Optima Controls Process Control capability has been the cornerstone of the Company capability for many years.
We have undertaken complex and challenging Process Control projects throughout the world for a range of prestigious Clients like Cadbury, Kraft Foods, Mondelez International, Marabou, Jacobs Douwe Egberts, Coca-Cola and others.
We are recognised by our Partner Companies as being first in our field. We have been at the forefront of defining and developing best practice with a variety of Engineering bodies including GAMP and ISA. Our work in Safety-Critical Systems in the Process Industries is now gaining recognition. We can apply our expertise at both a PLC/HMI level or in the DCS environment and have undertaken many projects in both platforms.
Our consultants can cover a range of Process related services to satisfy some of your most challenging requirements including:
- Plant Control Optimisation
- Process Simulation Modelling
- Control Systems Evaluation
Optima Controls is pre-eminent in the design and delivery of PLC/HMI based Control Systems. We have considerable experience spanning the industrial environment. Our process control engineers have experience with all the major PLC and HMI vendors and we have strategic partnerships with a number of leading vendors across the world.
Our applications range from high-speed packing and wrapping applications to wide-area data monitoring and acquisition, from continuous real-time process to validated S88 compliant batch installation.
Optima Controls integrate control systems from individual PLC applications to large-scale networks utilizing SCADA and DCS technologies for industrial processes including pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, power generation, heat treatment, nuclear and water treatment.
We developed and implemented many batch control systems for different process plants and CIP systems using our own S88 phase and state models (full or simplified) or using third-party pre-tested equipment modules.
We use various systems like Rockwell PlantPAx which enables quick response to the demands of the customer and fast-changing specifications or Siemens SES (sequential control for a recipe- and sequence-based processes).
Before implementation of the systems we prepare functional design specifications, create physical and procedural models and test documentation. After successful review phase with the customer and applying their comments, we then start the software development phase. We are flexible to apply changes and modification to the spec during the development of the specification changes. Testing phase follows the development. Finished systems get installed on-site and acceptance tests are performed. Fully tested and commissioned systems get further support (remote or site) if required. After systems handover training is provided to the operators and maintenance crew.
