Automation of machines and industrial plants by applying modern technologies in the field of automation and process control is our main activity. A large number of references in this area indicate the trust we have with existing ones, but also the trust we gain with new clients.

Automation is playing an increasingly important role in the global economy and day-to-day operations. Benefits which are attributed to automation include higher production rates and increased productivity, more efficient use of materials, better product quality, improved safety, shorter working weeks, and shorter production times. Higher production and increased productivity are the two biggest reasons for the justified use of automation.

Despite claims of high quality manufacturing by humans, automated systems typically perform a manufacturing process with less variability relative to humans, resulting in greater control and consistency of product quality. In support of this is an example of installing car pistons in engines. The percentage of error during manual installation was about 1%, while using automated installation the error was reduced to 0.00001%. Also, enhanced process control allows for more efficient use of materials, resulting in less waste.

Monitoring and control

Our specialty is the implementation of projects and software solutions for remote monitoring and process management, as follows:

  • Centralized or distributed monitoring using SCADA systems,
  • Local and / or remote monitoring and process management (PLC, HMI),
  • Communication technologies and links to remote locations.

Within the automation of various technological processes in the industry, we offer complete solutions for monitoring and control (design, delivery of equipment, software development and execution of projects as a whole) for:

  • Drinking water treatment plants and wastewater treatment plants
  • Factories and mixed fodder
  • Mills and silos
  • Factories in the field of confectionery industry and food industry in general
  • Petroleum industry plants
  • Electric power facilities (transformer stations, thermal power plants)
  • Pharmaceutical plants and
  • Many other facilities, according to the requirements of our clients…

In addition to standard communication technologies that include optical / cable communications with standard industry protocols (RS-485, Modbus, Profibus, DeviceNet, etc.) and radio communication links, we are able to solve the requirements where data transmission is performed using GSM communication. and / or SMS) thus offering a complete communication system suitable for all types of applications.

For more than 20 years, one of our key activities has been the implementation of supervisory and control systems, primarily in industry. The term “supervisory and control system” here means computer systems for local and / or remote monitoring and control of various technological processes in the industry, in accordance with the requirements of the investor or end user.

A special part within the supervision and control consists of projects for monitoring and analysis of low voltage electricity network and reactive energy compensation with the aim of achieving savings in consumption.
