Engineering and automation
Industrial automation: PLC, HMI and SCADA
We program PLCs, HMI panels and SCADA systems, connect the plant over industrial networks and keep it accessible remotely. We handle the electrical engineering and build the panels ourselves, for small and large industry alike.
Process control
PLC and controller programming
We carry out industrial automation projects at every stage, from the preliminary study to commissioning, with PLCs and controllers from the leading manufacturers.
- Siemens
- TIA Portal
- S7-1200 / S7-1500
- Allen-Bradley / Rockwell
- Schneider
- ABB
- Omron
PLCPLCs
Programming of PLCs and controllers for machine and process control, including Siemens S7-1200 and S7-1500 with TIA Portal.
DCSDistributed control systems (DCS)
Architectures with several networked controllers sharing control of the process.
Monitoring
HMI panels and SCADA systems
We program the panels operators use to run the machine and the SCADA systems that monitor the whole plant from a central station, with history and alarms.
HMITouchscreen operator panels (HMI)
Operator panels at the machine to control the machine or process with ease.
WinCCSCADA with Siemens WinCC
HMI panels and plant monitoring in Siemens environments.
FactoryTalkSCADA with Rockwell FactoryTalk
HMI panels and plant monitoring in Allen-Bradley / Rockwell environments.
Communications
Industrial networks and communications
We connect PLCs, panels, drives and field devices over fieldbuses and industrial protocols, and bring plant data through to the monitoring system.
- Profinet
- Profibus
- Modbus RTU
- Modbus TCP
- EtherNet/IP
- OPC UA
- MQTT
If you also want to log and visualise production data, see our industrial digitalisation service.
Remote access
Remote access, remote service and telemetry
We keep the installation accessible remotely so we can diagnose and fix issues without travelling, and we transmit data and alarms when the site is remote or spread across several locations.
- Remote service: VPN access to the PLC and HMI through industrial routers
- 4G/5G routers with VPN
- GSM remote control and alarm notification
- Point-to-point radio links for long-distance data transmission
- Remote technical assistance
Cybersecurity
Industrial cybersecurity (OT)
A plant that can be reached remotely has to be protected. We separate the control network (OT) from the office network and the internet, and use firewalls to limit who gets in and which devices they can reach.
- OT network segmentation
- Firewalls
- VPN remote access
Drives
Variable speed drives and servo drives
We integrate AC variable frequency drives, DC drives and servo drives into machine and process automation, controlled from the PLC.
- ABB
- Siemens
- Allen-Bradley
- LS
- Vacon
- Schneider
- Danfoss
If a drive fails, we also handle variable speed drive repair.
Design office
From schematic to switchboard
Our design office draws up electrical schematics with professional software such as EPLAN and AutoCAD, with everything needed to build, install and maintain the installation.
- Electrical schematics with cross-references
- Terminal, component and cable lists
- Enclosure design
- Project documentation and permitting
We build the panels in our own workshop: see switchboards and ATEX panels.
How we work
Projects from start to finish
- Preliminary studyWe analyse the task to be automated and the needs of your installation.
- ProposalWe advise you on choosing the most suitable solution.
- CommissioningWe program the PLC, HMI panels and SCADA, then install and commission the solution.
- DocumentationWe hand over drawings, user manuals and equipment data sheets.
