Project – Heat Treatment in existing foundry 2006
In 2006, Control House secured an order to develop a PC based SCADA
(Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system for a large heat treatment operation in London.
‘ HEAT TREAT Buddy’ was developed to provide all the sophisticated control required in the very stringent aerospace sector. ‘HEAT TREAT Buddy’ controls the furnace temperatures & ramp rates within the necessary tolerances and plots dynamic graphs with easy to use zoom & pan functionality.
Benefits
The project enabled the company to meet the stringent requirements for
Aerospace contracts.
The quality managers, production managers & operators have all benefited from the simple to use interface which has been designed to minimise human error, speed up the operating procedure & improve the quality of the heat treat process.
Information for regular audit’s is now readily available and managed in secure, tamper-proof data bases
Multiple runs can be scheduled to be started without supervision when staff is not on site, maximising the throughput & efficiency of the facility.
