PARTIAL LIST OF AUTOMATION PROJECTS COMPLETED

Kelloggs of Guatemala
Guatemala City, Central America
Cereal Cookers Control System

Conceptual design, detail, design, Software Implementation, panel fabrication and Installation Supervision for the automation of two corn cookers with production capacities of 2,000 Kg per 2 hour cycle. (This process had been made by hand.)

Superbrands Dairy, Winn Dixie Supermarkets
Miami, FL
Refrigeration Control System for Dairy Products

Implementation and Software Design for the existing Progammable Logic Controller, to maintain proper levels of refrigeration within FDA requirements for milk storage.

Sun International, Nassau Bahamas
Hotel Atlantis, phase II, Water Features

Redesign the automation for the pump system of the largest aquarium in the world (Open loop), Panel Fabrication, Software Implementation, SCADA system and Installation Supervision and Startup.

This system controls all ocean water coming into the facility and circulates it through various areas of the resort i.e. shark tank areas, water falls.

We also control "On-Off" times for all pools and there are wind sensing detection to lower waterfalls and fountains to prevent wetting the customers.

The system alarms automatically to the maintenance personnel in case of minor and major emergencies.

Montenay Power Co.,
Miami, FL
Resource and Recovery

Concept Design, Detail Design, Installation and Control Panel Fabrication for No. 3 Shredder Mill to the existing Plant's capacity. (Motor capacity is 4,000 HP at 4,160VAC)

Implementation of the PLC for the "Fuel Feed System" and the interconnection to the Motor Control Center.

Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)
Miami, FL
Bridge Supervision

Concept Design, Detail Design, Control Panel Fabrication, Field Installation and modifications and Start up for a complete SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system. This system was intended to monitor multiple movable bridges from a central location. Each bridge (7) sends its data on a dedicated phone line to a main computer. The system also serves as a watchdog during manual operation to assure that operators do not open the bridge out of sequence, placing in danger land traffic, pedestrian as well as marine traffic. The system also provides maintenance information, historic trend etc. In May 2000, FDOT has award us other contracts now in progress.

Atlantic Bouquet Company, Inc.
Miami, FL

Conceptual Design, Detail Design and Engineering for an Automatic Production Machine for the bouquet of flowers. In this system we were only responsible for the automation and controls of the equipment. The machine is capable of tracking all bouquets made in 12 different stations with two people per station and also keeps track of the sizes and rates of each station. This is done per individual basis, per side (East or West) or default to the entire line. This machine was built by Atlantic Bouquet Comany, Inc.

Coca Cola Bottling Co.
Phoenix, Arizona
pH Neutralization to meet EPA standards

Conceptual Design, Detail Design and Panel Fabrication for a system responsible to regulate the pH and flow of all the discharge waters after a CIP (Clean In Place) is done during the change over to fill a different product (i.e. Coke, Orange sode, etc.). Strict control were required to as how much flow per min. Was allowed and a pH level between 6.0 and 8.5.

Rite Way Pipe Mill
Miami, FL

Rewiring and redesign for all the controls for a Pipe Mill. This equipment was existing with very antique controls and is been revamp with state of the art controls, DC Drive Four Quadrant regenative type, Servo control for online cutting, Induction Welding as pipe is been rolled and formed. Using Hi Voltage (10,000 VAC) at 400 KHz. Full automation with Allen Bradley PLC and HMI interface to an industrial PC station with touch screen controls. Software been used is the RSView 32 by Allen Bradley.

PARTIAL LIST OF LARGE AUTOMATION PROJECTS IN PROGRESS OR BEEN CONSIDERED

PDVSA (Petroleos De Venezuela S.A.)(Project in progress)
Maracaibo, Venezuela

Conceptual Design, Detail Design, Engineering and panel Fabrication for a system responsible to prevent the flooding of five(5) cities in the oriental coast of the Maracaibo Lake. These towns are basically the oil producers of the area and for eighty one (81) years of pumping the oil out has caused the sinking of these cities. Pumping stations were build around it to prevent the flooding to the area. The system does not work properly, our job is to design and implement a system with radio telemetry (UHF and Microwave) interfaced with PC, PLC and software (SCADA) to automatically control and keep the waters from rising above the pit where the pumps are located. These work involves motors rated 350 to 650 HP at 2,300VAC driven with Hi Voltage VFD's. We are doing this project as a turnkey operation.

Florida Department of Transportation
Jacksonville, FL (FDOT)
Bridge Supervision (Project Awarded May 2000)

Concept Design, Detail Design, Control Panel Fabrication, Field Installation and modifications and Start up for a complete SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition.) system. This system was intended to monitor multiple movable bridges from a central location. Each bridge(7) sends its data on a dedicated phone line to a main computer. The system also serves as a watchdog during manual operation to assure that operators do not open the bridge out of sequence, placing in danger land traffic, pedestrian as well as marine traffic. The system also provides maintenance information, historic trend etc. In this new one we will be implementing "REAL TIME VIDEO SURVEILLANCE".
