SCADA automation

Splinter classification and transport system

 

 

Decuna implemented a system to transport and classify splinter of wood for a board manufacturer.

A custom SCADA monitorizes the plant with all its elements. The PLC automation was done on an Allen Bradley platform.

This project opened the door to some others in the same company (Teruel, Spain), that reused the work with slight configuration changes and small modifications.

 

Sector: 

Automated storage pallet with mobile carts.

An alternative to the transtocker (trasnporter, elevator), is a storage automated pallet with mobile carts. Its advantages are the ability to load unload and operations on the storage area on a simultaneous way. With this approach, you can store a great production timing and at the same time unload materials with great speed and efficiency.

Solar plant control software dec-solar

 

dec-solar is the maintenance-free software control package for solar energy plants. dec-solar reports alarms and controls the plant. Relevant plant data are logged and represented in reports:

  • power produced (total / per inverter)
  • solar tracker position control
  • weather conditions at the plant
  • manual control of the solar trackers and calibration

The data can be presented in a web page or alternatively access can be granted via a secure terminal connection. The data can be stored locally or in a remote server. In case of too harsh weather conditions, dec-solar sets automatically the panels to safe position. 

Plant telecontrol and alarm management (SMS or e-mail) are both supported. dec-solar can easily be customized according to customer needs.

Automated storage system for an automotive seat supplier

Transtocker

 

Decuna worked together with a counterpart responsible for mechanics developing an automated storage system for an automotive seat supplier.

An automated storage and retrieval machine and a buffer for the products were automated.

The system saves an important amount of storage space and allows our customer to meet not only "Just in Time" requirements, but also "Just in Sequence" (delivering the sequence that the OEM is going to build in the production line).

Automatic storage of tuna fish and alike

Customer: Pesquerías Fernández Ibañez (Vigo)

Decuna developed an automatic system to classify and store different kinds of tuna according to species and weight for our client, located at Vigo's harbour.

The system sorts out the fish in a high rack storage area, saving fish container information and piece information in a database. The weight is measured dynamically, without stopping the line.

A PC is used to monitorize the system, whereas a PLC controls the actuators.

Biomass plant automation

Automatización de plantas de biomasa

Decuna has build over the years its own "know-how" as an independent plant automation supplier.

We are not tied to any equipment manufacturer, so our independence can be a key factor to achieve customization, service and cost savings.

As a sample off our services, Decuna can provide systems that monitorize:

  • Electrical consumption
  • Energy production
  • Plant automation and electrical equipment

Robotic Installation for automatic palletizing

Robot de paletizado automático

Decuna has developed a system that allows, on a completely automatic way, clasify and store all the client product references.

Having this goal in mind, 18 clasification lines were prepared (2 for rejected product, and the 16 left to feed the palletizing final system).

A codebar system with optical readers is being used to recognize and determine the nature of the product. Also, it makes a weight measure of every unit.

Four cells of automatic palletizing give a rate of 4000 boxes per hour.
