Featured Projects
Rail-to-Storage and Automated Truck Rack System
The terminal control system managed the offloading of 80 rail cars into storage through three dedicated product meter skids. It enabled automated multi-flowrate proving to validate metering accuracy across varying flow conditions. The implementation included direct integration with TMS6 to transfer batch and transaction data from Spirit flow computers, ensuring seamless system coordination. It also incorporated an interface with Toptech Multiloads to support fully unattended driver operations at an eight-bay truck rack, reducing on-site labor requirements and improving loading efficiency.

SCADA Modernization for Manufacturing
An enterprise-wide SCADA system, utilizing Inductive Automation Ignition and Kepware OPC for plant-wide PLC communications, was developed for a health care product manufacturer, replacing legacy systems and reducing costs. It provided centralized historical data access, improving reporting for materials, batching, and forecasting, and integrated with the maintenance database for better downtime analysis. The platform featured custom diagnostic tools using historical data, significantly speeding up root cause identification and reducing equipment downtime. Tailored HMI screens and overhead displays further enhanced operational efficiency by offering operators consolidated views of key parameters. Its flexible, SQL-driven configuration backend supported standardization while enabling rapid adjustments for dynamic operational changes.

PLC Upgrade
Maximizing Packaging Line Output & Reliability
A focused improvement project addressed significant operational challenges on relocated filling and packaging lines for a health care product manufacturer. Intensive troubleshooting, repairs, and the implementation of standard coding methods on the existing equipment successfully increased production from an initial 20-30K units/month to meet the goal of over 3 million units per month within six months. Further work focused on long-term maintainability and future expansion through equipment standardization. This included replacing numerous legacy PLCs (Modicon, SLC) with modern CompactLogix hardware, performing complete code rewrites, and standardizing associated HMI and VFDs. These significant hardware upgrades were executed efficiently with minimal production downtime during commissioning
