About us

A trusted partner in electrical & control system engineering

TAK Engineering is a proudly Australian-owned engineering company with a proven track record of delivering successful projects across diverse industrial applications.

Established 2016

Founded on deep control-system expertise

TAK Engineering was established in 2016 by its founder, an electrical & control system engineer with extensive expertise in developing automated PLC-based control system logic for Toshiba's SCiB Lithium-Ion battery storage system.

This innovative logic enables rapid scalability of energy storage capacity — from 1.242 kWh to 1.530 MWh — by simply configuring PLC logic parameters to accommodate the number of Toshiba SCiB battery modules and Battery Management Units (BMUs).

Our story

From a pioneering SCiB demo to global delivery

According to Uthaya Siva, founder of TAK Engineering, a milestone in Australian SCiB energy storage was marked in 2012. The first-ever Australian Toshiba SCiB lithium-ion battery storage system was designed and built at the Toshiba International Corporation workshop in Parramatta — a two-string configuration of five SCiB modules connected to a Selectronic inverter, showcased for a Queensland utility's SWER (Single Wire Earth Return) line trials.

The founder's expertise later shifted to Port and Logistics, playing a crucial role in implementing the world's largest fully automated container facility at Patrick Terminal, Port Botany, in 2014.

The SCiB demo panel sparked significant interest from local and international stakeholders, catching the attention of Toshiba International Corporation's senior management. In 2016, they approached the founder to collaborate on their SCiB projects — and TAK Engineering was born.

Following six months of intense development, TAK Engineering successfully delivered a WAGO PFC200-based SCiB high-level PLC control system with the following capabilities:

Seamless integration with up to 22 Toshiba Gen 1 and Gen 2 Battery Management Units (BMUs) — no gateways or middle hardware required.

Rapid system scalability from 1.24 kWh to 1.5 MWh through PLC parameter configuration in under five minutes.

Autonomous battery string selection based on system operating mode (charge or discharge).

Autonomous faulty string isolation for enhanced reliability.

Additional layer of cell and module protection, eliminating the need for BMU reprogramming.

Proven track record of reliable operation across solar and wind farms, locally and internationally.
