WHAT WE OFFER

CASE HISTORY

Revamping

Realized automation systems for sophisticated plants of transport and dosing powders and implemented projects of "revamping" of old machines and plants where we developed and/or updated software, identified specific mechanical improvements, integrated new sensors/actuators dealing with the activities of analysis, design, implementation and commissioning with the drafting of risk analysis and documentation of technical files relating to the declaration of conformity of the plants (e.g. EC Conformity).

Industrial Internet of Things

Integration of SCADA and PLC systems with production lines (machine signals, scales, labeling machines, mixers, etc.) and factory MES systems for the automated launch of production cycles, traceability and monitoring of the entire processing cycle).
Each implementation has been accompanied through supervision during the implementation phases, participation and/or coordination of factory (FAT) and field (SAT) tests, assistance to the start-up and commissioning of the solutions.

Manufacturing Execution System
Experiences of design and implementation of solutions for the statistical control of the production process and traceability of raw materials vs. finished product. Thanks to the adoption of these solutions it has been possible to ensure the achievement of the quality standards required by the sector.

Analysis and Consultancy

Design of automation systems (ISA S95 levels 1, 2 and 3) from feasibility study to commissioning and validation.
Process analysis, user requirements specifications (URS), functional specifications (FDS), definition of block and safety logics, definition of system architectures, hardware specifications (HDS), software specifications (SDS), panel specifications, signal lists, definition of physical model and procedural model according to ISA S88.
Drafting of purchase specifications, tender specifications, technical alignment and technical-economic evaluation of offers, verification of suppliers' documentation.
