Increase production

It is not possible for human workers to work for long hours without losing accuracy. On the other hand, Industrial automated control systems are able to work for long hours without compromising on accuracy. Hence, increased productivity and efficiency per hour of labor input.

Reduce operating cost

Sologenx automated systems help the industries reduce the production cost by substituting automated machinery in place of human labor. These equipment run uniformly 24 × 7 providing excellent return on investment by saving salaries, workforce costs, pensions, employees cost and labor cost.

Improve product quality

As Industrial automation reduces human involvement, the possibility of human errors also gets eliminated which results in higher consistency and reproducibility along the manufacturing process in all stages right from inception of a product to an end product.

We help you control and monitor the industrial processes at all stages in order to produce a qualitative end product.

Higher efficiency and throughput

Industrial automation elevates efficiency and results in higher throughput with little to no downtime, and minimal to no operator training required.

Improved Speed to Market Demand

Industrial automation reduces product lead times keeping production in-house instead of outsourcing providing efficient production.

Better Safety

Industrial automation increases the level of safety by replacing them with automated machines in hazardous working conditions and other extreme environments. Thus preventing accidents and injuries to the workers.

To reduce routine checks

Industrial Automation reduces the need for manual checking of machines as it automatically adjusts process variables to set or desired values using closed loop control systems.

Assist Remote Monitoring

Sologenx helps provide a communication link between the process area and supervising area which allows operators to control and monitor the industrial processes from a remote location.

Fixed Automation System

The Fixed Automation System performs fixed and repetitive operations in order to achieve high production and throughput rates.

Examples of fixed automation are assembly lines in the automotive industry, continuous flow processes like conveyors and mass production systems.

Programmable Automation System

Programmable automation system is best for batches of products where the instructions for the automated system change over time depending on the product being manufactured. It allows the control program to be reprogrammed for each batch using the given specifications and the necessary processing tasks and sequencing.

Programmable automation is usually used in batch process production. Examples are numerically controlled machines, paper mills, steel rolling mills, industrial robots, etc.

Flexible Automation System

Flexible automation systems controlled by computers are implemented where the product varies frequently. It has flexibility for making changes in the product design using the control system and eliminating the time required to reconfigure the equipment in between batches.

It allows the manufacturers to produce multiple products with different ranges as a combined combination process rather than separate. CNC machines are an example of flexible automation.

Integrated Automation System

An Integrated Automation System is a set of independent machines, processes and data working under the command of a single control system to implement an automation system of a production process.

CAD (Computer Aided Design), CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing), computer-controlled tools and machines, robots, cranes and conveyors are all integrated using complex scheduling and production control.

Information or Enterprise Level

This is the top level of the industrial automation process which manages the whole automation system which includes production planning, customer and market analysis, orders and sales, etc. It deals more with commercial activities and less with technical aspects.

It is present in all the levels of automation systems to provide continuous flow of information and can be different from one level to the other. Examples of these networks are RS485, CAN, DeviceNet, Foundation Field bus, Profibus, etc.

Supervisor Level

The supervisor level comprises an Industrial PC which runs on standard operating systems using a special software provided by the supplier for industrial process control.

The main purpose of the software is process visualization and parameterization using industrial ethernet for communication through Gigabit LAN or any wireless topology (WLAN).

The automatic devices at this level help in facilitating the controlling and intervening functions like Human Machine Interface (HMI), supervising various parameters, setting production targets, machine start and shutdown, etc.

Mostly, either Distribution Control System (DCS) or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) HMIs are popularly used in this level.

Control Level

The Control Level comprises various automation devices like CNC machines, Programmable Logic Controllers etc. providing real-time computing capability. These devices help acquire the process parameters from various sensors using processed sensor signals and program or control techniques.

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are most widely used industrial controllers capable of delivering automatic control functions based on input from sensors. It consists of various modules like CPU, analog I/O, digital I/O and communication modules. It allows the operator to program a control function or strategy to perform certain automatic operation on process.

Field Level

Field Level is the lowest level of the automation which includes the field devices like sensors and actuators which help transfer the data of processes and machines to the next higher level for monitoring and analysis.

These Sensors convert the real time parameters like temperature, pressure, flow, level, etc into electrical signals as they transfer the data to the controller to monitor and analyze the real time parameters. Examples are thermocouple, proximity sensors, RTDs, flow meters, etc.

While actuators convert the electrical signals (from the controllers) into mechanical means to control the processes. Examples include Flow control valves, solenoid valves, pneumatic actuators, relays, DC motors and servo motors.
