TURNKEY CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ATOMIZATION FURNACE & PI SERVER

Matrix Industrial Systems provided a complete turnkey replacement of control systems on two different Atomization Furnaces for Special Metals in Princeton, KY. These furnaces are used in the production of powdered metal alloys. The new control system was an AB CompactLogix PLC based with Panelview HMI. Matrix also provided and setup a separate PI server with Rockwell historian for data-logging critical batch data. Due to the physical configuration on the furnaces, we utilized wireless remote I/O to communicate with the main processor.

Matrix was given turnkey responsibility for all hardware and installation during a critical shutdown period. Success of the project led quickly to the conversion of another furnace on site which Matrix also handled in the same fashion.
