From rescuing obsolescent systems and retrofitting legacy systems to the latest controls software Conveyor Networks can optimise the automation performance in most systems.
Our SCADA interfaces provide real time monitoring and diagnostics. An end to end view from automation to ERP can be achieved with our own warehouse software platform. imio software provides a real time interface between automation and host IT systems.
Services we provide
System architecture design
Designing a complex system involves bringing together a number of different layers of design in a process known as layering. This is fundamental to ensure that at the various levels the appropriate controls can all communicate with each other properly. At Conveyor Networks we are experts in designing intelligent systems and understanding their complexities. We ensure that all aspects of the system can all speak to each other and function effectively.
We are partners of major network suppliers such as Siemens (Profi-bus / ASi / ASiSafe) and Rockwell (Ethernet P / Controlnet / Devicenet).
PLC software development
At Conveyor Networks we are proud to have the in-house expertise to design and code Control Software. Our capabilities are across all types of interfaces, whether they be Operator or Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) or Graphical User Interfaces (GUI). Our Software engineers develop and in house test all PLC coding before delivery to site ensuring a smooth trouble free installation.
E-design
Conveyor Networks offer a bespoke design solution for all aspects of electrical & control design to produce either standalone solutions or seamless integration into existing systems.
Our engineers have extensive experience across multiple platforms including industry leaders Siemens and Rockwell automation, this allows us to offer complex solutions to meet your business needs.
Our designs are produced using AutoCad and are in accordance with BS7671 IEE Wiring Regulations.
Installation, commissioning and support
We are specialists in advising on, modifying and implementing mechanical and electrical installation. On the mechanical side of things, we will install conveyors, machinery and steelwork. For electrical installation, we can install your electrical and control system and provide you with all the required test certificates such as IEE, NICEIC. Our strategic partnerships with Siemens and Rockwell give us access to the very best systems.
HMI
An HMI is a software application that presents information to an operator or user about the state of a process, and accepts and implements the operators instructions. Typically information is displayed in a graphic format (Graphical User Interface or GUI).
The integration of a human machine interface (HMI) and programmable logic controller (PLC) provides a lean automation solution. Lean automation is a proven, powerful method to boost efficiencies in production processes.
SCADA
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a real time system for monitoring and controlling industrial and manufacturing processes, and facilities. Several subsystems combine to make up an entire SCADA solution.
SCADA systems include hardware and software components. The hardware gathers and feeds data into a computer that has SCADA software installed. The computer then processes this data and presents it in a timely manner. SCADA also records and logs all events into a file stored on a hard disk or sends them to a printer. SCADA gives a visual representation of the device status out on the plant i.e. motors sensors etc. and can display faults and generate alarms to allow operators to diagnose faults effectively.
Conveyor Networks can either integrate with your existing SCADA system or install one as part of the overall controls solution.
