ATSYS successfully delivered the upgrade project to DBCT, introducing many benefits to the operation of the site, while overcoming the many challenges encountered throughout the project. Some of these benefits included:

  • Replacement of End-of-Life PLC Hardware, reducing communications drop-outs and spurious trips
  • Providing a higher level of diagnostics
  • PLC hardware which conforms with standards for machine safety
  • A new DLR Fibre Network to ensure redundancy and improve reliability of communications
