Turnkey automation upgrades involve delivering a complete system improvement from initial evaluation through installation, programming, and final commissioning under one coordinated scope. In Southern California facilities, this service is often used when existing automation systems are outdated, unsupported, or no longer aligned with production needs. It allows plant operators to transition to updated control systems without managing multiple contractors or phases separately.
How It Works:
- Assessment of current automation systems, including hardware, software, and process requirements
- Development of an upgrade approach that considers compatibility, downtime, and system transition
- Procurement and installation of new control hardware, such as PLCs, HMIs, and drives
- Programming, configuration, and integration with existing equipment and processes
- Commissioning and testing to confirm system performance under real operating conditions
What to Expect
Turnkey projects typically involve detailed planning before field work begins, especially when system downtime must be minimized. Installation and changeover may occur during scheduled outages or in phases. After commissioning, systems are observed and adjusted as needed to ensure stable operation, and plant personnel may need to become familiar with updated controls and interfaces.
