What LTRX is engaged to do

Six areas of work, grouped by the layer of the plant they touch. Each tag below marks the discipline the scope sits in — most projects combine two or three.

CTRL

Control systems and automation

Programming, rework and migration of the controllers that run your process, with the operator interface treated as part of the design rather than an afterthought.

  • PLC logic development, rewrites and legacy controller migration
  • HMI and operator screen design, alarm rationalisation
  • Variable speed drive configuration and motor control sequences
  • Interlock and permissive review against the process description
PANEL

Control panel design and build

Panels drawn, built and wired off-site so that the time you lose on the floor is limited to termination and proving.

  • Schematics, layouts, cable and terminal schedules
  • Assembly, wiring, labelling and bench testing before delivery
  • Retrofit of existing enclosures where replacement is not warranted
  • Marked-up as-built drawings issued on completion
NET

Industrial networks and connectivity

The cabling and switching that carries process data, designed for an environment with dust, vibration and long runs rather than for an office floor.

  • Copper and fibre backbone design, installation and testing
  • Managed switching, VLAN segmentation, control-network separation
  • Links to remote pump stations, silos, weighbridges and outbuildings
  • Fault-finding on intermittent links and noisy segments
INST

Instrumentation and calibration

Selecting and proving the instruments your process is measured by, so that the number on the screen is one you can act on.

  • Flow, level, pressure, temperature and analytical instrument selection
  • Installation, loop checking and point-to-point verification
  • Calibration with recorded before and after values
  • Diagnosis of drifting, noisy or disagreeing readings
DATA

Telemetry, SCADA and reporting

Getting plant data off the floor and into a form somebody will actually open on a Monday morning.

  • SCADA and historian configuration, tag naming and trend setup
  • Remote site telemetry over radio, cellular or fixed links
  • Alarm routing and shift handover reporting
  • Production, energy and runtime reports built from existing tags
SUPP

Maintenance, support and documentation

Scheduled attention for systems that are otherwise only looked at when they fail, plus recovery of the paperwork that went missing years ago.

  • Periodic inspection, backup verification and firmware review
  • Breakdown attendance within agreed response arrangements
  • Reconstruction of as-built drawings and I/O schedules
  • Spares recommendations based on what is actually installed
Engagement

Three ways sites bring us in

Project

A defined scope with a fixed deliverable: an upgrade, a new line, a cutover during a planned shutdown.

Survey and report

A single visit that produces a written assessment of what is installed, what is at risk and what it would take to fix.

Ongoing support

A standing arrangement covering scheduled maintenance, backups and an agreed response for breakdowns.

Not sure which of these your job is?

Describe the plant and the problem. If the answer is a survey, we will tell you that before quoting anything larger.
