Food & Beverage
Integrating new automation solutions for new products or updating equipment and processes in the food and beverage industry is easy with our automated and PLC solutions for your bottling, manufacturing, skid packaging or sorting operations. Our work with mass-production food and beverage brands ensures that our packaging, shipping, conveyor, and skid wrapper systems are cutting edge and paving the way in the industry when it comes to productivity and efficiency.
Automotive
With new vehicles and environmentally friendly models being released, many automotive plants are integrating new shops for painting, welding, and more into their operations and production. CSI develops custom PLC/electrical control systems for your automotive manufacturing process needs, manages and assists in the implementation of the solutions, and ensures all compliance, regulatory, and safety needs are met in the process.
Oil & Gas
Safety is of the utmost importance when working with oil and gas or other combustive mediums. CSI has created intrinsically safe electrical control systems and equipment, explosion-proof equipment, and modified industrial fuel filling/dispensing lines. We’ve also created abatement systems for cleaning contaminated air and water before it returns to natural waterways.
Water & Wastewater Treatment
When working with water and wastewater treatment, CSI considers several different factors in the systems that we create. Whether weather conditions are determined to manage appropriate water transference, or wireless or telemetry communications are implemented into far away treatment plants, we develop appropriate adaptations to current systems or build new systems where required.
Power Generation
CSI has developed PLC-based electrical control and monitoring systems for various companies that produce and generate electrical power for the grid. Some of the various systems included boiler controls, with instrumentation data points such as temperature, flow, and pressure.
Warehousing & Distribution
Mass distribution centres often deal with complex inventory management systems and programs to move specific products to specific places. We manage ASRS systems and cranes, tying them in with complex recipe management systems, and program PLC, robot, and automation systems to make your system work smoothly and efficiently, maximizing productivity. Our work in developing banders and wrappers in the packaging industry also assists in large-scale warehouses and distribution centres.
Our Commissioning Process
Whether we are working on a system we designed or commissioning a project for a new client, Control Systems International follows a consistent commissioning process to ensure your system is working effectively.
Before turning the power on to a “new” electrical panel for the first time we first check the switches in the control panel to ensure that there’s no possibility of short-circuiting that can damage your equipment. Once we are sure it is safe, we then turn the power on.
We follow a process checklist to make sure your system is powered on in a safe and effective way:
- Turn off every breaker, and work in sections to turn on the power. This ensures that everything is connected properly and that if a problem occurs it will be isolated.
- Check the networks to make sure they are working and connecting to the appropriate systems.
- Verify electrical safety systems to guarantee employee safety when the system goes live.
- Complete an input and output (IO) functional checkout. We make sure every wired device is connected to the system and functioning correctly during our IO checkout phase.
- Confirm the IO check out and verify the machine’s manual functions. For example, when working with a conveyor system we ensure it can run, jog forward, and jog in reverse, and that all manual controls work. This includes verifying that the manual operations connect to the user interfaces.
- Verify the diagnostics and start auto cycling the system. The machine should start to move and complete its cycle properly.
- Check the cycle times of the system and whether it is working to the appropriate parameters. CSI systems work so that they can be powered down, stopped, shut down, and start again easily without having to be set to a certain configuration.
- Train plant personnel and provide documentation. We complete production support with your team to guarantee your system can be maintained and sustained.
