Case Studies
Formac Electronics has successfully deployed and supported a custom iBit™ solution to the following clients. BRITISH GYPSUM PLANT, UK - Engineers at the British Gypsum Plant are required to maintain a network of 50 Allen Bradley PLCs networked to an RSLINX application server. Many of the PLCs are coupled to product weighing and mixing equipment which has to be regularly calibrated in order to maintain the company’s high quality standards. The existing weighing stations are not fitted with local displays so calibration with test loads is time consuming. Formac’s iBit Browser solution has increased efficiency considerably by harnessing Wi-Fi technology to provide a hand held PDA display and capture function. Calibration data captured by iBit Browser is saved on the application server.
Formac Electronics has successfully deployed and supported a custom TelGas™ solution to the following clients. To learn more about TelGas™, please visit www.telgas.co.uk UKAEA – HARWELL LAND RECLAMATION - Mowlem land reclamation on UKAEA’s Harwell site – Mowlem required a highly customised and reliable solution to monitor harmful gases during the removal of contaminated waste from the Harwell site. (view press release- http://www.ukaea.org.uk/news/2004/09_02_04.htm) TelGas provides a real time monitoring of 128 gas detectors whilst recording data continuously on a dual redundant server. Data is also streamed seamlessly onto live mimic displays at other remote Mowlem offices.GARDNER DENVER MONITORING AT ESSO CNG SITES - Esso operate a number of CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) filling stations for commercial vehicles in the UK . The containerised gas compressor systems manufactured, supplied and maintained by Gardner Denver, require constant monitoring. Gardner Denver required a monitoring system, which would integrate readily into their control system without effecting integrity. Formac’s TelGas solution has provided a seamless real-time monitoring solution resulting in a management tool that enables Gardner Denver to enhance their service and support operations. TelGas also provides the engineering design team with powerful data analysis tools with which to enhance their products’ reliability and performance. SILVER DOLLAR CITY THEME PARK, USA - Crowcon have a legacy gas monitoring network at the Silver Dollar City theme park in Missouri , USA . The requirement for an additional Vortex unit meant that the existing software and application server could not be used. Formac’s integration team have supplied the client with a highly optimised solution utilising the existing hardware and adding remote server maintenance.
