Projects
At MKO Automation, we are proud of our successful collaborations with clients from diverse industries. Our expertise enables us to integrate PLCs, HMIs, IoT, and SCADA systems effortlessly, facilitating digital transformation in your factory. Together, we boost efficiency and optimize operations, ensuring that your facility remains at the cutting of innovation.
Energy monitoring
Energy monitoring initiative for a major industrial gelatine producer. This project involved a Siemens S7-1500 PLC paired with a TP-1200 HMI, along with remote I/O utilizing ET200sp and Modbus connectivity. Additionally, we implemented a 7-day historical data window and an automated graphical interface for data visualization.
A18 Effluent pumping station
The project aimed to upgrade the current S7-300 PLC to an S7-1200, accompanied by an MTP-700 HMI. This upgrade involved the implementation of automated valves and priming functions, leveraging IO-Link technology to enhance the overall system and minimize maintenance efforts. Additionally, we installed smart server remote connectivity for efficient remote maintenance and operations.
Ignition SCADA system
The objective of the project was to upgrade the current WinCC SCADA system to the Ignition platform. This involved over 45 PLC connections, 6 client interfaces, and 30,000 tags. This was a large-scale that took place over several months to facilitate a seamless transition between the two systems.
Filtration
The project involved the installation of a new S7-1500 PLC, an ET200SP remote IO panel, and new instrumentation to oversee and manage a filtration process. A considerable amount of advanced data was utilized to calculate the product's mass flow and provide feedback to the SCADA system, which was fully automated for the process engineers.
M3 Line control system upgrade
A worldwide logistics company approached us to upgrade their legacy relay‑logic control panel. We engineered a bespoke solution featuring a Siemens S7‑1200 PLC and MTP400 HMI, giving them a modern, intelligent control system for their hydraulic cutter. The new platform ensures highly repeatable cutting accuracy for aluminium extrusion production, while improving reliability, safety, and long‑term maintainability.
DC to AC drive upgrade
The project focused on upgrading a DC drive to an AC drive to enhance reliability and minimize cycle time. By transitioning a belt and pulley system to a direct drive with a gearbox, we've significantly improved the machine's efficiency. The upgrade not only streamlines operations, but also ensures consistent performance and reduced maintenance needs. The result is a more robust system that meets modern manufacturing demands.
Grow Your Vision
At MKO Automation, we are committed transforming your application vision into reality. The example video below features a real project that demonstrates the smooth integration of two distinct plant components working together. These PLCs are located over 600m apart in separate areas yet they communicate seamlessly through S7 connections and a smart server connection for the HMI. We offer a complete and scalable solution to address your engineering challenges.
