Under the direction of the engineering director, we performed a plant audit and overhaul which included retrofitting systems, removing certain bottlenecks, conversions of SCADA / control systems to a specific standard, augmenting operator workflow, and more.
We were approached to help with a conversion of Wonderware to FActoryTalk View SE as part of a corporate effort to standardize on Rockwell Automation equipment. During the conversion, we've identified various areas of improvement for the facility - migration from legacy systems (PLC 5, SLC 500, TI505, etc.), revamp of their networking architecture, and a substantial overhaul of control system from manual to automated.
As the project unfolded, we've not only migrated to FTView SE, but delivered a much more automated control architecture to the entire facility. Numerous areas were migrated to the CompactLogix / ControlLogix platforms, connected to the network, automated, had PID loops added to them, instrumentation revamped, etc.
The facility has seen substantial production improvements in the following areas:
