Metroid’s automation engineers are highly experienced in PLC, HMI and SCADA programming across a wide variety of applications and processes.
Having programmed over 800 projects throughout Australia and abroad across industrial, municipal and mining applications, you can trust us – we’ve done it before.
As brand agnostic, Metroid has experience across all common brands of hardware.
Benefits to you:
Customisation - In-house programming allows for tailored PLC/HMI and SCADA solutions specific to project needs, ensuring better integration with existing systems.
Greater Control - Direct control over both hardware
and software development leads
to higher quality and reliability,
reducing the likelihood of errors
or miscommunications.
Scalability & Flexibility - In-house development teams can quickly scale or adjust the project as requirements evolve, offering more flexibility than outsourced solutions.
Long-Term Support - Ongoing support and updates in-house ensures long-term reliability and maintenance, as the same team that designed the system will manage any changes.
PLC & HMI Program Functionality
Each project is customised for each unique project and client, and typically includes:
Process Overview
Allows any user to see the control features of the whole facility and is customised to suit each individual project needs.
Interactive icons enable high visibility of run status and easy ability to make adjustments from the overview page.
Trend graphs
Allows operators to visualise real-time data, such as voltage, current, temperature, or other operational parameters.
With high levels of functionality, operators can monitor trends across any data set and time range.
Setting Adjustment & Calibration
Calibration ensures that sensors and input devices (e.g., temperature, pressure, voltage, current sensors) provide accurate readings.
Uncalibrated sensors may give incorrect readings, leading to improper control.
Remote Access
Access your facility controls remotely, with full control at your fingertips.
Remote access to your PLC/HMI programs increases operational efficiency and allows for better management and maintenance of your plant.
SCADA Programming
Utilised for large projects requiring greater levels of control and data monitoring, advantages of SCADA can include:
Larger system overview
Allows significantly more process to be display within the one view.
For large complex projects, navigation is much easier than an HMI, providing plant-wide or multi-site views.
Data Aquisition
Significantly more functionality with long-term data logging and trend monitoring, for improved performance analysis, predictive maintenance and compliance reporting.
Multi-User
Allows multiple users to be logged into the same system, with centralised user authentication, role-based access and audit trails.
