Wash Plant Control System Upgrade

Sector: Coal Mining (Bowen Basin, QLD)

Challenge: The client was operating on a legacy, unsupported PLC network suffering from intermittent communication failures and high downtime.

Solution: Powerloop Automation executed a phased migration to a modern Allen-Bradley ControlLogix platform with a complete SCADA overhaul using Ignition.

Result: Increased plant throughput by 12%, eliminated communication dropouts, and provided real-time diagnostic dashboards for the maintenance team.
