  • Lack of a unified programming standard in the factory
Client:

Problematics and Inquiry:
  • Lack of ability to upgrade the existing system, the inability of the existing system to work on Windows 10 - this system was a stopper in the project of migration to Windows 10
  • Lack of a single SCADA standard at the plant
  • Availability of different types of PLCs in the plant
Tools:
  • Rockwell automation
  • KepWare
Economic effects:
