Industrial automation, New Zealand
CNC and PLC projects, upgrades and retrofits
We modernise and look after the machines New Zealand industry depends on: retrofits, PLC upgrades, service, SCADA, machine monitoring and robotic machine tending.
- Machine
- Vertical machining centre
- Problem
- Control obsolete, spares hard to find
- Scope
- New CNC control, servo drives, PLC and HMI
- Plan
- Built ahead, installed over a planned shutdown
- After
- Current parts, backups and support
What we do
Keep good machines productive for years longer
A sound machine with an ageing control rarely needs replacing. We upgrade what is failing, keep it serviced, and connect it so you can see how it is running.
CNC retrofits and upgrades
New control, drives and motors on a sound machine, instead of a new machine.
MorePLC projects and upgrades
New control systems, and migration from obsolete PLCs and HMIs before they fail.
MoreService and repairs
Breakdowns, fault finding, backups and planned maintenance on CNC and PLC systems.
MoreSCADA and visualisation
One view of the plant: screens, alarms, trends and production data.
MoreMachine monitoring
Every machine's state, output and stops live, with email alerts, through Kealink.
MoreRobotic machine tending
A robot loads and unloads your CNC machines, so they keep cutting through breaks and after hours.
MoreBrands we work with
Siemens, Fanuc, Allen-Bradley and more
Retrofits, programming, repairs and parts on the major control and drive brands found in New Zealand plants. Not on the list? Ask anyway.
We are an independent company, not an authorised distributor or representative of these manufacturers. All brand names and logos belong to their owners.
How a project runs
Planned around your production, not ours
- 1
Site visit
We look at the machine or the line, what it does now, and what you need it to do.
- 2
Fixed-scope quote
What we will do, what it costs, how long the machine is down, in writing.
- 3
Build and install
Prepared ahead, installed in a planned window to keep downtime short.
- 4
Commission and support
Tested, documented, backed up, and handed over to your team, with support after.
Machine monitoring
See every machine live, from anywhere
We fit a gateway beside your PLCs and connect it to Kealink, the monitoring platform we built with Salix. Your team sees what each machine is doing, how much it has made and why it stopped, and gets an email when something needs attention.
- Running, idle and down, with the reason for every stop
- Part counts, OEE and shift reports
- Alarms by email the moment a limit is crossed
- Your own branded portal, on phone and desktop
Parts
