With accountability and traceability being of high importance in the production environment we have developed SCADA systems with bespoke reporting packages, SMS and/or email notification routines and set point change logging.

Using many vendor platforms we have the experience and skill to integrate most SCADA systems to existing control infrastructures.

SCADA Software:

• Rockwell, RS View 32
• CI Technologies, CiTect
• Intellution, Ifix 3.5
• Intellution MX2000
• Wonderware, Intouch
• Mitsubishi MX4

Tycon Automation Ltd not only have the technical expertise but importantly we have a vast experience of processes knowledge to be able to understand and interpret client requirements.

From the design of new plants and productions facilities through to the modification, asset replacement and breakdown scenarios, Tycon Automation Ltd offer the complete array of control system development and modification services.

Below are some of the platforms we have experience in integrating:

Here at Tycon Automation Ltd we have had many years of experience to overcome these difficulties. If it is full site access to allow drill down from SCADA, through the PLC to plant level devices or isolated remote sites that need remote access to the PLC for monitoring and process adjustment we have the expertise to fulfil your requirements.

We have completed remote access systems using the following technologies:

• PSTN Dial Up
• BT Leased Line
• GSM
• GPRS
• 3G
• Radio
• Web servers

We have excellent working relationships with the UK’s leading communication device manufacturers and with their range of products any remote access system is possible.

We have the experience to create secure LAN systems with multiple, secure access routes, thus ensuring all the required data is available, but only to the people with the required authority.

Key performance indicators (KPIs) help you to optimize your production process while Line Efficiency and Downtime information ensure you get the most from your production assets.

The gold mine of real-time information present in an MES provides a solid foundation for continuous improvement in your production efficiencies. The ability to monitor information across your entire plant through one system ensures that you can quickly identify and address problem areas.

More complex implementations provide an integrated link between your SAP system and your plant floor. Information stored in your MES can include an equipment model, product specifications, production orders, materials information, production execution rules and laboratory information.

This integrated information provides an ideal environment to monitor and manage your production processes.

Companies who implement and use an MES experience quantifiable changes in profitability, productivity and process performance.

• Reduced manufacturing cycle time by an average of 45%
• Reduced data entry time by 75% or more
• Reduced work in progress (WIP) by an average of 24%
• Reduced paperwork between shifts by an average of 61%
• Reduced lead time by an average of 27%
• Reduced paperwork and blueprint losses by an average of 56%
• Reduced product defects by an average of 18%
