Sharing knowledge
Who We Are
An open space created by technicians, for technicians. Shared knowledge on industrial automation since 2012.
Our Story
My name is Jose Manuel Luque and I live in Barcelona (Spain). I am a technician by profession and have always worked in industry.
The last few years dedicated to programming PLCs, HMIs and SCADAs… And above all… Learning.

I met Jose Manuel while we were working together in industry, and we connected immediately — not only professionally but also as friends. Although today we each pursue different paths, the friendship remains intact, as does our enthusiasm for continuing to build this project together. For me, being part of PLC-HMI-SCADAS is a way of giving back to the community everything this profession has given me.

Vision & AI
We are living through an unprecedented technological shift. AI is transforming the way we work and solve problems in industry.
At PLC-HMI-SCADAS, we want to bring automation technicians closer to these new tools — such as GitHub Copilot, code assistants, and AI models — to achieve higher quality solutions, in less time, and with better results.
PLC-HMI-SCADAS is not an academy or a company — it is an open space, created by technicians, for technicians. A shared knowledge project where every article, every correction, and every suggestion contributes.
