Industrial automation requires integrating different technologies within an architecture capable of responding to the needs of each process. From machine control to the comprehensive supervision of a facility, every project demands analyzing variables, equipment, communications, and operating conditions.

Equipel develops Industrial Automation and Control solutions by combining engineering, programming, and the integration of technologies such as PLC, HMI, SCADA, variable frequency drives, and industrial communication networks.

The goal is to address each project comprehensively, from defining the architecture and selecting components to the implementation, commissioning, and evolution of the systems.

Control and Protection Panels

Control and protection panels centralize different functions associated with the operation and supervision of processes and electrical installations.

Equipel designs and integrates these systems by considering component distribution, control circuits, protections, instrumentation, and the necessary interfaces to link field equipment with automation systems.

Integration can incorporate SCADA systems to visualize variables, alarms, trends, and operating events, facilitating both facility supervision and diagnostics.

The development of each panel also addresses aspects related to safety, maintenance, and accessibility to the different components that comprise the system.

PLC Control Systems

PLCs constitute one of the core elements of industrial automation, enabling the execution of the logic required to control machines, equipment, and processes.

Equipel develops control systems based on PLCs and HMI interfaces, integrating digital and analog signals, instrumentation, drives, and industrial communications within a single architecture.

Each solution is designed based on the needs of the process, aiming to centralize control and generate a platform prepared for operation, diagnostics, and future expansions.

System programming and configuration are complemented by the integration of the various equipment involved, allowing for coordinated communication between field devices and supervisory levels.

SCADA and Supervision

SCADA systems centralize information from different areas of a facility and transform it into an operational tool.

Through these platforms, it is possible to visualize process status, operating variables, alarms, histories, and trends, providing operators with an integrated view of the facility.

Equipel implements supervision systems adapted to each project, integrating information generated by PLCs, instruments, and other control devices.

This architecture improves information availability and provides tools for monitoring and analyzing the behavior of industrial processes.

System Modernization and Migration

Industrial automation also involves working on existing installations that need to update their technologies.

Equipel develops modernization and migration projects focused on renewing control and supervision systems, updating PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA, modernizing industrial networks, and integrating equipment from different technological generations.

These projects require a prior analysis of the installed architecture, existing interfaces, and production requirements to define an appropriate migration strategy.

The objective is to modernize the infrastructure while maintaining focus on operational continuity and preparing systems for new control, communication, and supervision needs.

Industry 4.0: Information for a More Connected Operation

The evolution of automation systems enables advancement toward increasingly connected architectures, where the information generated by processes can be used to better understand operations.

Technologies associated with Industry 4.0 allow the integration of information from machines, control systems, and supervisory platforms, facilitating access to production data and relevant operational variables.

This integration can incorporate technologies such as IoT and information management and analysis systems, connecting the different plant levels and generating a broader view of the processes.

From control panels and systems to the supervision and modernization of existing facilities, Equipel approaches industrial automation as a comprehensive solution, combining engineering, programming, and integration to support the needs of each process.
