Industrial control includes the automation of processes, manufacturing and material handling activities.
At PCI, our expertise in several areas allows us to accompany you in the realization of your projects where industrial control is now essential. Whether these projects are the integration of machines, processes, or the modernization of your equipment, we are the extension of your engineering team, from the birth of your ideas to the start-up.
This expertise covers all types of machines and industrial processes:
- Fermentation, Separation, Drying
- Clean in place (CIP) systems
- Pasteurization (HTST and UHT)
- Water treatment
- Batching and continuous processes
- Integration of packaging lines
- Optimizing throughput
- Modernization and securing machines
- Vision and rejection systems
We can prepare, implement, and ensure the success of your transition to Industry 4.0.
