PLC panel built for SWD control upgrade
Case study · SWD operations

From manual and
non-fail-safe
to automated

An outdated SWD control system needed continuous operator intervention and had no safety alarms. We replaced it with a PLC-based system that starts and stops on its own and shuts down safely when something goes wrong.

  • Alarm history and trending
  • Automated skim oil management
  • Fail-safe shutdown alarms
