We supply complete software control of the entire technological process to our plants. Automatic control of the line/plant operation reduces the amount of human labour required, increases plant efficiency and ensures consistent quality results. Despite the initial higher investment, automatic plant control is economically more advantageous than manual control due to higher productivity, consistent process quality and lower operator requirements.
The software solution is the result of development by our own programming team and is continuously being improved. We are therefore not dependent on an external control system supplier. For each customer we design an order-made control system to meet their requirements and ideas. We always run our systems on the latest version of the SIEMENS Sematic platform, Schneider, which allows almost unlimited flexibility of the solution.
Thanks to our system, production can be planned efficiently. The system efficiently plans the use of production line capacity. The system performs simulations of future operations so that it can accurately plan individual line operations and schedule the passage of goods through the line to achieve optimum line utilization while adhering to all specified recipes. The system clearly displays all this information to the line operator on a touch panel at the line or on a PC. The operator thus knows exactly when and in what order the goods will be returned to him before the operation starts. The line operator can therefore focus primarily on the inlet and outlet sections of the line and leave the rest to our system, which takes care of the rest.
The system allows freely programmable recipes, as well as a custom recipe for each rack in the line. There can be multiple items in the line at one time, each with its own recipe. The automation system itself resolves any collisions and plans the optimal passage of goods through the line.
Our systems communicate with each other! The system controlling the surface treatment line communicates with the system controlling the WWTP and vice versa. This prevents production deficit and overcrowding at individual nodes. For example, the line knows exactly when it can discharge waste water to the WWTP. It also knows, for example, exactly how much DI-water it has ready in the treatment plant and can plan its production in advance so that there is never a shortage.

Data record:
Our company has a team specialized in the implementation of programming work according to the SCADA system:
SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) is a control system architecture comprising computers, networked data communications and graphical user interfaces for high-level supervision of machines and processes. It also covers sensors and other devices, such as programmable logic controllers, which interface with process plant or machinery.
The operator interfaces which enable monitoring and the issuing of process commands, such as controller set point changes, are handled through the SCADA computer system. The subordinated operations, e.g. the real-time control logic or controller calculations, are performed by networked modules connected to the field sensors and actuators.
The SCADA concept was developed to be a universal means of remote-access to a variety of local control modules, which could be from different manufacturers and allowing access through standard automation protocols. In practice, large SCADA systems have grown to become similar to distributed control systems in function, while using multiple means of interfacing with the plant. They can control large-scale processes that can span multiple sites, and work over large distances. It is one of the most commonly-used types of industrial control systems.
PLCs are used for control and monitoring purposes, while SCADA systems are used for visualization and operator interface.
PLCs are more specific and localized while SCADA is more general and centralized. Together, PLCs and SCADA systems provide a comprehensive automation solution that can help to improve the efficiency, productivity, and safety of industrial operations
