Automation & Control System Upgrade
for
Dexion Amcap
Partnership with Dexion Amcap to overhaul the control systems of a high-volume warehouse conveyor in Perth, ensuring future-proof reliability.
Overview
Facing reliability issues with aging infrastructure, the client required a comprehensive modernisation.
CPR delivered a cutting-edge PLC and SCADA solution, alongside new MCC infrastructure, enhancing visibility, safety, and operational uptime without disrupting the busy distribution schedule.
Scope of Work
• Complete electrical system design and engineering
• Development and programming of PLC, HMI, and SCADA systems
• Manufacturing and installation of Motor Control Centres (MCC)
• On-site control cabling and field device installation
• Comprehensive functional testing and commissioning
• Provision of detailed as-constructed documentation
Challenges & Solutions
Challenge
Executing complex automation and control system upgrades within a fully operational warehouse racking facility demanded strict adherence to cutover windows and zero unplanned downtime. The project was further complicated by legacy equipment, undocumented field modifications from previous contractors, and the need to maintain continuous material handling operations throughout the upgrade period.
Solution
CPR implemented a staged migration strategy supported by rigorous off-site testing of all automation components before deployment. We reverse-engineered legacy control systems to ensure seamless integration with the new PLC architecture, delivering a clearly segregated, labelled and documented system designed for easy future maintenance and troubleshooting. The upgrade was completed without disrupting Dexion's daily warehouse operations.
Project Outcome
The facility now benefits from enhanced throughput reliability and rapid fault diagnostics. The seamless transition was achieved within the scheduled maintenance window, ensuring zero impact on outbound logistics.
