Recent work
Practical support. Recent examples.
Selected assignments across industrial and fuel-system controls, from HMI replacement to on-site fault investigation.
ASCO
Tank-farm HMI replacement
Replacement of the operator interface serving five storage tanks, supported by PLC and HMI project backups and configuration and testing of replacement equipment.
Work carried out
The replacement HMI was installed and a configured spare supplied. Recommendations covered display protection, secondary indication and future maintenance resilience.
Scope: HMI replacement, configuration, testing and recovery preparation.
Hitachi
Fuel-system valve investigation
Investigation of automatic filling and dispensing controls, including actuator power checks and assessment of valve operation.
Work carried out
An unserviceable filling-valve assembly was identified. Findings and recommendations for rectification, actuator protection and controlled functional testing were documented.
Scope: fault diagnosis and recommendations. Follow-up repairs are not presented as completed work.
