Improving efficiency and safety with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are used by businesses around the world to automate their manufacturing processes to ensure accuracy, consistency and improved efficiency and safety. PLCs were originally developed in the late 1960s by the US automotive industry to replace relay logic systems. These systems were difficult to update or alter the automation process due to […]

KEEPING YOUR GENERATOR IN TOP NOTCH CONDITION

In the event of a power outage, a generator is essential to keeping your your facility running. However, to ensure you have a truly reliable backup power system your generator must be regularly maintained so it is ready to operate when you need it. By implementing an electrical preventative maintenance plan for your generator, you […]

Ammonia Detectors – Keeping your people & plant safe

Ammonia is widely utilised in industrial processes and refrigeration systems due to its cost-effectiveness and energy efficiency. It also boasts an environmentally friendly profile with an Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of 0 and a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 0, making it a popular choice for industrial refrigeration. While there are significant benefits to using ammonia, […]

Thermal Imaging Checks

One of the tricky things about electrical systems is that you often can’t see faults without taking things apart. Thermal imaging or thermography is a non-intrusive, non-contact method of detecting electrical faults that are hidden to the naked eye.  During a thermal imaging survey, we use our specialised camera to capture images of the heat […]

Protecting your essential equipment with an uninterruptable power supply (UPS)

An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) provides emergency power when the power source or mains power fails. A UPS differs from an emergency power system or standby generator in that it provides near instantaneous protection from power interruptions by supplying energy stored in batteries, supercapacitors or flywheels. The on-battery run time of most UPS is generally […]
