What does an industrial automation service include?
An industrial automation service may include control-system architecture, electronics design, embedded development, electrical schematics, control panel engineering, PLC programming, HMI development, sensor and actuator integration, industrial communication, and commissioning support. The exact scope depends on the project requirements.
Can GMD Services provide both electrical design and PLC programming?
Yes. Electrical design and PLC programming can be delivered as one coordinated engineering package. This helps ensure that the electrical hardware, I/O configuration, sensors, actuators, drives, and control software are compatible.
Can you provide only PLC programming?
Yes. PLC programming can be provided as an individual service when the mechanical system, electrical design, and selected control hardware are already available.
What is the difference between PLC programming and embedded systems development?
PLC programming is generally used to control industrial machines and production processes using standard industrial automation hardware. Embedded systems use dedicated electronic hardware and firmware for specialized control, processing, monitoring, or communication functions. Some projects may use both technologies within the same system.
Can you develop a custom electronic control board?
Yes. Our Electronics Design Services can cover circuit architecture, schematic development, PCB layout, component selection, prototype support, and manufacturing documentation for custom electronic control boards.
Can you modify an existing automation system?
Yes. We can review and modify existing PLC programs, HMI screens, electrical drawings, control panels, electronics, or embedded firmware. The existing hardware, source files, documentation, and machine condition must be reviewed before confirming the scope.
Do you support control panel manufacturing?
We can provide control panel engineering documentation and support panel assembly, wiring review, testing, and troubleshooting when these activities are included in the project scope.
Do you provide on-site commissioning?
Remote commissioning support can be included in the project. On-site commissioning depends on the machine location, project requirements, schedule, and separate commercial agreement.
