Process Manufacturing Controls
PLC programming, HMI/SCADA, batch control, and process instrumentation integration for industrial process manufacturing — chemical, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications.
Controls Capabilities
Process manufacturing controls is an expanding practice area for VIR Automation. Our engineering team brings process controls experience from industrial backgrounds including plant-level SCADA and HMI design and process system oversight. Core capabilities include PLC programming across Allen-Bradley and Siemens platforms. We assess each process manufacturing project individually — contact us to discuss your application.
Batch Process Control
Recipe management, batch sequencing, and procedural control logic for batch reactors, mixing systems, and multi-step manufacturing processes.
PID Loop Tuning & Optimization
Process loop tuning for temperature, pressure, flow, and level control — including cascade and ratio control architectures.
Process Instrumentation Integration
Integration of temperature transmitters, pressure sensors, flow meters, analyzers, and control valves into PLC logic with proper alarm management.
HMI/SCADA for Process Plants
Operator interfaces and plant-wide SCADA for real-time process monitoring, alarm management, and trend analysis.
Safety Interlocks & Permissives
Process safety interlock logic — high-high pressure trips, temperature shutdowns, level protection, and safe-state sequencing.
Ignition SCADA Integration
Inductive Automation Ignition SCADA for plant-level process visualization, historian integration, and multi-site monitoring.
Equipment Types
Our process manufacturing controls experience spans a range of industrial process equipment:
Batch Reactors & Vessels
PLC control for chemical and pharmaceutical batch reactors — temperature ramp/soak, agitation, dosing, and discharge sequencing.
Mixing & Blending Systems
Mixing system controls — ratio blending, ingredient batching, and weight-based dosing with HMI recipe management.
Heating & Cooling Systems
Process heating and cooling loop controls — heat exchangers, jacketed vessels, and thermal management systems.
Distillation & Separation
Column control, reflux ratio management, and separation process instrumentation integration.
Dryers & Evaporators
Industrial dryer and evaporator controls — temperature profiling, moisture control, and energy-efficient operation.
Material Transfer Systems
Pump, valve, and piping network control for material transfer, blending, and product routing in process facilities.
