This refurbishment was instigated by the client when areas of the process had starting to fail. Original suppliers and spare parts were becoming difficult to locate, shutting the process down for extended periods of time.
Initially, Scantime Automation was brought in to help troubleshoot when a serious breakdown stopped production for several days.
To build a new facility would take years. It would place the company at serious risk of further downtime, which could be worse than the last. Therefore, it was decided to upgrade the obsolete control system to a newer, supported control system.
We chose Schneider to supply their M580 PLC systems and Magelis HMIs to control the automated process and replace the obsolete Telemechanique equipment that had controlled the customer’s production line for over 20 years.
