We perform programmable logic controller (PLC) projects that range from small (10 I/O or less) to large (thousands of I/O) networked PLCs. We provide a full range of engineering services, from scope and cost estimates to final implementation and commissioning.
.
 
The Challenge
PLCs were originally designed to replace the relay technology used in the automotive industry. This technology has become widely used in all industries where process control and automation are present. PLCs:
• improve safety and reliability
• improve product quality through enhanced monitoring and data acquisition capabilities and tighter control
• improve scalability (ease of expansion)
•standardize programming
 
The Solution
We specialize in complete PLC implementation, including:
• relay logic system replacement
• logic and control strategy design
• system architecture design
• PLC selection and purchase
• panel design and purchase
• detailed termination and associated electrical design
• motor control design
• programming and documentation
• IEC 1131 programming
• system integration
• full system simulation, testing, and training on integrated systems prior to onsite installation
• commissioning
• support
Our PLC experience goes beyond basic sequential control. We also implement network-based systems performing both process and batch control.
     
  Benefits  
     
 

We have a strong background in PLCs, which is enhanced by a large staff of experienced PLC programmers and system designers. This experience allows us to perform well on projects with tight schedules and limited budgets. Our employees work as a team, with work processes in place to ensure quality control.
Our systems are designed with a focus on safety and reliability. The benefits of using this technology include increased maintainability and scalability, a reduction in required manpower, and more efficient control. These benefits contribute to increased quality and production.
