Burner & dryer control
Bespoke integration for burner and dryer operation, temperature management and process stability, with the required protection and control boundaries defined for each application.
ASPHALT PRODUCTION CONTROL
A more connected view
of asphalt production.
From cold feed to loadout, bring the process, controls and operational information together around the way your plant needs to perform.
UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE PROCESS
Temperature. Materials. Accuracy. Throughput.
Asphalt production is a connected process. Changes in materials, moisture, RAP content, operating modes or run length can affect the whole plant. We develop controls and visibility with that context in mind.
Cold feeds & RAP integration
Feeder control, material proportioning and RAP-related operating requirements considered together with plant configuration, recipe requirements and available measurement.
Batch accuracy & material control
Investigate dosing behaviour, material signals and the sequence of operations. Use production data to support consistent batching and informed improvement.
Silos & loadout
Operator visibility and control development for storage, routing and loadout functions, configured around the installed equipment and agreed operating sequence.
Energy & production reporting
Connect relevant production, recipe, material and energy data. Help operational teams understand variation and assess opportunities with an agreed baseline.
AI-supported optimisation
Develop appropriate AI interfaces and supervised behaviour around defined process limits. Validate the intended response in each operating mode before commissioning.
Start with the plant behaviour you want to improve: unstable temperature, repeated faults, limited reporting, material variation or an ageing operator interface.
APControl
A modern platform.
A practical migration.
Where APControl fits the application, it provides a route to a common operator experience, actionable diagnostics and reporting across suitable existing or new PLC systems.

A PRACTICAL ROUTE TO DELIVERY
Understand. Develop.
Prove. Deploy.
Move quickly with a clear scope, familiar engineering building blocks and testing that starts before the installation reaches site.
Understand the operation
Listen to the people running the plant. Establish the constraints, priorities and practical definition of success.
Develop the solution
Select the right platform and tailor reusable modules, interfaces and reporting to the customer’s requirements.
Simulate & validate
Exercise control behaviour, fault scenarios and operator workflows away from live production. Prepare your people as well as the system.
Deploy & support
Commission against agreed acceptance criteria. Hand over documentation, backups and a planned support and recovery approach.
