Process automation system

The Gadda group designs and realizes the hardware and relative software to control complex automated heat treatment plants, using the most advanced industrial automation equipment available today. The main purpose of the plant supervision system is to monitor production processes in real time integrating data with the customer’s production management systems. Each project is customized according to the client’s specifications and needs. The control system is designed to manage: – Level 3 Logic process by means of PLC; – Level 2 Process control by means of HMI / MMI configured to access and visualize plant information simply, intuitively and accessible remotely (WAN); – High-level controls through interface with customers management systems already in place or data acquisition systems for data storage in relational database equipped with ODBC and OLEDB interface (e.g. ACCESS, MS SQL SERVER). In the industry 4.0 Era, plants must be interconnected but above all safe. For years, Gadda group is committed to supply customers with supervision systems to manage their plants. All the industrial furnaces and machinery are connected to the level 2 supervision system, which is in turn connected to the company level 3 safety system. Batch automatic lines is segregated by fences and accessible only through interlocked gates. All movements are automatized and do not need the presence of an operator. The heat-treatment recipes and the loader mission can be programmed directly from the supervision office, or remotely. Gadda group monitors all sensible data for all furnaces as time, temperature, gas or electric consumption, chamber pressure and so on.
