Location: Fresno, California
Scope: Pelleting control system (UL508a Panels, PLCs) 

This project integrated automation, SCADA and other innovative technologies for this smart control center upgrade to monitor the pelletizing process. The Pelleting Control System runs 24/7 on a Rockwell Software platform to help maintain high-quality production at all times.

Lighthouse Electrical’s expert team was used to improve the management of the project’s milling machine control system. We implemented an IntelliCENTER Allen-Bradly smart motor control center, including the MCCs 2000 amp main switchboard, which allowed for real-time feedback on conditions and speeds of each individual motor in use at all times – enabling more efficient running throughout production lines. Our sister company, ICAD Automation, provided engineering and design expertise as well.

We pride ourselves on our ability to execute correctly and deliver quality engineering and electrical work on projects like this that often require custom solutions, creative engineering and industry experts to deliver. – Joel Ratto, General Manager, ICAD Automation

Our experience in all stages of electrical or automation projects allows us to manage jobs like these more efficiently and safely, ensuring local construction work is done correctly and on time. As the fertilizer plant went online, our engineers were on hand to ensure the launch and hand-off were successful.
