Plant Control (PLC)
PLC programming for blending controls and plant modernization. We work with Siemens and Rockwell platforms, assess existing hardware before recommending replacement, and structure code around IEC 61131-3 conventions.
Home / Solutions
Service areas.
Six areas of work we can help with, depending on the project. Most engagements draw on more than one.
Operator HMI, SCADA
HMI design aligned with ISA-101 guidelines. Mix screens, totals, recipe editor, calibration. Designed with the operators who'll be using it. Plant-wide oversight and redundancy features where required.
Reporting & Database
Shift reports, totals, ticketing integration, production-vs-target views. SQL Server / SQL Express historian, totals-by-mix, ticket history, alarm-history exports. Practical reporting, kept as simple as the task allows.
Cloud / Remote KPI
Optional cloud-based dashboard integration for indicators such as tons/hr, fuel use, RAP %, and downtime. Scoped to what your operation actually needs to see.
Retrofits & Upgrades
Reuse-first retrofits for aging panels, PLCs, HMIs, PCs, and field hardware. We replace what is end-of-life, keep what is safe and serviceable, and plan cutovers around off-season windows.
Support & Service
Remote support arrangements, on-site service when needed, and training packages for operators and maintenance. Terms agreed up front.
Process
How a project typically runs.
An outline — the exact shape varies from project to project.
Listen
A conversation about the plant and the problem. Where useful, a site visit and a walk-through with the lead personnel.
Scope
A written proposal with reuse assumptions, required hardware changes, software deliverables, training plan, and a cutover window.
Build & FAT
Code is developed and tested in shop, with simulated I/O where possible and operator dry-runs on the actual HMI panels.
Cutover & Care
Cutover is planned around the off-season where possible. We aim to be on site for the first paving day, with remote support arrangements after that.
