    PLC, HMI & SCADA Programming

    Plantwide control systems typically involve the integration of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. Programming these components plays a crucial role in developing a comprehensive and effective control system.

    Cybertrol uses programming standards to ensure a cohesive and high-quality result. We exercise a modular approach so standardized templates can be utilized as the building blocks and foundation of a robust, flexible, and scalable control system. Our team builds applications that provide tiered data visibility, allowing for high-level operations such as production monitoring down to detailed device monitoring, while also integrating best practice design methods throughout the process.

    Control System Migrations and Upgrades

    You shouldn’t feel stuck within your legacy control system. We manage large-scale facility assessments and control system upgrades in a controlled, well-planned manner to ensure minimal plant downtime. The process starts by analyzing existing wiring systems and software operations before creating and implementing updated designs to meet the specific needs of your plant. The result is a coordinated integration and construction plan, executed via a seamless transition.

    Here is what you can expect from Cybertrol Engineering, when you partner with us for your next plantwide automation project.

    Control and Information System Integration Planning

    Control & Information System Integration Planning

    We will develop an integration plan that outlines how the different control and information systems will be interconnected within the plant. This plan will consider data flow, communication protocols, hardware compatibility, and software interfaces to ensure a cohesive, efficient system.

    Control System Integration Project Execution and Coordination

    Project Execution & Coordination

    Cybertrol will take charge of project execution, coordinating tasks including system installation, configuration, programming, and testing. We work closely with vendors, contractors, and design firms to ensure smooth implementation and minimize disruptions to plant operations.

    Comprehensive Risk Management for Control Systems

    Comprehensive Risk Management

    Throughout a project, we will identify and mitigate potential risks and challenges. We develop contingency plans, monitor project progress, and proactively address any issues that may arise, ensuring the project stays on track and within budget.

    System Integration Commissioning and Startup

    Control System Commissioning & Startup

    We will oversee the commissioning and startup process, conducting thorough testing to ensure the automation and information systems function as intended. We will work with plant personnel to train operators and ensure a smooth transition to the new systems.

    Control System Optimization and Continuous Improvement

    Optimization & Continuous Improvement

    After the initial implementation, we will continue to monitor and optimize the performance of our automation and information systems. We will analyze data, identify areas for improvement, and implement enhancements to maximize efficiency, productivity, and reliability.

    Testimonials

    Just wanted to reach out and let you know that your team has done an outstanding job on the project. In fact, they have done so well, so fast, that they will wrap up the project early. They worked their way through the panel/enclosure assemblies way more quickly than I anticipated. It worked out VERY well and I’ll definitely keep you guys in mind as we move through the spring. We’ve got more projects coming through, but we’re just not ready yet for any additional resources. Thanks again!! "
