Solidmesh - Industrial Automation
Automation's Textile Factory Revitalisation
Automation successfully modernized two aging textile machines for a leading South African textile factory. The factory, which operates a complete textile manufacturing process from raw cotton to finished garments, faced challenges due to the obsolescence of electronic control cards in their older equipment.
To address these issues, Solidmesh Automation implemented a comprehensive upgrade solution. The project involved replacing the outdated control systems with modern Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs). These state-of-the-art technologies provided enhanced control, monitoring, and troubleshooting capabilities.
Key achievements of the project:
Restored Machine Functionality:
Solidmesh Automation’s upgrade ensured that the two critical machines continued to operate efficiently, supporting the factory’s production goals.
Improved Reliability and Performance:
The new control systems offered enhanced reliability, reducing downtime and improving overall machine performance.
Enhanced Control and Monitoring:
The HMIs provided intuitive interfaces for operators, enabling easier control and real-time monitoring of machine processes.
Future-Proofed Technology:
The modernized machines are now equipped with up-to-date technology, ensuring their continued operation and compatibility with future advancements.
Automation's involvement in a Dewatering Solution for DRC Mine
Automation successfully implemented an advanced control system for a copper mine. A comprehensive, multi-million USD de-watering solution for a large open pit copper mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) was needed to reduce the risk of flooding the pit.
