A complete hardware/software solution tailored to control and manage safety of industrial cranes.
Given Microtecna’s expertise in optimal control & observation, this solution integrates custom-built algorithms to minimize load oscillations during crane’s movements.

Based on multiple technological layers (PLC/SAFE-PLC), this system manages all automation devices to guarantee the maximum performances and safety. The operators interact with the system using Wifi Joysticks and web-based GUIs. Different optical sensors and lidars recognize operators presence and automatically manages safety and manual operations (using SLS and STL technologies). The solution can be integrated with external MES to guarantee fully traceability of the production process and perform condition monitoring on the machine. 

A hybrid (PLC/IPC) platform tailored to manage test session on electrical generators.
The solutions is composed of a SAFE-PLC that continuously check plant and operators’ security through various industrial-grade safety sensors. At the same time PC-based services acquire and dispatch all the information necessary to control and observe the test processes. This information and all safety/process events are stored in a hi-performance certified database. Operators control and monitor the system via multiple web-interfaces and the system is connected with factory’s MES (tailored by Microtecna).

Using the powerful Microtecna’s MLP Platform, we created special automated guided vehicles able to load and unload beamlets from/to production looms and warehouses. These AGVs have omni-directional capabilities and can operate safely with people around it. Our Natural Navigation System allows simple plant deployments with minimum impact on the industrial environment where it will be used. It is very accurate (vehicles are approx. 3.5 m long, 0.6 m wide and can operate inside loom-corridors 0.9 m wide). The system is controlled by a single Control Station that automatically manages process flows, missions, traffic issues and ERP integration. The plant is also integrated with an external warehouse control system that manages the beamlets’ I/O. The system is integrated with an external ERP for process data synchronizations. Operators make request to the system using rugged mobile devices provided by Microtecna.

Using the powerful Microtecna’s MLP Platform, we are able to create automated guided vehicles tailored to transport heavy and delicate masses like aeronautical frames. These AGVs have omni-directional capabilities and can operate safely with people around them. Our Natural Navigation System allows simple plant deployments with minimum impact on the industrial environment where it will be used. The system is controlled by a single Control Station that automatically manages process flows, missions, traffic issues and ERP integration. The plant can be integrated with built-in control system that manages the production lines’ using additional PLCs provided by Microtecna. The system can be integrated with external MESs and ERPs.

A complete hardware/software solution tailored to control automatic sectional warping machines.
Based on multiple technological layers (PLC/SAFE-PLC/IPC), this system manages various automation devices (robots, handling systems, Jaquard machines, safety devices, …) to guarantee the maximum production output, safety and quality. The operators interact with the system using a PC-based GUI that can integrate a custom-built software (developed by Microtecna) to manage spool racks and organize operation sequences. Different sensors and lidars recognize operators presence and automatically manages safety and manual operations (using SLS and STL technologies). The system stores all the process-data on a local database. The solution can be integrated with external MES systems to guarantee fully traceability of the production process and perform condition monitoring on each machine.
