Industries Served

Making a measurable difference for businesses in a wide range of industries.

Life Sciences and Biotechnology

Life Sciences and Biotechnology

The life sciences and biotechnology industry benefits from a wide breadth of ACC solutions: process automation of development and manufacturing processes, electronic documentation for tracking manual and automated operations, technology for bioreactor controls, and “Track & Trace” of materials, as well as the operators and equipment used in production. Regardless of the specific requirements or project, ACC follows a highly structured “requirements-first” methodology based on GAMP 5 that results in systems and documentation that can be more easily qualified for GMP use.

Medical Device

Medical Device

Medical device manufactures rely on the process and machine automation of development and manufacturing processes, electronic device history records, and manufacturing intelligence applications, such as plant dashboards. Regardless of the specific requirements or project, ACC follows a highly structured “requirements-first” methodology based on GAMP 5 that results in systems and documentation that can be more easily qualified for GMP use.

Water and Wastewater

Water and Wastewater

In addition to the control and monitoring of treatment plants and remote sites such as booster pump stations, tank sites, wells, lift stations, and interconnects, the communication between the central SCADA system and remote site RTUs or controllers is critical. More customers are beginning to require backup communication paths to critical remote sites. ACC can tailor an approach to communications consisting of cellular, licensed and unlicensed radios, and broadband networks. In addition to the control of monitoring of equipment, ACC delivers the information these customers increasingly require with historians and web-based portals and reporting applications for information such as system delivery metrics, chemical usage, system demand and pumpage, and asset utilization (i.e., pump running hours).

Consumer Packaged Goods

Consumer Packaged Goods

Productivity, downtime reduction, ease of operation and flexibility are the focus of ACC’s solutions targeted at both process and packaging.
Automated recipe and batch management solutions allow easy product changeover, introduction and testing of new products and consistent operation interfaces that reduce operator training and human error.

Projects that focus on performance (OEE), quality (SPC), material traceability and enterprise integration help our customers gain a competitive advantage through the application of technology solutions that target their pain points and provide a fast return on investment.

Campuses: Universities, Hospitals and Medical Facilities

Campuses: Universities, Hospitals and Medical Facilities

The reliability and availability of power, steam, and chilled water are critical to the 24/7/365 operations of these facilities. Equally important is accurate data collection and reporting.

ACC develops systems to control the balance of plant components and integrate the OEM systems typical of these plants – HRSG, boilers, cogen, and chillers – into a complete central SCADA. Data collection, reporting and alarm notifications are features on top of the basic control and visualization that are typically included in these mission critical systems. The visualization and reporting of energy consumption enables customers to benchmark the true cost of their operations, inspires green initiatives and enables department or area billing based on actual energy usage.

Oil and Gas

Oil and Gas

Refineries and pipelines are demanding environments, often requiring solutions to meet hazardous duty environments and a high degree of redundancy. Controller architectures involving redundant controllers, networks, servers, or all the above, are typical. Process automation logic often involves extensive interlocks, sequencing and multiple modes of operation. In addition, modern control systems implemented by ACC must exchange information and alarms with legacy plant control systems, often based on DCS platforms. ACC delivers strategies and solutions for meeting the varying and complex needs of the petrochemical industry

Specialty Chemical

Specialty Chemical

Specialty chemical developers and manufacturers require extensive solutions for process automation based on variable sequences requiring S88-oriented batch and recipe management. Hazardous duty environments and a high degree of redundancy are often required. Controller architectures involving redundant controllers, networks, servers, or all the above, are typical. Process automation logic often involves extensive interlocks, sequencing, and multiple modes of operation. In addition, modern control systems implemented by ACC must exchange information and alarms with legacy plant control systems, often based on DCS platforms. ACC delivers strategies and solutions for meeting the varying and complex needs of the specialty chemical industry.

Transportation

Transportation

Transportation authorities demand automation and SCADA solutions for applications such as tunnel ventilation, traction power distribution and monitoring, and rail/light rail SCADA systems. Many of these applications are critical systems that require redundancy. ACC implements solutions based on robust industrial control technology and SCADA software to meet these critical requirements.
