System Engineering from Dowding & Mills - market leaders in Engineering, Calibration & Electronics. Dowding & Mills provides the complete in-house solution to design, supply, manufacture, procurement, installation and commissioning service for all instrument/electrical control systems.
System engineering involves the design and manufacture of the following elements: Control panels, consoles, instrument test panels, pneumatic test panels, control desks, instrument and mimic panels, motor control centres for AC and DC machines, control systems and guarding for process machinery and packaged process analyser systems for the oil, gas and chemical process industries, assembly and test machines and special purpose machines. The application of programmable logic controllers, SCADA systems to process and machinery control applications are also a part of system design together with the maintenance and service of electrical or instrument plant.
The design and manufacture of pneumatically and electrically operated pick and place units, motion control systems for retrofitting to existing machines and the design and writing of control programmes including HMI graphics, item labelling, bar code reading and data acquisition are further elements of Dowding & Mills system engineering. The key sectors of systems engineering are, project management, engineering and design, software, manufacturing, refurbishment and installation and commissioning.
Project management, engineering and design
Dowding & Mills provide a total in-house design facility to all
industries for the management and control of their production processes.
Design is completed to National and International standards and codes
to satisfy individual specifications and requirements.
All design work is prepared, reviewed and verified in compliance with
BS EN ISO 9001. Dowding & Mills use the latest version of AutoCAD
with laser and inkjet printer equipment to ensure the best quality output.
A consultation service is available to customers who require assistance
with project definition including site survey to plan and quantification
of the work scope.
Project management activities include planning, control of in-house
works, end user liaison, resource allocation, control of sub0contracted
works, procurement facilities, provision of labour, site supervision
and commissioning co-ordination. Larger multi-disciplined projects can
be undertaken utilising site services and mechanical companies within
the Dowding & Mills group.
Software
Dowding & Mills' in-house capabilities include software preparation,
verification and testing for most PLC systems including Siemens,
Rockwell Automation, Mitsubishi, Group Schneider (Modicon) GE
Fanuc and Toshiba. Graphical operator interfaces (HMI's) and data
acquisition systems can also be configured, as can many SCADA
packages.
All programmable hardware can be fully integrated into complete control
systems for most industrial processes and machines. Applications can
be provided for chemical, pharmaceutical, brewing, water, automotive,
paper, oil and gas industries.
Software projects range from small stand-alone PLC's to large networked
and Industrial Bus systems. Motion control packages such s Baldor (Optimised
Control) and Triomotion can also be provided. Applications can include
anything from existing machine retrofits to complete new process control
solutions.
Manufacturing
Dowding & Mills offers a comprehensive manufacturing service for
all instrument/electrical systems including control panels, mimics,
test panels, motor control centres, switchgear, pneumatic control, hazardous
area equipment, PLC and SCADA based control systems.
Integrated solutions, including pneumatics, switchgear and skid mounted
equipment can be provided and extensive workshop facilities allow the
manufacture of large combined MCC/control/PLC/telemetry panels.
Manufacturing projects, including PLC control, mechanical assemblies,
motion control and electrical installation can be undertaken as Dowding
& Mills provides a one-stop solution for the most complex applications.
Vibration/temperature monitoring, IS equipment, nucleonic level equipment
and analyser units can all be incorporated into stand alone panels or
'Pre-assembled units' skid mounted, interconnected and functionally
tested to minimise installation and commissioning activities on site.
Refurbishment
Dowding & Mills offer a range of refurbishment capabilities
from small starter cubicles to complete electro-mechanical reclamation
of industrial machines including presses, borers, lathes and milling
machines. This can be fully integrated with new pneumatic and
electrical control systems providing a cost effective complete
solution.
Hydraulic and electrical refurbishment work together with high
quality re-painting resulting in equipment being returned to near
original specification with controls and safety circuits to the
latest standards.
Installation and Commissioning
Dowding & Mills offer a full installation and commissioning service
for all systems including instrument and electrical disciplines together
with mechanical services. Installation and commissioning work can be
undertaken onshore and offshore throughout the UK and world-wide.
Pipework can be installed using compression fittings or Dowding &
Mills' fully automated tube welding system. Hazardous area equipment
can be supplied, installed and tested to the latest CENELEC and ATEX
directives.
Dowding & Mills has the registered approval
and Quality Assurance Management Standards of NQA (National Accreditation
of Certification Bodies BS EN ISO 9001:1994), MOD (Ministry of Defence)
approval, First Point Assessment and enrolment as an approved contractor
with the National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting. Dowding & Mills - Engineering, Calibration & Electronics Services |
