To increase enterprise efficiency, optimize production processes, improve product quality and increase profits, a high level of automation of process control systems is required. A modern automated process control system includes hardware and software that make it possible to create a reliable system, the algorithms of which imitate the functional and mental work of a person and ensure a stable, reliable technological process. A significant reduction in manual labor makes it possible to reduce the number of defects, make the production process reliable and stable, and also expand the range of products due to new capabilities of the production system.
Process automation, in addition to the economic component, also effectively affects the technical and social side of production. From a technical point of view, continuous monitoring and protection of the technological process is carried out, as well as diagnostics of equipment components, timely detection of malfunctions or deviations. The system allows you to protect personnel from unwanted errors, monitor the state of the technological process in real time and make decisions based on data coming from all levels of the system.
The social side includes improving working conditions, reducing injuries, simplifying the coordination of departments, as well as increasing the level of knowledge of workers, thereby increasing the production capital of the enterprise.
We approach each Customer individually and take into account industry trends, since we understand that the current situation in different industries is very different. For each enterprise, automated process control systems that are optimal for its production process are designed and developed.
Production of control cabinets
ME «Alfa-SBT» performs a wide range of work from designing automation cabinets to putting control systems into commercial operation:
- Pre-design work;
- Preparation of project documentation (cable logs, electrical diagrams, operating instructions, equipment layout plans);
- Selection of components based on leading European manufacturers of electrical equipment;
- Manufacturing of automation cabinets with subsequent testing in accordance with the developed documentation. The cabinets are assembled in our own production:
- Cabinets for level L2 (working and engineering stations for organizing visualization of technological processes and other necessary information, organizing the reception, transmission and processing of production and technical information);
- Level L1 control cabinets (process and equipment control - PLC cabinets, MCC cabinets, distributed peripheral devices, etc.)
- Cabinets for controlling L0 level equipment (instruments, sensors, technical means that perform the functions of interlocks and protections, switching control signals to actuators and manual control of equipment)
Regardless of the terms of the contract, the Automation Systems Department considers it obligatory to optimize and reduce costs at all stages of production without harming the quality of the project.
Software for automated process control systems
Specialists of the Department of Automation Systems "ALFA-SBT" have experience in developing software for automation systems for technological processes of varying complexity: from simple local tasks to complex automation solutions for an entire production plant. Projects are implemented using standard development packages SIEMENS TIA Portal (STEP7, WinCС Advanced, WinCC Professional other.), as well as packages for the development of automation systems from other manufacturers. The flexibility of our approach allows the department’s specialists to be active and responsive in resolving any complex issues that arise during launches, timely make changes to program algorithms, and adjust technological parameters to achieve optimal results.
The scope of work includes:
- 1.Analysis of technical requirements for the program;
- 2.Development of a project for complex automation of the facility;.
- 3.Modernization of an existing automation project (adjustment of existing software);
- 4.Development of programs for PLC;
- 5.Development of programs for human-machine interface HMI (operator panels);
- 6.Development of SCADA-systems;
- 7.Carrying out installation and supervision work on the electrical part;
- 8.Carrying out an initial test of equipment and electrical switching (I/O test);
- 9.Commissioning of control systems;
- 10.Automation systems service;
- 11.Training of existing personnel, instrumentation and automation engineers and process control systems;
