01 / What we take on
We modernize existing controls and integrate new equipment into working operations. Our approach connects the details inside each controller to the flow of the entire system.
PLC-5, SLC, and HMI upgrades; current ControlLogix or CompactLogix platforms; migration sequencing and temporary interfaces where the system calls for a phased approach.
Controls modernizationConveyors, MDR zones, merges, sorters, scanners, carton tracking, and WCS interfaces. Control the flow between individual machines and the wider operation.
Material-handling systemsPackaging and palletizing coordination, PLC-to-business-system interfaces, and process sequences for tanks, valves, flow, recipes, purge, and sanitation functions.
Packaging, process & data02 / Honest Controls project experience
Empty-carton conveyor modernization
We combined electrical rewiring, PLC control of individual motor-driven roller zones, carton-erector controls, and scanner-based tracking in a completed line modernization.
Inside the projectWith tracking that reconciles cartons added to or removed from the line.
03 / Our approach
We start with how your operation needs to work, then carry those decisions through the drawings, software, installation, and commissioning.
We review equipment behavior, production needs, existing programs and drawings, and available shutdown windows to plan the work around your operation.
We connect electrical design, controls hardware, PLC and HMI software, and equipment interfaces, with installation planning that follows the engineering.
We carry out electrical checkout and commissioning, then support the handover with operator training, as-built updates, and maintenance documentation.
We coordinate electrical installation with qualified installation partners, keeping design, field work, and startup connected.
04 / How we work
We consider product flow, equipment behavior, operator decisions, and upstream and downstream interfaces together. The software needs to serve the way the operation runs.
We use consistent controls standards and modular code, supported by documentation that helps maintenance personnel understand and work with the system.
We bring operating states, alarms, and equipment status into the HMI, so operators can see what the system is doing and where to investigate.
Also available
We also provide PLC and HMI troubleshooting, startup support, controls modifications, and targeted field service for existing systems.
