Modernisation

Modernisation

We have successfully replaced many outdated control systems with PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers) or DCS (Distributed Control Systems) based systems. Often old systems become maintenance intensive, with high failure rates and intermittent problems that are difficult to track down. The new controller and computer-based systems are highly reliable and have built in diagnostics that make troubleshooting faster and easier.

Finally, we offer operator training, either on-the-job or in a classroom setting, for operation and maintenance. In some cases, we have programmed simulations and "online" manuals for complex systems or strategies.

Once the new system is installed and the new programming is loaded, we work with mill E/1technicians to perform an 1/0 checkout to verify the new field wiring and a logic check to test essential interlocks before start up - and to give them experience with the system.

We then staff the startup around the clock (if needed) until it is running satisfactorily. Following startup we provide you with a final record drawing package and all documentation. We provide both operational and maintenance support until the mill staff is comfortable with all phases of the system. Once we leave the site our staff is available as needed for support.

Your success is our success!
