About Us

The PlantQuest team boasts decades of experience in designing, constructing, commissioning, and operating facilities in Life Science and other process-intensive industries.

Due to the very nature of large manufacturing facilities, thousands of man-hours are wasted, millions of dollars of production opportunity cost is lost, and countless hours of unnecessary downtime is experienced each year.

We created PlantQuest so that both green and brownfield facilities can experience the transformative potential that asset mapping & visualisation solutions can have in helping to rectify these very problems.

Our founders, Ger Carton and Tom Daly have come together with over 40 years of industry experience. Together, they've established a team of professionals, an expanding customer base, and a growing list of high-caliber partners all dedicated to developing tools to help you and your team to work smarter and your facility to produce more product.
