Industrial automation

PLC/HMI, data collection, equipment networking, system integration, and retrofit — commissioned in stages against the line and equipment. Scope, brands, and schedule are set in the contract.

What we take on

Open each item for detail.

PLC programming and commissioning

Control logic, on-site commissioning, and fault finding.

Write or change PLC programs from the process and I/O list, then verify points and interlocks on site. Brands follow equipment already on site — commonly Siemens, Mitsubishi, and Omron.

Typical work

  • Logic write/change with version kept
  • I/O, interlock, and sequence checks against the list
  • On-site commissioning and common fault finding
  • Program backup and change notes

Typical deliverables

  • Runnable program and backup
  • I/O / interlock check record
  • Key change notes (as agreed)

What we need from you

  • Process notes or control requirements
  • Electrical drawings / I/O list if you have them
  • A shutdown or commissioning window
HMI screens

Operate, monitor, and alarm screens fitted to how the plant works.

Screens and tag binding follow operator habit: monitor, setpoints, alarms, and access where needed. Screen scope is listed in the requirements stage so revisions stay bounded.

Typical work

  • Monitor / operate / alarm screens
  • PLC tag binding and commissioning
  • Access control and confirmations for critical actions (as agreed)
  • Handover of operating notes

Typical deliverables

  • Project files and screen list
  • Tag mapping (as agreed)
  • Operating notes

What we need from you

  • Screen and access list
  • Target panel model / resolution
  • Confirmed PLC communications
Data collection and display

Point collection, storage, and reports or boards as specified.

Collect and store agreed points at agreed intervals. Provide query, simple reports, or a board. We do not promise an unbounded “big data platform”.

Typical work

  • Collection and storage of agreed points
  • History query and basic reports
  • Alarm / event archive (as agreed)
  • Hooks to existing tables or files

Typical deliverables

  • Point and interval list
  • Table / interface notes
  • Query or report entry (as agreed)

What we need from you

  • Reachable data source or protocol
  • Agreed points and storage interval
  • Server or industrial PC to host it
Equipment networking and remote view

Bring equipment online and view status and history remotely. Network security is designed separately.

Where site network and security policy allow, connect equipment and view status or alarms remotely. Public exposure, VPN, access, and audit are agreed separately — going online is not the whole job.

Typical work

  • Equipment connection and communications commissioning
  • Remote status / alarm view
  • History retained as agreed
  • Access designed to the security requirement

Typical deliverables

  • Connection notes and accounts (as agreed)
  • Network topology points
  • How operations will view it

What we need from you

  • Usable site network and egress policy
  • Security and access requirements
  • A window for remote commissioning
System integration

Interfaces and data sync with MES/ERP and similar. Boundaries are written down.

Design fields, frequency, and error handling inside the current system boundary. The other side’s API docs and commissioning window are coordinated by the client. Acceptance follows the agreed fields and scenes.

Typical work

  • Interface fields and sync rules
  • Commissioning and error-handling agreement
  • Logs and retry (as agreed)
  • Handover of interface documents

Typical deliverables

  • Interface notes
  • Commissioning record
  • Error-handling agreement

What we need from you

  • The other system’s API docs or a contact
  • A test environment if you have one
  • Field and acceptance-scene list
Equipment retrofit

Add control and interlocks while keeping equipment that still works.

For older or semi-automatic lines, assess what can be changed, then deliver in stages. Retrofit boundary, shutdown windows, and acceptance are aligned before work starts. We do not promise an unconditional “fully automatic upgrade”.

Typical work

  • Site survey and boundary assessment
  • Cabinets / programs / HMI in stages
  • Interlock and safety items checked against the applicable rules
  • Before/after notes and handover

Typical deliverables

  • Scope note
  • Staged plan
  • Commissioning and acceptance record

What we need from you

  • Current equipment and drawings if you have them
  • Acceptable shutdown windows
  • Safety and electrical responsibility boundaries

How we proceed

  1. 1.

    See the current state — Equipment, communications, network, and available downtime. What can and cannot be done is stated first.

  2. 2.

    Set the scope — Work packages, deliverables, and acceptance go on a list before work starts.

  3. 3.

    Deliver in stages — Commission in the available windows. Issues are handled together. Scope does not expand on the fly.

  4. 4.

    Accept and hand over — Accept against the list. Programs and documents are handed over so your team can operate them.

Project types we have done

Scenes for reference. Results vary with the site and scope.

Aggregate smart dispatch — Weighing and dispatch combining DCS, electrics, and card access. Can be staged to reduce manned shifts. Product details →

HVAC central control — Central monitoring and control for DX units and modular plants. Scope follows the units and communications on site. Case page →

See if it fits

Tell us the equipment brand, communications, the step you want to change, and available commissioning windows. We first judge fit, then scope and stages.
