EAD was asked by a long-time client to replace an obsolete PLC panel so the client could update the programming software.
EAD designed a new panel with a Modicon Quantum system.
To provide the client with a new panel, EAD developed a panel layout, parts specification, parts lists and control schematics. EAD also oversaw the procurement and acceptance testing of control panels. To install the panel in the field, EAD compiled a bid package that included electrical drawings, bid legal documentation, specifications, and scope of work. EAD obtained bid pricing from electrical contractors and worked with the electrical contractors to install and test the new PLC panel.
This is an example of just one of several ongoing factory automation upgrade projects that EAD continues to work with the client to perform engineering, automation and design services.
