Automation and instrumentation

PLC, SCADA, sensors and monitoring: the part Vanguard owns in house.

Back to services

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

Supervision of an existing plant

Takeover of the control system of an ageing installation, without stopping production.

Instrumentation upgrade

Flow, pressure and quality sensors installed and connected, with data logging.

Continuous water quality monitoring

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.
