Winder Automation System
Vertical Shaft – Project Restructurization & Control System Upgrade
This project involves the restructurization of an existing winder control system
by upgrading from conventional control architecture to a
PLC-based automation system for a
Vertical Shaft Men & Material Winding application.
The objective of this modernization was to enhance
operational safety, reliability, and system performance
in underground mining operations.
The upgraded solution is built on Siemens industrial automation technology,
integrating Siemens PLC S7-300, Siemens Drives, and a
SCADA-based supervision system.
The new PLC-driven architecture enables precise motion control,
real-time monitoring, fault diagnostics, and improved maintainability
under demanding mining conditions.
Project Scope
- Restructurization of existing control system to PLC-based automation
- Complete system execution, testing, and commissioning
- PLC, Drives, and SCADA system integration
- Implementation of safety logic and interlocks for winding operations
- System optimization and long-term AMC support
Technology Used
PLC Platform: Siemens S7-300
Drive System: Siemens Industrial Drives
SCADA System: Centralized monitoring, control, and diagnostics
Key Advantages
- Modern PLC-based control replacing legacy systems
- Improved operational safety and system reliability
- Enhanced diagnostics and reduced system downtime
- Future-ready, scalable automation architecture
