Industrial Automation
Advanced automation systems that improve efficiency, safety and accuracy across industrial environments, from field devices to centralised control.
Overview
Control systems that keep production running
Techforce provides automation systems that improve operational efficiency, safety and accuracy across industrial environments. Whether you need to automate a single machine, modernise an ageing line or bring an entire plant under one control system, we start from how your plant actually works and design an architecture that fits, sized for today and ready to expand.
Our team delivers the complete scope in-house: electrical and control design, panel building, PLC and HMI programming, SCADA development, installation, testing and commissioning. We build on proven technology from global brands such as Rockwell Automation and Siemens, and document every system clearly so your maintenance team can run it with confidence.
Automation systems
From a single PLC to plant-wide SCADA
-
PLC, RTU & HMI-based systems
- Programmable logic controllers (PLC)
- High-speed, reliable control of automated processes, for discrete and process automation.
- Remote terminal units (RTU)
- Remote monitoring and control in distributed networks, linking field equipment to central systems.
- Human-machine interfaces (HMI)
- A real-time operator interface to see and interact with automated processes.
-
DCS-based systems
Distributed control systems manage and coordinate large-scale processes across multiple locations, with high reliability and centralised control. They suit complex manufacturing and process industries.
-
SCADA
Supervisory control and data acquisition: one central system for monitoring, data acquisition and control, with real-time insight, data analysis and remote control across distributed assets.
Applications
Where our control systems work
-
Process control
Precision control of complex, continuous processes for high efficiency and stability.
-
Advanced process control
Enhanced control strategies that optimise performance, reduce variability and improve output.
-
Terminal automation
Streamlined control of loading, unloading and storage operations in terminals.
-
Tank gauging
Accurate measurement and monitoring of tank levels for inventory management and safety.
-
Hot oil systems
Control and monitoring of hot oil circuits in heating applications, safely and efficiently.
Vision recognition
Inspection that catches faults in real time
High-precision inspection that uses image processing to automate identification, tracking and quality control on your production lines.
-
Step 1
Barcode scanning
Reads and decodes barcodes automatically for product identification, tracking and inventory.
-
Step 2
Camera-based detection
High-resolution cameras with image processing check orientation, colour and shape.
-
Step 3
Rejection system
Linked to the cameras, it removes defective or non-compliant products in real time.
