Upgrade from Manual to Automated Batch Process Manufacturing System

EPIC replaced a manual batch processing facility with an automated batch process manufacturing system. We provided a complete turnkey batch processing system including skids pre-wired to on-skid control panels. Each module communicated via Ethernet network to other equipment,  the operator interface and batch control logic.

• Develop an easy to use control application and architecture for operators used to doing operations manually.
  Integrate some used equipment from the old facility into the new facility
