SPECIALTIES FEATURED WITH THIS PROJECT:
Industrial Controls
- A national dairy plant in Columbia, MO utilized Egan’s Industrial Controls team to upgrade its industrial refrigeration system.
- What started as a small upgrade to install a distributed server grew into a plant-wide overhaul to improve the user interface, operational efficiency, and system integration.
- The project began with replacing the existing proprietary controls with a new Control Logix panel and Egan’s Refrigeration-IQ™ control system. This upgrade immediately enhanced the user experience, making it easier to identify and manage connected controls, systems, and devices within the PLC and HMI.
- Additionally, Egan reprogramed all facility devices, updated system drawings of the devices and the air handling units (AHUs), and resolved system bugs.
- The single-view system-at-a-glance solution Egan provided allows for future scalability for the plant.
- By implementing the user-friendly Refrigeration-IQ™ controls system, Egan helped reduce downtime and improve the operability of the dairy plant’s equipment.
