Automation at DV Group

 Industrial Automation Project – from design to integration

 

Whether a process retrofit or a new works project, our structured “project” organisation involves several phases that are each subject to a validation milestone:

 

  • Project launch and organisational phase
  • Functional specifications phase
  • Design and programming phase
  • Platform test phase
  • On-site integration phase
  • Commissioning phase

 

At the start of the project, we first define the organisation that is both necessary and sufficient to meet the requirements of the project. After this, a project manager is appointed to act as your preferred contact dealing with both technical and a commercial aspects. This manager shall ensure that the project is carried out in accordance with the technical, time, quality and budgetary objectives. He/she will be responsible for the progress of the project, managing any modifications if necessary and will remain at your disposal for any problems during the course of the project.

Case study :

FPT

Need / Context

The machining centre is equipped with an obsolete 840C digital control system. - High failure rate, tedious and costly troubleshooting. - No spare parts.

Solutions

- Implementation of a solution based on the 840DSL digital control with conservation of existing drives and motors (611A and 1FT5).

Results

- Sustainability of the machining centre. - Competence of maintenance staff for this machine. - Easy troubleshooting thanks to the specific documentation developed. - Parts available and in stock. - Economic gain in relation to the machine manufacturer. - Optimisation of machining times.

Vallourec

Need / Context

_ Ageing components of the analogue controls of a hot rolling mill. _ Need to be able to change the power block in less than one hour. _ Replacement of the DC rectifiers of the cages.

Solutions

_Production of rackable power blocks. _Integration of these power blocks with a DC Simoreg CM controller with a Profibus DP communication network. _"Customized" assembly with scaling of direct and reverse power bridges depending on the actual application, and of the tables depending on the available space. _Use of standard components that are easily accessible on the power electronics market.

Results

- Obsolescence management. - Components available on the market. - Standard, economical products, which are easy to maintain.
