Industrial Control Systems
We have extensive experience in the polymer, paper, and other forest products industries, using programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and personal computer-based operator interfaces, as well as distributed control systems (DCSs). We can interface your plant floor systems with data warehouse systems such as PI, and provide custom database management of your plant floor data. Additionally, we can interface your PLC and DCS systems for coordinated control.
Our services include project management, engineering design, drawing production, PLC programming, operator interface design and configuration, DCS graphic and control configuration, operator and technician training, and checkout/startup.
We can also provide process control optimization, including control strategy development, loop tuning, and process audits. Our troubleshooting skills can quickly bring your process back online when problems occur.
