Services
The primary scope of the services that we offer to our customers is the electrical engineering, design, fabrication, and implementation of machine control systems and automation. The specific process to be controlled can be any industrial process, such as heating systems, refrigeration systems, water pump systems, extrusion systems, material handling systems, etc. We have extensive experience for all of these industrial applications.
Core Services for Intelligent Automation
Functional specifications
As part of the project definition phase for any project, we will provide a written functional specification for the process to be controlled, and the electrical equipment to be designed and provided. We work closely with your team of experts to understand the technical details of the project, and to document the equipment and services that we will provide.
Electrical design
Once the functional specifications for the project have been defined and agreed upon, we perform the electrical design for the machine control system. This generally involves creating the electrical design architecture, power distribution, and selecting the main components of the electrical system. We work closely with the customer during this process to ensure compliance with all of the requirements for the project.
BOM creation
We create the Bill Of Material (BOM) for the machine control system, which is the list of parts needed for the project. This consists of a list of all the parts needed to build the control system, and is typically the electrical enclosure, main disconnect circuit breaker, secondary circuit breakers, motor starters, contactors, motor controllers, PLCs, HMIs, cooling fans, etc.
Schematic creation
We create the schematic drawings for the electrical control system, including the wiring connections to the field devices (as required). The schematic drawings allow for the assembly of control panel, field device wiring connections, commissioning of the system, and longer term maintenance of the system.
Panel layout
We create the panel layout drawings, which shows the components mounted on the subpanel, and shows the components on the outside of the enclosure (such as the HMI screen, switches, visible alarm indicators, breaker handle, etc.).
PLC programing
We will write the PLC programming software for the application in accordance with the written functional specifications.
HMI programming
We will write the HMI programming software for the application in accordance with the written functional specifications.
SCADA programming
We will incorporate the capability for remote access to the control system, and write the SCADA software in accordance with the written functional specifications.
System commissioning
We will commission (start up) the control system with the process to be controlled, along with your team of experts and/or operators.
