MM Kembla required a modernisation strategy to upgrade ageing Siemens S5 PLC systems that were nearing end-of-life. To ensure reliability, reduce maintenance risk, and protect production uptime, I S Systems was engaged to complete a staged migration to Siemens S7 PLC platforms.
When the need arose to replace 18 obsolete Modicon PLCs with modern Siemens S7-1500 PLCs, I S Systems was tasked with delivering a seamless, compliant, and low-risk upgrade—without interrupting ongoing operations.
Modernising Reliability with a Complete Sugar Bagger PLC Upgrade
A narrow delivery timeline for a dry-dock maintenance window presented an opportunity for I S Systems to provide a speedy, low downtime solution.
In this project, I S Systems delivered replacements of the PLC, DC Drives, Saw Motor/Gearbox & AC drive, and an upgrade of analogue control modules for a copper tube line.
I S Systems partnership with iba-Oceania delivered an logging and analysis package that greatly improved reliability of a Port Headland bucket wheel reclaimer.
