Engineering, Commissioning and Maintenance of Industrial Automation Systems
Modern industrial automation serves as the primary driver for increasing profitability, operational safety, and process accuracy in industrial facilities. The Chastotnik.ua engineering company provides professional services in the design of automated process control systems (APCS), comprehensive maintenance of automation systems, and full-scale modernization of production lines at industrial sites of any complexity. We assist Ukrainian enterprises in minimizing unscheduled downtime, reducing human error, and seamlessly integrating advanced energy-efficient control hardware into their existing factory infrastructure.
Comprehensive Production Line Modernization: Phase-by-Phase Project Execution
Upgrading obsolete machinery or developing a control system from the ground up is a sophisticated engineering process that demands rigorous adherence to quality phases. Our specialists perform the complete cycle of works according to the following structured algorithm:
- Pre-project Survey and Technical Site Audit. Our engineers visit the plant to analyze existing hardware, identify technological bottlenecks, inspect the physical condition of power cabling, sensory nodes, actuators, variable frequency drives, and programmable logic controllers.
- Development of Technical Specifications. Working closely with client representatives, we compile a detailed requirements document defining control system targets, throughput parameters, safety interlocking logic, HMI operation concepts, and operational environments.
- Hardware and Software Architectural Design. During this stage, our team designs electrical schematics, external connection topologies, cabinet layouts, and chooses suitable control elements (PLCs, I/O modules, operator panels, instrumentation, switchgear, VFDs, and soft starters).
- Power and Control Cabinet Assembly. At our specialized assembly facility, we mount switchgear, protective elements, controllers, and drive units into industrial cabinets. All internal wiring is meticulously labeled according to the schematics, followed by preliminary voltage testing.
- Control Software Application Development. Our software engineers write reliable application programs for PLCs (using LAD, FBD, SCL, or STL languages complying with the IEC 61131-3 standard) and human-machine interfaces (HMI panels, SCADA systems). We build intuitive visualization screens, alarms, and history logging databases.
- On-site Mounting and Commissioning. We carry out cabinet mounting, cable routing, sensory-node hookups, and control wiring connections at the customer site. Step-by-step loop checks, motor direction checks, VFD tuning, sensor calibration, and emergency sequence simulations are conducted.
- System Testing and Production Startup. We conduct comprehensive tests starting with dry-run sequences and moving to active load tests. All process parameters are closely monitored over predefined trial periods. Following successful tests, formal acceptance documentation is executed.
- Operations Staff Briefing and Training. Our commissioning team holds detailed training sessions for site operators and maintenance personnel regarding standard operations, diagnostic tools, emergency responses, and preventative care routines.
Preventive Servicing & SLA Support Contract Tiers
Proactive hardware servicing is dramatically more cost-efficient than reactive emergency repairs after a catastrophic breakdown. Professional maintenance keeps system efficiency high and prolongs equipment lifespans. We offer highly customizable SLA (Service Level Agreement) packages tailored to different factory needs:
| Metric / Service | Bronze Tier (Basic) | Silver Tier (Standard) | Gold Tier (Premium) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Application Target | Small workshops, standby lines, non-critical systems | Continuous production lines of moderate capacity | Critical 24/7 continuous industrial complexes |
| Guaranteed Response Time | Within 24 hours of notification | Within 12 hours of fault event | Within 4 hours (24/7 immediate dispatch) |
| Scheduled Preventive Inspections | 1 trip per quarter (3 months) | 1 trip per month (standard audit) | 2 trips per month + priority call-outs |
| PLC & HMI Software Backups | Initial commissioning and major changes only | Quarterly backups with firmware reviews | Monthly backups with cloud and local mirror arrays |
| VFD & Soft Starter Diagnostics | Semi-annual (radiator cleaning, fan check) | Quarterly (cleaning, terminal torque check) | Monthly (thermal imaging, ESR capacitor checks) |
| Sensors Calibration & Audit | Once a year per manufacturer guidelines | Semi-annually with detailed calibration logging | Quarterly, compensating sensor zero-drift actively |
| Backup Stock Provision | Available for rent from stock at standard rates | Priority free hardware reserve from warehouse stock | Dedicated backup stock stored locally or at our hub |
Supported Technologies & Brand Expertise
Our engineering division possesses profound expertise in working with driving systems and automation solutions from world-renowned brands. We specialize in design, programming, parameterization, and maintenance of equipment from Siemens (Simatic S7-1200, S7-1500, S7-300 series), Schneider Electric (Modicon, Altivar), Danfoss (VLT, VLT Micro Drive FC 51), ABB (ACS310, ACS355, ACS580), Mitsubishi Electric (FR-A700, FR-D700, FR-E700, FR-F800), Veichi (AC10, AC310, AC01), and INVT (GD10, GD20, GD200A). Our engineers establish reliable data exchange over Modbus RTU/TCP, Profinet, EtherCAT, Profibus, CANopen, and Ethernet/IP industrial networks.
