Project overview

An oil and gas facility required a retrofit of its aging relay-based control system with a modern PLC-based automation system. The project involved programming, SCADA development, and integration with existing field instruments.

We delivered a complete automation solution including PLC programming, SCADA system development, HMI design, and operator training.

01

The challenge

The facility could not shut down for extended periods, requiring the automation system to be commissioned in phases during short maintenance windows.

02

Our approach

We developed a phased commissioning plan that allowed sections of the plant to be migrated to the new control system incrementally without interrupting overall production.

Outcomes

What the project achieved

01Reduced manual intervention by 80%
02Improved process visibility through SCADA
03Reduced alarm response time by 60%
04Operator training completed before handover
