Automation and instrumentation
PLC, SCADA, sensors and monitoring: the part Vanguard owns in house.
This is where Vanguard directly brings its own control engineering expertise. PLC programming, HMI and SCADA, instrumentation (flow, pressure, conductivity, level, temperature, quality), data acquisition, alarms, data logging, dashboards, energy optimisation and monitoring of your water installation. On a new project, automation is integrated from the design phase. On an existing installation, we take it over or upgrade it.
What we cover
- PLC programming: Siemens, Rockwell and other industrial standards
- HMI and SCADA: clear supervision for operators
- Instrumentation: flow, pressure, conductivity, level, temperature, quality
- Data acquisition: reliable measurements, transmitted and stored
- Alarms and data logging: deviations are seen, not guessed
- Dashboards: consumption, quality, performance at a glance
- Energy optimisation: tracking the installation's consumption
- Monitoring: continuous surveillance and remote access
Use cases
Takeover of the control system of an ageing installation, without stopping production.
Flow, pressure and quality sensors installed and connected, with data logging.
Conductivity, temperature, flow: your quality figures visible in real time.
Frequently asked questions
Do you automate installations built by others?+
Yes. Takeover or upgrade of control systems on existing installations, whatever the manufacturer.
Which PLCs do you program?+
Industrial standards, mainly Siemens and Rockwell. We adapt to your site's standard.
Can the installation be monitored remotely?+
Yes. Data logging, alarms and remote access are part of the monitoring offer.
Water Assessment
We start by measuring.
