Automation of elevators and automation of turnkey granaries

Selection of an automation contractor for an elevator or granary is one of the most important tasks facing the owner. This task is important mainly because automation is a key and final stage in new construction of modernization of an existing elevator. The ability to perform design, equipment supply, mounting and commissioning of ACS equipment — all automation of a turnkey elevator – is an advantage that companies with experience and appropriate permits, and certificates can perform.

Design of elevators and granaries: sections, mandatory scope of work

Standard design scope for elevator objects includes automation of the following processes in grain processing and storage during technological equipment work:

If we consider the scope of work not from technological processes, but from the whole complex, then they can be divided into the following:

• Power supply of an elevator;
• Automatic process control system of the elevator (automation of the elevator);
• Illumination of an elevator and auxiliary premises;
• Grounding and lightning protection;
• Video surveillance.

What types of elevators / granaries are available? The main differences

INFOCOM LTD automates all types of elevators. Depending on the type, the hardware-software complex and the required degree of reliability of the control system are determined:

• Grain receiving (it is also called procuring) elevator — receiving grain from farms.
• A transshipment or port elevator — an elevator when changing transport routes (reloading from railway transport to sea vessels (there are very high requirements for fault tolerance, since the idle time of a sea vessel is large)
•  Basic elevator — long-term storage of grain.
• Production elevator at the mill, feed mills and similar plants. For the storage of grain in a volume that can process the plant.

Experience in the implementation of projects for the automation of elevators and granaries

INFOCOM  in the market of industrial control systems since 1996. We have completed more than 300 projects for the automation of technological processes. We offer typical solutions, quality and partner prices:

• High quality project in optimal time. Design documentation development is performed by INFOCOM LTD design engineers in EPLAN ElectricP8 CAD software, a software package from German manufacturers, which allows concentrating on the high-quality electrical circuit diagrams and automatical obtaining all other design documentation based on them.
• Work with proven manufacturers of controllers. INFOCOM works only with proven and reliable brands, such as SIEMENS, Schneider Electric, Eaton / Moeller. In this way we can guarantee the quality and reliability of the control system, which is confirmed by the partner certificate we received for implementing automation solutions from SIEMENS.
• Assembly of cabinets for automated process control systems in-house. Production of power distribution cabinets, control cabinets, local control panels is carried out under the guidance of our design engineers, which ensures 100% compliance with design solutions.
• Affiliate prices. INFOCOM has been working on the market for more than 20 years. During this time we have managed to build strong partnerships with reliable manufacturers and suppliers of automation equipment, which guarantees our customers the promised delivery time of equipment and the opportunity to receive equipment at partner prices.

Elevator and granaries equipment: selection

For the automation of the main process equipment (conveyors, elevators, valves, valves, distributors, separators, wiper augers), INFOCOM engineers use equipment from automated process control systems of time-tested manufacturers such as SIEMENS, MOELLER, SchneiderElectric, Rittal.

INFOCOM is an official representative of SIEMENS since 1996 (since its foundation) and is its certified partner in providing automation solutions based on SIEMENS equipment, therefore you will purchase equipment from us not with inflated prices, but at partner prices reduced for the supplied volume.

The automation system typically consists of the following set of basic cabinets:

• Power supply cabinets (input cabinets; power distribution cabinets; motor control cabinets);
• Cabinets of programmable controller (PLC cabinet; cabinets of decentralized peripherals);
• Cabinets of communication equipment;
• Lighting cabinets;
• Operator Workstation.

Field equipment for elevators:

• Instruments (sensors, limit switches);
• Emergency stop button;
• Local control desks.

 Work performance and guarantees

INFOCOM performs  full scope of automation works starting from Requirement specification for design up to the  system comissioning into operation. The earlier automation company is engaged in project the more correct are all solutions for the automation system and possibilities of technological equipment are realized.

After completing the work, we carry out all installation work (cable trays, cable routes, cabinets for automated process control systems, local control panels) and commissioning. After all the work has been completed, we offer warranty and post-warranty maintenance of automation systems, upon request..

Our training center suggests trainig for operators, maintenance engineers in Siemens Simatic and WinCC for automation system service.
