Gypsum Handling Project

Project scope

When a major blue-chip company invested in a new UK facility, AC‑Sys was selected to deliver the electrical and automation package for the bulk material handling solution. We designed and implemented a robust system to control all plant to take raw material from ship unloading cranes, transport it over 1km, and automated stacking and reclaiming for the plasterboard manufacturing line. Our solution combined long-distance conveying, intelligent control, and seamless integration to meet demanding throughput.

Services offered

Electrical System Design

AC‑Sys delivered a complete EPLAN P8 electrical design package featuring over 700 I/O points and 40 Ethernet/IP devices. The system included advanced load‑sharing control for a twin synchronized drive assembly, ensuring robust performance and seamless integration.

Panel Manufacture

MCC panels were fabricated in‑house and installed into pre‑built, environmentally controlled enclosures. Each panel was pre‑terminated for rapid onsite connection, minimizing installation time.

PLC Programming

A GuardLogix safety PLC was deployed to manage all field devices, providing high‑integrity control and compliance with functional safety requirements.

SCADA Programming

AC‑Sys implemented a full server‑client SCADA solution using thin‑client architecture. The system was fully integrated and deployed on the enterprise server, enabling secure, scalable, and centralized monitoring and control.
