti2 Difference: Agility and Open Standards
When asked what sets Ti2 Group apart for both our team and our clients, Ryan points to a shared philosophy of problem-solving. "We have an open standards focus, with a genuine desire for problem-solving the right way," he says.

For clients, that translates to an exceptional level of agility. Every industrial application comes with its own unique constraints, and he values Ti2’s capacity to adapt quickly to those distinct needs while working alongside a highly supportive team.

Driven by Continuous Learning
Automation is a fast-moving field, which is exactly what keeps him engaged. His favourite part of the job is investigating new hardware and software to ensure our clients are always getting the best tools for the job. And the most rewarding part of a project? "Error-free code!"

Ultimately, Ryan sees his work as part of a bigger picture for local industry: "Automation keeps Australian businesses globally competitive."

Please join us in celebrating Ryan’s fantastic contribution to the Ti2 Group team and our clients!

Say hello to the newest member of the Ti2 team: Todd the Ti2 Cobot 🤖

Our first KUKA collaborative robot has officially landed and is currently being commissioned for deployment at a new customer site.

Todd isn’t just for show. He represents a practical step forward in how we deliver flexible, safe, and scalable automation designed to work alongside operators, not replace them.

That said… a “CAUTION: COBOT ONBOARD” sticker for the ute is now under serious consideration.

Join us in : The future of industrial robotics and automation is landing at the IICA WA Technology Expo 2026.

Ti2 will be showcasing a range of advanced, open automation solutions designed to give your business a competitive edge from modular control platforms to smart sensing and integrated systems. If you’re looking to modernise, integrate, or scale your operations, this is where to start.

Lest We Forget.

As ANZAC Day approaches, the team at Ti2 pauses to reflect.
We acknowledge the service and sacrifice of the ANZACs, and all those who have served Australia and New Zealand.

Their legacy is defined by resilience, discipline, courage, endurance and mateship — values that continue to underpin our communities and industries today.
With profound respect, we acknowledge the sacrifices of both our past and present service members.

Lest we forget.

Standardise on Technologies, Not Product Brands

Most industrial systems are still commonly built around vendor ecosystems. That approach introduces constraints, limits interoperability, and increases long term cost.

At Ti2, the focus is different. We standardise on technologies, not brands.

By leveraging open standards such as CODESYS, OPC UA, and IEC 61131-3, architectures remain interoperable, portable, and maintainable across their lifecycle, independent of the underlying hardware.

What this enables in practice:
• Hardware independence, selecting the right device for the application without vendor restriction
• Long term maintainability, without dependency on a single supplier roadmap
• Scalable architectures that support expansion, integration, and upgrade paths
• Reduced licensing and lifecycle costs associated with proprietary environments

This approach applies equally across R&D, plant systems or mobile applications where performance and reliability are critical.

The objective is straightforward: systems that remain adaptable, supportable and under your control.

Following the Easter holiday, operations have resumed at full capacity, with site maintenance and optimisation initiatives proceeding as planned for the remainder of the second quarter.

At Ti2 Group, April is focused on supporting operational performance through open, scalable automation and robust network infrastructure.

Whether you are optimising production, upgrading control systems, or troubleshooting complex industrial networks, our team provides the hardware and engineering expertise to support your next step.

What is happening at Ti2 this month:
▪️ Expanded Automation Capability
As an appointed distributor for Festo, we continue to expand our range of pneumatic and electrical automation solutions, integrated with CODESYS-based control and open communication architectures.

▪️ System Health and Diagnostics
Unplanned downtime often starts at the network layer. We support PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and EtherNet/IP diagnostics, helping identify faults early and maintain stable, high-performance systems.

▪️ Industry Engagement
We are preparing for the upcoming IICA Technology Expos, where we will showcase live, working demonstrations across open automation, motion control, and industrial communication.

From PLC programming and motion control to secure remote access and edge connectivity, Ti2 delivers practical solutions built on open standards.

Ti2 Showcases Future-Ready Automation at IICA Newcastle

Last week, Ti2 joined industry leaders at the IICA Newcastle Technology Expo at the Newcastle Showground. As a long-standing partner of the IICA, we were proud to contribute to the "hands-on" spirit of the 2026 expo by hosting live, working demonstrations of real-world automation running in real time.

Our experts spent the day engaging with engineers and decision-makers, offering live insights into how modular architecture and secure connectivity can transform modern industrial systems. We highlighted our commitment to brand-agnostic solutions, focusing on how businesses can increase reliability without being locked into a single supplier.

Visitors had the chance to interact with our latest kit and see how we integrate world-class partner products into seamless, high-performance systems:
▪️FESTO Voice-Controlled Automation: We demonstrated intuitive human-machine interaction using a top-down architecture. This featured FESTO PLCs managing high-performance motion over EtherCAT, integrated with LLM-powered speech translation and live visualisation via the CODESYS Automation Server.
▪️CODESYS EtherCAT Servo Control: Showcasing a vendor-independent environment, we utilised a Berghof Panel Pi as a central OPC UA hub. This setup proved the power of interoperability, coordinating distributed control across Berghof Pi-PLC, WAGO, and Wecon components for precision twin-servo control.

Whether it is improving predictive maintenance through mobile field device configuration or scaling up with CODESYS-based controllers, Ti2 remains dedicated to delivering performance-driven engineering solutions that move beyond theory and into practical application.
