Ensuring smooth operation - all day, every day.
At RM Group, we take our system design seriously. Our data-driven, detail-first approach means we gain a long-sighted view of the integration task.
Integration can range from a simple sensor/electrical connection to existing controls through new drives & controls, to a full software platform with OPC/UA, SQL, and remote UI/UX touch panels for interaction. We can’t overstate the importance of getting the “glue” that holds a system together right.
Of course, all of our self-designed and manufactured equipment is easily integrated (since we control the interface design!) but where we don’t design and manufacture a system component (such as case erection or labelling) then we’ll work directly with that manufacturer to integrate into our domain of control. This helps to ensure that the end-user and operator is presented a single control surface and interface – simpler operation, simpler maintance.
Our key competencies include:
- Integration into or replacement of Safety networks.
- Integration of new conveying & processing machinery into existing systems.
- Rewire and re-implementation of controls of existing systems.
- Inter-process communication via PLC, utilising OPC/UA over ProfiNET.
- Status communication and order scheduling with AGV/AMR fleet management.
- Safety cell entry negotiation with AGV/AMR units.
- Communication with end-user IT systems through XML, REST API, SQL, etc.
Our integration aims to be effective, with enough complexity to handle both normal and exceptional operations without becoming a maintenance headache.
Testimonial
I would certainly recommended RM group in the future. Their friendly but professional approach to the project has been fantastic. As RM Group has experience in the bottling industry, we were certain they could fulfil the brief. They have worked with us to design a bespoke, fully automated packing line, which will be a huge benefit to us. We will be working with them again in the future.
We also have an innovative, user-friendly HMI program designed specifically to cater for the changes in our bottle quantities and sizes per tray.
The whole team have been a pleasure to work with, especially the engineers, who have been extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole process.
