The process control and interlocking of the plant as well as the provision of data is done via the PLC software mainly on the Siemens and Allen Bradley platforms. The PLC software is used for:

• programming of both small as well as large and complex systems
• networked systems via Profibus, Profinet, Ethernet
• drive systems (servo motors)
• interfaces to process control systems and control systems from other parts of the plant
• Retrofit applications (such as Siemens S5 - S7)

To fully benefit from the system, the use of visualization and operation at the relevant locations within the plant is essential. This ensures that the plant operators have the important information of the plant status and can intervene in the process.

On the Siemens, Wonderware or Allen Bradley platforms you enjoy the following added values with our visualizations:

• clear display of the process
• user-friendly process control
• possibility to log historical data
• trending of measured values
• use of touch panel / tablet
• single-user systems
• client / server environments
• language switching
• operator guidance in case of errors
• clear alarms and messages

High availability, ease of use and good scalability - thanks to these features the ICS process control system can be used cost effectively and usefully for small as well as for large installations. Its strength lies in the control and monitoring of processes in the field of food and non-food industries.

The system ensures complete lot, respectively batch tracking of all raw materials, intermediate and finished products. It also ensures that all relevant data for ingredients and production are available. With the ICS process control system you have the following functionalities:

• job management
• recipe handling
• management system for parameters, bin data, etc.
• process and production data processing in real time
• various data analysis / statistics
• product / batch tracing
• customer-specific reports
• interface to the ERP system

To minimize interruptions to production, it is our goal to achieve the start up of your new or modified control system smoothly and as quickly as possible. We take the following steps:

• hardware modifications
• configuration of hardware components
• input / output test
• testing of the safety systems
• dry running and starting production
• process optimization and production support

For this, reliable electrical installations form the basis. Our highly trained professionals will take care of:

• engineering for the electrical installation of machines
• implementation and monitoring of electrical installations
• perform electrical tests
• creation of test protocols

Even after the commissioning, your system is in the best hands with us. We support you with:

• customer training at ICS or at your location
