and support

More than being an automation solutions provider, we’re also your partner for ongoing servicing and support, ensuring you keep running at peak efficiency. We also service existing installations from other providers.

Case Studies

WoolWorks’ existing Awatoto site required a substantial rebuild after flood damage caused by Cyclone Gabrielle. We were asked to implement a new control system for their machinery based on no documentation and limited, outdated software, which ran on legacy equipment.
We won the tender for the industrial automation and control of a green field site for Solid Energy working with a potentially explosive product: sawdust.
After our factory automation systems work for Ardagh in Hastings, we were approached for a turnkey electrical and control system design and installation in NSW.
For Craggy Range, we upgraded and maintained an extensive automation and control system, across a variety or processes, including two site wide SCADA systems.
The Pernod Ricard winery in Marlborough consisted of many independent machines with no common controls or oversight of the whole wine making process. We designed and deployed a site wide SCADA system solving these issues.
At the heart of Kraft Heinz’s central processing facility is a hydrostatic cooker capable of processing and cooking 60,000 cans of food at any one time in a continuous process. It is an integral part of their business and a potential breakdown presented a significant financial risk.
We have a long working relationship providing winery automation services for Indevin Partners, keeping them at the forefront of the winemaking industry.
Having a proven history and reputation for automation design at other fertiliser service centres, Ballance Agri-Nutrients asked us to develop a design for a green field site.
Machine automation was the key to upgrading old fruit presses to impressive standards. Our solution for ENZA did much more than simply diagnose and fix faults.
