Automation and PLC Control | Dark Knight Engineering

Automation

We have an in-house team of automation experts skilled in programmable logic controllers (PLC), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), human machine interface (HMI) and remote access to improve efficiency, consistency, human safety and production output, while reducing lead times and operating costs.

Our automation engineering solutions cover a broad spectrum of services, including system integration, control system design, robotics, maintenance and customised software development.

Additionally, we offer comprehensive VPN (virtual private network) solutions to enhance network security and remote access capacity.

PLC control

We don’t just provide a program, we deliver a complete, tailored PLC operating system designed to fulfil your exact needs. Our solutions include various controller types and sizes, offering data logging, monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities.

Whether you require discrete, process, motion or safety control, our adaptable solutions allow you to modify and even reprogram them to match evolving manufacturing constraints and conditions.

We partner with all industry leaders in PLC engineering including Allen Bradley by Rockwell Automation, Siemens, Unitronics, Omron, Mitsubishi, Schneider, Beckhoff, Idec, Codesys and more.

SCADA

Our tailored SCADA solutions for industrial processes leverage cutting-edge technology to provide real-time monitoring and control, ensuring operational efficiency and minimising downtime.

We integrate remote access and diagnostics to SCADA systems for rapid troubleshooting, reducing downtime, simplifying maintenance, improving efficiency and supporting data analysis.

We partner with industry leaders in SCADA engineering including Allen Bradley by Rockwell Automation (Factorytalk SE/ME, Optix), Aveva, Ignition, Node-red, Citect and other proprietary systems.

HMI

We provide HMI solutions with a user-friendly graphical interface for operators to interact with and control industrial systems, enhancing efficiency, monitoring and decision-making in complex processes.

DKE Group can integrate this customized software with networking and VPN technologies to achieve secure and flexible control of essential industrial systems through remote access.

We partner with industry leaders in HMI engineering, including Allen Bradley by Rockwell Automation (Panelview, Factorytalk View), Siemens (Simatic), Redlion (Crimson) and more.
