WATER AND WASTE WATER

Over the last few years there has been increasing focus on water and waste water treatment facilities and their impact on the environment. Automated control systems play an important role in keeping plants operating efficiently and complying with regulations. eCAD can help you achieve compliance and efficiency.

Automated aquaculture tanks

AQUACULTURE

Automation of aquaculture systems is increasingly essential to improve environmental control, to reduce stock losses and to improve quality. Installing a fully automated eCAD system with continuous monitoring will ensure your systems operate effectively.

HORTICULTURE & AGRICULTURE

With fresh water sources under strain and cost of labour significant, efficient irrigation is essential in horticultural and agricultural operations. Automated control systems help grower and farmers access real time information from irrigation systems, allowing for maximum efficiency and savings on water and chemicals.

Automated canning machinery

MANUFACTURING

Automation is already popular in manufacturing. Having automated processes and machines leaves operators free to focus on high-level tasks and improved efficiency while the repetitive manual labour is left to the machine.

TAILORED SOLUTIONS

eCAD can create tailored, one-off automated control solutions for your operation no matter what industry you're in. Talk to us to find out more about what we've already created and what we can do for your industry.

SERVICES

There are many questions that need answering when designing an interface. The better the transfer of data from the interface to the operator, the faster problem and process analysis can be carried out.

Navigation and alarms management, along with historical services provide the complete package for user interface. Matching this to our PLC programming skills provides a seamless match for two quite separate disciplines.

Understanding the performance and limitations of the hardware and utilising the tools provided has come from many years of actual field programming. We have a proven track record of not only satisfying, but often exceeding the programming requirements of clients.

eCAD’s priority is a fast, efficient and cost effective support structure. To achieve this we encourage remote access into sites to assist with fault diagnosis, repair and programming modification.

ABOUT

Optimised control systems

With increasing focus on the impact our manufacturing, farming and water processes have on the environment, ensuring control systems are efficient and reliable is more important than ever. eCAD has built a nationwide and international reputation for high standards and quality workmanship in control automation, resulting in a business based on referrals and repeat customers.

By integrating system data from across entire plants, eCAD's control systems provide clients with user interfaces such as SCADA and HMI for comprehensive views of their plant. This allows operators to respond to changing conditions, improving both safety and efficiency.

Extensive industry experience

With over 20 years in the industry we have invaluable experience in automation architecture and platform design, PLC / SCADA programming and configuration, HMI development, electrical design and fault-finding and telemetry - as well as onsite commissioning and project management.
