Automation & Integration

We are your industrial controls idea partner. If you have an idea, we can make it happen. Are you changing or upgrading your automation and controls process? We can add new control panel programming or improve existing software to keep you competitive.

If you’re considering upgrading your industrial processes, our automation and integration team, backed by their extensive multi-industry experience, can offer insights and enhancements to significantly improve your operations. Partner with us to achieve your business goals through our custom-tailored solutions.

Is your control equipment not working correctly? We offer program review services to determine where problems exist in your current industrial control systems.

• Block formatted control panel programming for multi-use ladder segments.
  • Our PLC programming is organized into structured, reusable ladder logic blocks. This approach enhances modularity, readability, and efficiency, making managing, maintaining, and scaling your control and automation systems easier.
• Clean HMI screen design.
  • Tools and features on the control panel touchscreen are created with the equipment operator and maintenance staff in mind.
• Equipment lifecycle and event timing.
  • We ensure your automated production equipment tells you when to perform preventive maintenance, replace parts, and change operations.
• Event notification.
  • We can transmit information from your machine to your team. This enhances preventive maintenance procedures and alerts your team to check on your systems.
• Intuitive fault recovery.
  • One of the costliest problems in today’s industry is poorly defined faults. We solve that problem by creating a fault screen for each occurrence that walks the control equipment operator through the issue. All functions to resolve that fault live on a single screen.
• Component calibration tools. Most programs use timing to perform functions. When control parts are changed, the timing changes as well. This can create conditions that negatively affect operations. Calibration programming lets you replace a part, calibrate new values to the program, and be back up and running quickly.

Self-diagnostic Programming (Smart programming)

KMC Global Controls and Automation provides proactive, intelligent self-diagnostic programming to enhance and improve your facility’s operational performance.

Benefits of KMC Global Self-diagnostic PLC Programming

1. Early Detection of Issues:

• Continuous Monitoring: KMC Controls and Automation provides self-diagnostic programming that tracks the status and performance of your control panel parts.
• Error Detection: It can detect anomalies, malfunctions, or deviations from normal operating parameters early, allowing prompt intervention.

2. Reduced Downtime:

• Predictive Maintenance: This reduces unexpected downtime and ensures maintenance can be scheduled conveniently.
• Fast Troubleshooting: Diagnostic information pinpoints the exact location and nature of a problem, significantly speeding up the troubleshooting process.

3. Enhanced Safety:

• Real-time Alerts: Our systems can generate real-time alerts for critical issues, helping prevent accidents or equipment damage.
• Automated Shutdown: In severe faults, the control panel can automatically shut down specific operations to prevent hazardous situations.

4. Improved Efficiency:

• Ideal Performance: Our self-diagnostics ensure all control panel parts operate within optimal parameters, enhancing the system’s overall efficiency.
• Energy Savings: Our self-diagnostic programming contributes to energy savings by maintaining ideal operation and promptly addressing inefficiencies.

5. Data Logging and Analysis:

• Historical Data: Our systems system can log diagnostic data over time, providing valuable insights into the control panel’s performance and reliability.
• Trend Analysis: Analyzing this data can help identify patterns and trends, leading to further optimization of the control processes.

6. User-friendly Maintenance and Service:

• Diagnostic Interfaces: Our advanced PLC programming services include user-friendly interfaces that display diagnostic information and are accessible, making it easier for technicians to understand and quickly react to problems.
