Engineering, Programming, Commissioning – Your Automation Project in Experienced Hands

Over 10 years of international expertise in integrating automation technology into new and existing plants.

David Prybisch - Automation Expert

Specialized in Siemens PLC systems, I manage projects from the conceptual design phase through to final customer acceptance. My strength lies in the on-time and precise commissioning of complex production plants – worldwide and across various industries. With a solid foundation from electronics technician through Bachelor's to Master's degree in Automation Engineering and nine years of hands-on experience at Köhl Maschinenbau AG, I bring deep technical expertise and international project experience. Currently, I'm expanding my service portfolio with modern software development using Python and TypeScript. My vision: Combining classic PLC automation with edge device integration and AI-powered systems into intelligent, future-proof solutions.

What Excites Me About Automation Projects

I started as an electronics technician, then studied electrical engineering and automation, and spent nine years leading international projects at Köhl Maschinenbau. What always fascinated me: The moment when a system runs for the first time – and everything works. When mechanics, electrics, and software interact perfectly, and individual components become a functioning production line.

Today, I help companies achieve exactly this moment: Reliable, on schedule, and without unpleasant surprises. Whether PLC programming, safety concepts, or worldwide commissioning – I deliver solutions that perform in operation. I focus on structured programming, complete documentation, and transparent communication with all project stakeholders.

My vision? Combining classical automation with edge technology and AI – for smarter, more efficient production facilities. That's why I continuously expand my portfolio with modern software development using Python and TypeScript, container technologies, and AI-powered development tools.
