Relay Control to PLC Migration
Your PLC was originally commissioned 20 years ago, you don’t have electrical schematics, wire labels are barely legible….no problem. We will reverse engineer your PLC and associated field I/O, retrofit it with the latest controls hardware, and procure a fresh set of electrical schematics.
Complex Motion Applications
Motion applications are typically more complex than your standard discrete PLC migration. You need to bring in the big guns. Pacific Blue has heavy hitting motion control experts to modernize your motion control system
AC & DC Drive Conversions
From your standard pump and conveyor applications to advanced master follower with torque control, we can convert your old school AC & DC Drives.
Network Architecture Modernization
You already know that your network is vitally important. It serves as the central nervous system of the automation control architecture. Legacy networks are bottlenecks to modernizing your entire platform and can cause devastating unplanned downtime. Our team surgically decommissions your existing infrastructure and implements a modern network architecture to keep your operations running efficiently.
