In 2017, MANUFACTURAS CEYLAN implemented the “PLC and SCADA Implementation and Startup Project” within the IVACE “SME Digitalization Projects 2016” Aid Program, receiving a grant of €8,090.07.

The project consisted of installing a SCADA system for production control and incorporating PLC computers for the automation and control of mixing machines, granulators, and grease reactors. The objective of the SCADA system was to provide process information to operators, supervisors, maintenance personnel, and others. The PLC installation aimed to resolve machine sequencing issues, save maintenance costs, streamline electricity consumption, and more, all while communicating via a network with the SCADA.

The project is complete. The SCADA system and PLCs are already operational, having achieved the expected results. Among other things, we highlight: we have obtained information on the machines’ operating data, we have been able to detect and resolve anomalies, we have obtained the necessary data for product traceability, we have automated the machine start-up and shutdown sequences, and we have simplified the work of the operators.
