CONSULTING
E-TECH offers comprehensive Consultancy services to corporate clients and industries requiring Process and Manufacturing automation solutions, software solutions. Our services include Requirement definition studies, Project management and Software development, Training, Maintenance and Post Installation Support.
DESIGN
With our wide exposure we help in designing, configuring as per the application from the start. We believe in providing cost effective solutions to our customers by choosing the best combination and the right blend. Design requires careful choice of controls and memory requirements keeping in mind the cost, application and performance set by the customer.
INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING AND APPLICATION SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
With our experience in installation, commissioning and application program development for a varied of industrial controllers.
Installation requires a thorough knowledge of the mechanical, electrical and environmental conditions of the site of installation. We help in installation by studying the site conditions and then suggesting the per-requisites for the installation thus avoiding problems that could crop up during commissioning or during production and thereby saving time and money.
Commissioning of Industrial controller is one of the most difficult and time-consuming tasks. With, some type of industrial controllers it needs thorough knowledge of the type of operation to be performed and also in-depth knowledge of the controller itself.
Real time application software development calls for a thorough knowledge of Industries and type of application; it’s also calls for extreme vigilance and carefulness during development since it is real time and action takes place immediately and anything to be simulated takes place on the actual system without any opportunity for you to visualize before execution. Application software development has to be well optimized to keep cycle times as low as possible to meet time constraints of the application, loss of a few milliseconds per operation leads to a substantial reduction in the output rate.
RETROFITTING AND REVAMPING
Retrofitting is modernization or revamping of machines that have been in use for a long time. Although the mechanical parts of older machines are often in good condition, the electronics have undergone complete innovation to reliable and faster ones.
It is not viable to continue using obsolete equipment because in the long run not only will the equipment reduce the capability of your plant, but it will pose another problem; that is the availability of spare parts. The manufacturer is not usually producing spare parts of obsolete equipment or is producing it at an exorbitantly high cost and thus customers’ production plant will always be in danger of breaking down or ends up paying huge sums which at many a times is equivalent to the cost of retrofitting the machine with a newer system. But with retrofitting, the loss of valuable production time is reduced due to ready availability of spare parts and also repairs facility from the manufacturer.
Sometimes the company that the equipment is purchased from no longer exists. Hence the customer support and technical service will no longer be at your service. In this case, E-TECH will help you to retrofit and improve the performance in production in a cost-effective way. The other advantages that arise from retrofitting are lower downtimes, faster machining cycles, greater accuracy, machining of complex parts, program storage/increased memory capacity, improved user-friendliness and possibility of networking that are standard features of control systems now a days.
The following situations implies when to retrofit:
- Increased maintenance costs
- Decreased output
- Frequent Shutdown maintenance
- Employees not working at 100% efficiency
- No spare parts available/scarce
- Unavailability of service
- Increased downtime
- Lost production
These are just some signs that suggest that you must retrofit in order to counter these problems or other potential more serious problems. It is very important to check your machines periodically and identify these problems. In this way, you can rectify them early with E-TECH expertise to get the most out of your machinery.
General Steps involved in retrofitting
- Identify the scope of work
- Collect information on the process and E-TECH will conducts feasibility study
- Checking of equipment condition to identify the items to be replaced
- Propose new configurations and to prepare offers for new upgrade system
- Acceptance by customer
- Establish project schedule between E-TECH and customer
- Development, installation and commissioning by E-TECH
- Handover
