Line Evaluation

You need a clear way forward for a line's controls, or a plan to put in front of the people who approve the money. A Line Evaluation is a controls assessment of one line: we survey it and give you a phased roadmap.

What we look at

Lifecycle: where every PLC, drive and screen sits in its maker's lifecycle, and whether you can source a replacement when one fails.Every device on the line
Backups: whether the PLC programs and screen designs can be recovered if the hardware fails.Every program
Networks: what each device talks on and how the line's areas pass information. The network usually decides the upgrade path. We have worked on every generation, from DH+, DeviceNet, ControlNet, Modbus and CANbus to EtherNet/IP, on Allen-Bradley and other brands.Drawn as a network diagram
Screens: whether operators and maintenance get the fault and status information they need to troubleshoot.Every HMI
How the line runs: how areas start, stop and pass work along, how much depends on a few experienced people, and what current hardware would automate, such as downtime that logs itself.Listed with the findings

What you get

A written report: what is installed, the risks it carries, and the opportunities current hardware opens up, such as faster fault-finding and downtime that logs itself. An accurate I/O and device list for the line. A modernization proposal: a phased plan timed to your shutdown windows, with a budgetary price for each phase. Engineering is done while the line runs.

Behind the engineer who comes

The engineer who evaluates your line will look at what you have today. Behind them are the controls engineers, electricians and panel shop that rebuild and upgrade plants and vessels across the Pacific Northwest. If the job needs another trade, we will send them.
