The work
Built to go unnoticed.
Control systems run every shift from a cabinet on the plant floor. They sit behind everyday things, like the milk in the fridge and the stock on the shelves.
- Millions of litres of milk a day
- Processed at dairy plants we've worked on.
- Millions of pallets a year
- Moved on conveyor and pallet handling lines we've worked on.
- 15+ years in industry
- Electrical, automation and industrial software.
Dairy
Lactoferrin, separated from milk by chromatography.
Lactoferrin is a protein found in milk in small amounts. It is recovered by chromatography, with columns cycling through load, wash, elute and clean, and buffers made up to recipe. We've worked on the process control for multiple lactoferrin plants, across the columns, buffer make-up and clean-in-place (CIP).
Materials handling
Conveyors and pallet handling.
Sequencing between zones, transfers, photo-eyes and fault handling.
Scribe · In pilot
A historian for plant data, on site and in our secure cloud.
Scribe collects data from PLCs and other plant systems and keeps a local history, with trends, on an edge box on site. From there the data goes to the Process Link cloud, hosted in Australia, over encrypted MQTT.
Software
Software for plant operations.
A process historian, equipment logbooks, shift handovers, file storage, alerts and reports. Developed and supported in-house.
Founder
From the switchboard to the software.
Tom Sharwood started out as an electrician, then moved into PLC, SCADA and software development. 15+ years across Australian industry.
