1) Measurement and Control Design

• Decide what to measure, where to place it, and why it matters for control
• Define ranges, sampling, calibration, and acceptance checks
• Tie each measurement to a control intent such as setpoint trim, interlock, or pass or hold

2) Automation Logic and HMI

• Specify simple, robust control rules that operators can run
• Implement setpoints, interlocks, recipe steps, and alarm thresholds
• Update HMIs with clear states and actions so decisions are consistent

3) Focused Integration of Signals

• Connect instruments to PLC or edge hardware
• Route signals into SCADA, MES, LIMS, historians, or cloud as required
• Use standard interfaces such as OPC UA, MQTT, and REST, configure tags and basic dashboards where decisions are made

4) Activation on the Line

• Run first batches with your team, validate rules and thresholds, document the method
• Provide checklists, roles, and shift handover notes so the practice sticks
• Capture before and after metrics for yield, rework, cycle time, and coat weight stability

5) Sustain and Scale

• Set data quality and change control routines
• Create a simple replication kit so the same method works on the next line or site
• Prepare foundations for analytics and AI once the process is stable

Where we work
Architectural and industrial coatings, refinish operations, materials and additive suppliers, battery electrode lines for slurry, coating, drying, and calendaring.

How we engage

• Design and Planning Session: define measurements, control rules, and operator workflow for the target process
• Activation Sprint: connect priority signals, implement logic and HMI updates, and put the method into daily use
  Ongoing guidance is available. Larger rollouts can run with your internal teams or trusted partners while we provide the pattern and guardrails.

What you gain
The right instruments in the right places, control logic that holds quality at speed, clean signal flow into your infrastructure, faster and repeatable decisions, and a durable base for analytics and AI without heavy new platforms.

If this matches your current goals, ask for the two-page scope and two date options. We will confirm fit and reserve a slot.
