Scope of work
- PLC programming for auxiliary systems and deck machinery
- HMI screen design with clear hierarchy and useful diagnostics
- SCADA for central engine-room monitoring and data history
- Replacement of relay logic with PLC control on older installations
- Interfacing to AMS, PMS and third-party systems
- Data logging and trending for performance analysis and preventive maintenance
- I/O verification, loop checking and functional testing
- Documentation: functional description, I/O list, drawings, backups
Typical symptoms & failures
- A PLC with no available program or backup — no change is possible
- Screens showing machinery that no longer exists
- Logic written without comments, with variables named M0.3
- A system that hangs and recovers only on a power cycle
- No data logging at all — every incident analysis starts from zero
What you receive
- Commented PLC program and HMI project files
- Functional description and I/O list
- Loop-check and functional-test protocol
- Crew training on operation and diagnostics
Equipment & protocols
- Siemens SIMATIC S7 and LOGO!, Schneider, Omron, Mitsubishi
- Marine-specification industrial HMIs and panel PCs
- SCADA platforms with historian and alarming
- Modbus RTU/TCP, Profibus, CANopen, Ethernet/IP
Frequently asked questions
Can you take on a system with no documentation?
Yes. We start by reverse-engineering the logic and the wiring. It takes time, but it is the only safe basis for any change.
Does a mid-size vessel need SCADA?
Not always. A well-designed HMI with data logging often covers the need at far lower cost and complexity.
What about support after handover?
You get complete documentation and backups, so a third party can also intervene. We stay available for support without being a precondition.
