Plant automation

Our specialism

Plant automation experts

From automatic batch and route control to sophisticated alarm management and SMART industrial software suite, we take the pain out of plant automation. CoNet combines cutting edge, standardised processes and software applications, such as the latest Siemens PCS neo process control system, with bespoke, expertise driven flexible design solutions to give you full plant control.

Manual resolution can be time consuming and unreliable. We automate success with our holistic plant automation solutions and Totally Automated Integration (TIA) approach, driving efficiency, saving time, and reducing headaches.

Less errors, improved safety

CoNet’s process control systems continuously monitor factory hardware and software for errors. We can identify the when, where and why of your slowdowns and risks before operators on the floor. Our proprietary tool, Smart Systems Process Guard (PSG) can monitor and control components at a very low level, giving you eyes everywhere. We’ll also keep your floor staff informed of how to solve issues like blockages and contamination with our 24/7 support service.

Reduced Opex and Capex costs

By implementing CoNet’s smart automated Simatic batch control and route control solutions, you’ll save money and time by removing the need for complicated and tedious manual routing, lowering mistakes and ensuring your plant runs in the most efficient way possible. We deploy Siemens standard process historians, or our own proprietary SMART REACT, and we apply SMART batch connect, standardising connections from the ERP/SAP, which are both available in Siemens Xcelerator.

Reactive flexible factories

In the plants of the future, flexibility is the name of the game when meeting market demand. CoNet’s Simatic batch control approach allows you to control each part of your factory from a centralized system. Need to change up a recipe or process fast? Load it into our plant automation system and sit back and watch as your plant works for you for a change.

Driving long-term value and productivity

Our Plant Automation Expertise

CoNet are the foremost experts at using Siemens technology to drive long term value, safety, productivity and efficiency through plant automation. Allow our experts to unlock creative solutions hidden in your factory.

1. Process safety

Ensures that industrial processes operate within safe limits to prevent accidents, equipment damage, or environmental harm.

2. SIMATIC Batch

Manages and automates batch production processes, offering recipe control, traceability, and flexible sequencing.

3. SIMATIC Route control

Automates and monitors material transport paths (e.g., pipelines or conveyors) to ensure safe and efficient routing.

4. Process historian

Collects and stores time-series process data for analysis, reporting, and optimization of operations.

5. Alarm management

Helps operators prioritize and respond to critical process alarms effectively, reducing alarm floods and improving safety.

6. Process instrumentation

Provides accurate real-time measurements (e.g., pressure, temperature, flow) essential for controlling and monitoring processes.

7. Industrial communication

Enables reliable and secure data exchange between devices, systems, and control layers in industrial environments.

8. Control loop (PID) tuning

Optimizes the performance of PID controllers to maintain process stability, accuracy, and responsiveness.

9. Interfacing 3rd parties like ERP

Connects process control systems with enterprise-level software (like ERP) to synchronize production and business operations.

10. Open Source

Offers flexible, community-driven software solutions that can be integrated into industrial systems for customization and cost efficiency.

Smart plants

Alarm management

CoNet’s plant automation system comes with smart alarm management, reducing irrelevant alarms. For example, our smart system can understand when your hardware is on maintenance, vetting each alarm for relevance and controlling for false alarms.

Use time and resources efficiently with smart alarm management;
Vet each alarm for relevance and context to reduce false alarms;
Aim for an average of ten alarms per hour in your plant.
