The PLC is a common component in industrial control systems nowadays. Using the correct hardware in a PLC control system is only half the battle. To implement efficient control software, the programmer must understand the entire process. Our control engineers are also chemical process engineers and understand every aspect of our customers’ process. Wastech has extensive experience with many brands of PLC’s including Allen Bradley, Idec, Modicon, Siemens, and others. So, if our customer’s facility has standardized on a brand of PLC, we can easily integrate our control panels into the existing network.

At Wastech, our programmers use a modular style of programming using extensive libraries developed and refined over many years to provide a program that is easy to understand and more importantly, easy to modify. If the process changes, downtime can be reduced to hours instead of days or even weeks. If needed, our engineers can connect to the PLC via the internet and a VPN or cellular wireless connection and modify the customer’s program without being on site. In the end, our customers save money and time.
