Before Incon Automation’s performed the PLC programming upgrade, the existing 1200 I/O PLC system in Reporoa faced several challenges that hindered efficiency and reliability.

Aging hardware and outdated programming led to system instability, slower response times, and an increased risk of failures, impacting overall production performance. Limited scalability made it difficult to accommodate future expansions or process improvements, while a lack of modern features restricted remote monitoring and advanced automation capabilities. Additionally, upgrading such a complex system without disrupting operations required careful planning, precise execution, and seamless integration of new hardware and software.

Overcoming these challenges was essential to ensuring a smoother, more efficient, and future-ready control system

Before starting the PLC upgrade project in Reporoa, Incon Automation set several key goals to enhance system performance, reliability, and scalability.

These goals included:

By addressing the challenges of outdated hardware, limited scalability, and potential system instability, Incon Automation successfully delivered a full turnkey upgrade for the 1200 I/O PLC system in Reporoa.

Their comprehensive approach—spanning design, build, installation, and commissioning—ensured seamless integration with minimal disruption to operations. This upgrade met the company’s goals of improving system reliability, enhancing automation capabilities, and future-proofing the infrastructure for expansion.

With a modern, scalable, and efficient PLC system now in place, the plant operates with greater stability, reduced downtime, and enhanced process control, ensuring long-term efficiency and reliability.
