In the paper and packaging sector we carry out DCS automation, machine modernization, 800xA upgrade and Kepware OPC projects. Paper machines are long-lived: the mechanical structure runs for decades while the control system changes through several generations. That is why an important part of our work in this sector is renewing the control system without stopping a running machine.

Our work in this sector

  • DCS automation of paper machine (PM) lines.
  • Modernization of existing machines and upgrade to 800xA (system upgrade).
  • Programming on AC 410/450 and AC 800M (PM860, PM866) controllers (PLC/DCS programming).
  • Kepware OPC projects to pass production data to upper systems (Kepware OPC).
  • Service, planned maintenance and remote support (service and maintenance).

What stands out in modernization

  • Minimizing downtime: a phased move that fits planned outage opportunities, with FAT beforehand.
  • Spare-part risk: a lifecycle plan for older-generation controllers and I/O (see our spare parts article).
  • Data access: collecting production and downtime data with timestamps and quality (data and reporting).
