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.

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.

SMK Control was involved with the backup power supply generation for one of the worlds largest semi-conductor manufacturers.

Testing & commissioning of fibre-optic networks. IO functional testing. Modbus TCP mapping. Ethernet IP node assignment.

This client produces chemicals which are used by water treatment companies around the UK and Ireland.

SMK Control was tasked with upgrading the controls for a batching plant to make it fully automatic controlled to reduce labour time & improve consistency.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

We designed, installed & commissioned a control system which dosed compost with water & nitric acid. PID loops were used to ensure the exact quantities were delivered.

Batch information such as weight, time & water quantity were saved to a SQL database for record keeping.

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.

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. 

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.

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.
