MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS

Precision Control, Built Around Your Process

Connected Manufacturing. Complete Operational Visibility.

Modern manufacturing depends on having the right information at the right time. Knowing what is happening across your production environment allows you to identify problems earlier, improve processes and make better operational decisions.

Tascomp provides monitoring, control and automation solutions that connect machines, production equipment and business systems to give manufacturers greater visibility, control and traceability across their operations. From a single machine to a full production line, we design and build the systems that keep it running safely, efficiently and exactly to spec.

From straightforward production monitoring and data collection through to complete PLC, HMI, DCS and SCADA control systems, our engineers work across PLCs, drives, instrumentation and software integration — so your monitoring, control and automation strategy is handled by one accountable team rather than stitched together from multiple suppliers.

Monitoring

MONITOR YOUR MANUFACTURING PROCESSES

Before you can improve a process, you need to understand what is happening. Our monitoring solutions collect information directly from your machinery, production equipment and control systems, turning operational data into clear, useful information. We can help you monitor:

Production Performance
Track production activity in real time, including machine status, production quantities, cycle times, downtime and performance against targets.
Machine & Equipment Status
See the current status of machinery and equipment across your production environment, helping teams identify issues quickly.
Process Data
Capture process parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow, speed and levels to provide a complete picture of performance.
Energy & Utilities
Monitor energy consumption and other utilities to identify usage patterns, inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement.
Alarms & Events
Capture and monitor alarms, warnings and significant production events, providing a clear history of what happened and when.
KPIs & Reporting
Turn production data into meaningful dashboards, KPIs, trends and reports that help teams make better decisions.
Visibility

VISIBILITY ACROSS YOUR PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT

A connected manufacturing environment gives everyone a clearer understanding of what is happening on the factory floor. Our systems can bring information together from multiple machines, production lines and processes, providing a single view of operational performance. This can include:

Real-time production dashboards
Machine and line status
Production counts and targets
Downtime monitoring
Performance and efficiency data
Historical trends
Alarm and event history
Production reporting
Operator information
Data from multiple machines or sites

Whether information is required at the machine, on the shop floor, in a control room or by management, we can provide the appropriate level of visibility.

Traceability

PRODUCT & PROCESS TRACEABILITY

Understanding where products, materials and components are within your manufacturing process can be just as important as monitoring the machines themselves.

Product Tracking
Track products, batches, components or containers as they move through production and between different process stages.
Barcode & Identification
Use barcodes, scanners and other identification technologies to capture movement and production information accurately.
Process History
Build a detailed history of the production journey, recording key events, process stages, operators, machines and relevant production data.
Material Traceability
Track materials and components through the manufacturing process to improve visibility and support quality and compliance requirements.
Evidence & Records
Capture supporting information such as production data, inspection results, images, operator records and other evidence associated with a product or process.
Control & Automation

WHAT CAN WE CONTROL?

Monitoring provides visibility. Control and automation allow you to act on that information — our engineers develop control systems designed around your specific processes, equipment and operational requirements.

Process Control
Maintain control over critical manufacturing processes, including production sequencing, batching, recipe management, temperature, pressure, flow control and process optimisation.
Motion & Machine Control
Coordinated control of drives, actuators and machinery for precise, repeatable movement.
PLC Programming
Develop, modify and optimise PLC applications to control machinery, production lines and complex industrial processes, across a wide range of PLC platforms and industrial communication protocols.
Manual Control via Touchscreen HMI
Give operators direct, hands-on control at the machine through clear touchscreen interfaces — starting and stopping equipment, adjusting setpoints, viewing process information and responding to alarms and events.
DCS — Distributed Control Systems
Distribute control across multiple controllers positioned close to the process rather than concentrating it in one place. Well suited to continuous and process-heavy operations, a DCS keeps plant areas running independently while presenting a single, coordinated view — so a fault in one area doesn't take the whole process down with it.
SCADA Systems
Implement centralised SCADA — Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition — providing supervisory oversight of machines, processes and production facilities, with real-time monitoring, control, historical data, trends, alarms and reporting.
Alarm Management
Design intelligent alarm systems that help operators identify and respond to production issues quickly, with visibility wherever you are and a full historical record of events.

WHAT CAN WE AUTOMATE?

Control keeps a process running to spec. Automation takes the repetitive decisions and interventions off your operators altogether, so the line runs consistently shift after shift.

Start-Up & Shutdown Sequences
Run equipment through its correct start-up, changeover and shutdown steps automatically, in the right order and with the right interlocks, rather than relying on operators remembering the sequence.
Changeovers & Recipe Switching
Switch a line from one product or batch to the next by selecting a recipe, with setpoints, parameters and equipment configuration applied automatically.
Material Handling & Transfer
Automate the movement of materials, product and containers between process stages — conveying, filling, dosing and transfer operations coordinated across equipment.
Quality Checks & Rejection
Take measurements in line, compare them against tolerances and act on the result automatically — flagging, diverting or rejecting product without waiting for a manual check.
Data Capture & Reporting
Record production and process data as it happens and generate the shift, batch and compliance reports from it automatically, removing manual logging and paperwork.
A Practical Route In

START SMALL, EXPAND AFTER

Not every project needs to start with a complete automation system. Sometimes the first step is simply understanding what is happening.

We can start by connecting to your existing equipment and collecting the information already available within your machines and control systems. This can provide immediate visibility without requiring major changes to your existing infrastructure.

From there, systems can be developed further as your requirements evolve — adding dashboards, traceability, alarms, reporting, process control and automation as required. This provides a practical way to modernise manufacturing systems without having to replace everything at once.

Our Platforms

THE SOFTWARE BEHIND THESE SYSTEMS

Most of the systems described on this page are built on one of our two manufacturing platforms, developed and supported in-house. Each has its own site if you want the detail.

Prodigy

Our SCADA platform for real-time control and monitoring — process control, alarm handling, trending and reporting across machines, lines and whole facilities.

PlantRun

Our production monitoring system, connecting directly to shopfloor assets for downtime, OEE, production counts and shift reporting — with andon and energy monitoring alongside.
