Project 1
Flavour & Oil Sprayer
Industry: Food Processing
Location: Down, N.Ireland
Finish Date: Sep 2020
This innovative system was used to spray flavour over multiple food products. PID's used to ensure accurate & reliable flow throughput.
Ethernet messaging to allow remote communication & interfacing with other factory machinery.
Project 4
Crate De-Stacker
Industry: Material Handling
Location: Cambridge, England
Finish Date: Jan 2019
This machine took full batches of crates, de-stacked them one at a time & delivered them to a high speed food production line.
High precision motion control was required via a servo drive. The PLC & HMI also included recipes, pneumatics & motor control.
Project 7
Allen Bradley SLC 500 Upgrade
Industry: Meat Processing
Location: Tyrone, N.Ireland
Finish Date: Sep 2018
The Allen Bradley SLC 500 controller is a robust logic controller used in factories for more than 20+ years. However, the SLC is now discontinued, meaning that spare parts are harder to find.
We successfully upgraded our client's SLC system to an AB CompactLogix controller, future proofing them for the next 20+ years.
Project 10
Crate Washing System
Industry: Material Handling
Location: Toronto, Canada
Finish Date: Feb 2020
This plant took stacked crates full of used compost, de-stacked them, tipped & emptied them, washed them, & then restacked them.
Multiple motors, sensors & hydraulics used. CC Link remote IO network was used as this was a large system with multiple junction boxes.
Project 13
Concrete Silo System
Industry: Concrete
Location: Tyrone, N.Ireland
Finish Date: Sep 2018
This control system was used for the filling & emptying of silos used for the making of concrete. The operator would select what bin they want to fill up, the control system would automatically traverse conveyors into position to begin filling.
Analogue ultrasonic sensors were used to monitor bin level. Level & warnings were displayed on the HMI. A forward/reverse shuttle conveyor had to be precisely controlled to ensure it stopped in the correct position. Remote access provided to allow remote diagnostics & support.
Project 2
Quarry Washing Plant
Industry: Quarry
Location: London, England
Finish Date: Dec 2018
This system was used to wash sand & gravel & to separate them into different grades.
Sequence start up & shutdown including alarms & status. Hand control provided to allow individual running of each motor.
Ethernet remote IO used to cover large site.
Project 5
Chemical Dosing (Compost)
Industry: Compost Treatment
Location: Tyrone, N.Ireland
Finish Date: Aug 2019
This ingenious plant treats compost by blending ingredients & dosing it with specific amounts of acid & water.
The amount of water & acid added is critical. This was achieved with PID's & multiple feedback from flow-meters & pH meters.
Ethernet remote IO used to cover large site.
Project 8
Cheese Batching
Industry: Food Processing
Location: Yorkshire, England
Finish Date: Aug 2019
This machine fed cheese curd into a hopper & then dumped it into a mould, which would then get pressed.
The PLC & HMI had to achieve accurate weights using loadcells over a Modbus network.
Project 11
Compost Blending
Industry: Mushrooms & Compost
Location: Toronto, Canada
Finish Date: Dec 2020
This mobile machine is used for the treatment & agitation of compost before it can be used to grow mushrooms.
Motor sequence start & stop, HOA control, hours run, etc. Remote Access VPN to allow remote support & monitoring to Canada from Ireland.
Project 14
Lamb Carcass Leg Cutter
Industry: Meat Processing
Location: Down, N.Ireland
Finish Date: Mar 2020
A lot of time & money goes into lamb & beef processing before it arrives on your plate. This system replaces the need for an operator to hold & operate a cumbersome cutting blade by automating the process.
Using an 'index' & 'product in place' sensor this system is able to track the main Abattoir Dressing Line. The system will recognise when a carcass is in position & perform the relevant cut via the precise & high speed control of a hydraulic cutting blade. Between each cut the blade is sterilised automatically.
Project 3
Factory HVAC
Industry: Building Management (BMS)
Location: Tyrone, N.Ireland
Finish Date: Aug 2020
This modern system was used to control & monitor the water heating for an entire factory.
Multiple PID's, analogue sensors & trend graphs were used to ensure full functionality.
Project 6
Abattoir Boning Hall
Industry: Food Processing
Location: Glasgow, Scotland
Finish Date: Jun 2019
This system controls a factory production room full of food grade conveyors used for the processing of meat.
The PLC & HMI has alarms, conveyor status & control, speed control, wash mode & EStop PB location indicators.
Project 9
Crate Delivery System
Industry: Material Handling
Location: Antrim, N.Ireland
Finish Date: Dec 2019
This system delivered crates to multiple high speed production lines. Multiple sensors & pneumatic cylinders required.
CC Link remote IO network was used as this was a large system with multiple junction boxes.
Project 12
Water Treatment
Industry: Water Treatment
Location: Tyrone, N.Ireland
Finish Date: Jan 2018
This system was used in an effluent plant used for the treatment of waste water used in a Meat Processing Factory.
The correct dosing of chemicals (ferric acid, caustic acid & flocculant) was critical using pH meters & flow-meters.
Project 15
Food Factory Conveyor System
Industry: Food Processing
Location: Wicklow, Ireland
Finish Date: Apr 2018
This PLC & HMI controlled a conveyor system for an entire factory production floor. Interface signals were required with multiple machinery such as Metal Detectors, Bagging Machines, Freezers, Cookers & Weighing Hoppers.
Hand, Off & Auto control, speed control & status for every conveyor along with E-Stop PB locations.
