Count on the expertise of the ATS Automation Team for the software development within your automation projects. With our team of 60 software engineers, we have extensive expertise in various disciplines and different sectors and we always strive to develop an automation concept tailored to the needs of your company.
We also have many references in the areas of revamping, safety upgrades and digitalisation.
In addition, together with the other activities within the ATS Group, we can offer you numerous total solutions.
In the field of process automation, there are many references available in many different sectors. Hereby a selection of the many industries in which we have built up a lot of process knowledge over the years.
We start by analysing the processes that need to be automated. Thanks to the expertise and knowledge of different sectors, we offer the customer a solution that takes into account the specific needs of each industry.
Our goal is to achieve the highest possible production efficiency together with the customer.
Then we determine the automation concept. We do this in a brand-independent way and always in accordance with the customer's requirements.
All successful projects are the result of close cooperation with the customer in a form of co-creation. As a result, the final realisation is a complete match with the customer's needs.
By sharing knowledge, we create better technological solutions that provide customers with a sustainable, innovative and efficient production environment.
After approval of the automation concept, engineering is started.
Our application engineers ensure efficient software development based on advanced methods and systems.
Our teams in process and motion control constantly strive for the highest possible standardisation, which translates into libraries to which functionalities are constantly added. In this way, we ensure a continuous and correct follow-up and error analysis of the installations.
Finally, we move on to the realisation of the project.
Here, we take care of the complete follow-up, from engineering, software development, board construction, cabling, mechanical works to project delivery.
Even after delivery, you can count on a 24-hour service. Our helpdesk is at your disposal.
A PLC is an important component in automation. It can be directly connected to a machine or it can control several processes simultaneously.
A distributed topology is often chosen.
The most common PLCs with which we workwith are Siemens (S5, S7, 1500), Schneider, Allen-Bradley, Beckhoff, …
We guarantee quality and efficiency by investing in tools such as data capture, simulation and reporting tools to monitor the production process.
By means of simulation tools, we can demonstrate even before commissioning that the proposed solution will be efficient and of high quality. By means of this simulation, a FAT, or Factory Acceptance Test, takes place. This is a quality assurance to the customer that a conversion or process will only be implemented after the customer has confirmed that the automation works as he wishes. In this way, we ensure a smooth and efficient commissioning of the project with a guaranteed production quality.
After completion, you can count on a 24-hour service via our helpdesk.
When approaching projects, the safety aspects of your installations are taken into account from the very beginning. This applies to both machine safety and process safety. We can assist you with this in the form of study, analysis and concrete implementation.
In terms of Human Machine Interface, we strive for standardisation. Extra functionalities (e.g. operator logging, measuring operating hours) increase the user-friendliness and usability. Clear dashboards and synoptic images ensure that operators can quickly detect and solve any problem situations. All possible relevant data are logged, so that the correct analysis and reporting can be carried out later.
Together with you or your ICT supplier, our service provides a balanced ICT infrastructure at the level of clients, servers and industrial networks. Security is also a very important factor here, to which due attention is paid. We can assist you in both hardware and software solutions and in managing the growing complexity in industrial networks.
Based on specific process needs from various sectors, we are able to develop very specific and process-oriented applications with our software team. This can range from the processing of production orders from ERP to specific workflows to support the operators.
In order to give the customer a complete picture of his installation and to be able to operate it easily, we use a SCADA system.
Depending on the requirements, we use Siemens (WinCC, UnifiedProfessional), Inductive (Ignition) and Wonderware (Intouch).
Due to the growing complexity in distribution networkswhereby energy supply and consumption must be optimally matched to the energy injection with wind/solar/CHP and so on.We provide the necessary support to transform these grids into real smartgridsin which we determine, in consultation with the customer how the energy flows should behave.
In consultation with the customer, we propose an appropriate contemporary high-performance solution according to the size of the environment to be virtualised. We take into account the desired level of redundancy, UPS infrastructure, backup requirements, storage needs, ... And because security is extremely important, we pay a lot of attention to Cyber Security.
