Completed projects include....

Continuous upgrades of the MIS Bulk Ingredient Monitoring system to track ingredient usage at The Jacob's Bakery, Liverpool. This involved a SoftPLC VIEWpoint SCADA system linked on seven site-wide networks to over 40 PLCs to extract bulk ingredient usage from each process.

Installation of Operating Equipment Efficient OEE System for checking downtime at The Jacob's Bakery, Liverpool. This involved a SoftPLC VIEWpoint SCADA system linked on six site-wide networks to 15 PLCs to extract downtime information for each layer of the mixing and wrapping sequences.

Replacement of an old Zilog 8080 control system with a new Siemens S7 318 PLC. This high speed control system uses fast I/O, Siemens FM350 encoders and high speed interrupts to control the cutting in a paper mill. OP27 and TD17 operator panels allow control and fault anaylsis by operators and maintenance personnel.

Maintenance and continual modification/improvements to the Spring Loading and testing system at Allevard Springs Tonypandy. This consists of 5 Siemens or Allen Bradley PLCs with Intouch or Siemens SCADA systems.

Upgrade from Siemens Wf470 to Siemens Protool/Pro system for several local manufacturing plants
	Maintenance and commissioning of Electron Beam Welder machines for a world wide company. These consist of the Electron Beam welder linked to a CNC and Siemens PLC with a graphics user interface for operator access.

Implementation of Toilet Extraction Systems for British Rail. A typical system consists of over 30 PLCs linked to a main Control Unit. This project controlled the emptying of toilets on the Channel Tunnel Trains with simple operator displays at each SMP to maximise ease of use.

Clark's Shoes

Update of old Siemens S5 PLC (including robotic control) to new current Siemens S7 system.

A custom wire manufacturer use MR Control to upgrade the control system. This included Allen Bradley SLC5/04 with encoder cards linked via DeviceNet to 4 Eurotherm 590+ drives. Operator panels, such as Panelview 600 units .were used to control the line with Intouch SCADA coollecting OEE and downtime information.

Continual writing of custom protocols for a local company. The protocols are written in C++ and FORTH and were used to link the company's own Graphical Operator Interface Units to many PLCs including Siemens, Gem, Allen Bradley, GE-Fanuc, Mitsubishi and others.

Continual modifications to the software for the Club Biscuit Production Line at The Jacob's Bakery, Liverpool. This involves upgrading the software and linking the existing control and recipe handling software to reduce downtime by up to 90%. The line consists of 15 Allen-Bradley PLCs linked by the Data Highway Plus to a VIEWpoint Graphic System.
