Industrial controls are devices which when programmed are used to automate industrial processes. In manufacturing, an industrial control system is used to describe an integration of software and hardware with enabled network connectivity in order to support critical infrastructure in the production process.
They typically interface between sensors and electrical and or mechanical equipment. At the core of industrial control systems are Programmable Logic Controllers(PLC), other technologies include Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Distributed Control Systems (DCS), Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), Intelligent Electrical Devices, Control Serves Sensors, HMIs, Electrical devices i.e Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) etc.
Applications of Industrial Control systems are commonly found in Manufacturing, Power Plants, Water and Waste Water Treatment, Transport and Cargo Handling, and Oil and Gas.
We upskill, develop graduates, and equip trainers with industrial automation skills for effective curriculum integration and industry readiness.
The Viscar Industrial Technical Support Centre seeks to support our clients in enhancing their equipment availability and reliability resulting in optimal performance and productivity of the plant. We know that as a manufacturer you cannot afford downtime caused by equipment failure, the loss of a single piece of equipment can halt production and lead to product loss, not to mention a loss of revenue.
We deliver this through value-based equipment maintenance and repairs, plant upgrades through automation, new automation projects design, installations and commissioning, supply of equipment and machine parts and skills transfer.
The services we offer are:
This involves diagnosis, troubleshooting and repair of industrial equipment and components faults
These projects cut across all sectors and in all areas of automation (PLCs, hydraulics, Pneumatics, SCADA, HVAC systems among others). The following are some of the projects will include:
