Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between PLC and SCADA systems?

PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) are used for direct control of machinery and processes, while SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems provide monitoring and control of multiple PLCs across a facility. SCADA systems offer higher-level oversight and data collection.

How long does a typical system migration take?

Migration timelines vary based on system complexity, but typically range from 2-6 months. We design parallel operation periods to ensure zero production disruption. Smaller systems can be completed faster, while complex multi-site implementations may take longer.

What are the main benefits of upgrading legacy systems?

Key benefits include: improved reliability and reduced downtime, access to modern diagnostics and monitoring, better data accessibility, improved security, easier maintenance and support, and the ability to integrate with modern systems and IoT devices.

How do I know if my system needs upgrading?

Signs include: frequent breakdowns, difficulty finding spare parts, lack of data visibility, inability to meet production targets, security concerns, or systems over 15 years old. Contact us for a free assessment.

What support do you provide after implementation?

We offer comprehensive post-implementation support including staff training, documentation, troubleshooting, and ongoing maintenance. Support packages range from basic email support to 24/7 on-call availability.
