A PROJECT I’M PROUD OF
A couple of years ago, I implemented an automation system for a sugar production facility — the chamber press filter station used for suspension filtration. During this project, I created a 3D model of the collector piping and actuator layout, developed the control algorithm from scratch on a VIPA 300s PLC, and fully built the interfaces for a Weintek HMI panel and a WinCC Professional SCADA system.
This was my first PLC, SCADA, and HMI project that I completed entirely on my own. The most rewarding part was seeing the 3D model come to life and watching the mechanisms operate exactly as I had defined in the logic.

Our production line wants to create an awareness dashboard with modern web technology. We want to extract data logs via Weintek, as our current system uses Siemens PLCs and HMI. The old vendor used Siemens environment tools like WinCC and TIA Portal to create a dashboard, but we can't afford to purchase a license. So we've decided to extend our topology using Weintek instead.

In 2023, we commissioned a 12-Stand Continuous Rolling Line with the following specifications:
• Commissioned using Allen-Bradley CompactLogix PLC and FactoryTalk View SCADA.
• Ethernet IP communication Siemens AC Drives for Relay Lines, Cassette, Comb, Chains, Aramakas, and Profibus communication Sprint DC Drives for Rolling Stands and Reel.
• Monitoring and control provided with FactoryTalk View SCADA and Weintek HMI.
• Ethernet switches for short-distance RIO and drive communications, and fiber optic switches for distances of 50 meters and above.
• A Recipe application was prepared using VisualBasic Script via SCADA for storing parameters related to pulled products.
• A Reporting system was prepared using SQL-supported Weintek HMI and MSSQL for remote access and statistics.

🚀 Smart Monitoring Center: Connecting Generation in Real Time
Key advance in the project: Intelligent Monitoring Center, designed to integrate and supervise in real time the Cumbayá, Nayón, Pasochoa, Guangopolo, Gualberto Hernández Thermal Power Plant (broker) and soon the Hidrovictoria Power Plant.
The system is based on advanced Weintek model cMT-FHDX-820 HMI devices, programmed with macros in C language for the calculation and processing of production and consumption data. In addition, the graphical interface was developed in Easy Builder Pro and the information was taken from a Quantum Shcneider PLC in each plant. Each central is connected through a WAN network, sending its critical variables to a central node, and all the information is stored and visualized on the WeinCloud web platform, through executive dashboards.
🔹 Key Benefits:
✅ Real-time monitoring of critical electrical and mechanical parameters.
✅ Centralized and remote management of operational information.
✅ Greater resilience and continuity of the electricity system.
✅ Optimized daily and monthly reports in the cloud.
✅ Preparation for a scalable, digital and sustainable model.
The integration of state-of-the-art hardware, specialized programming, and cloud platforms paves the way for more efficient, secure, and reliable energy management. 🌍⚡

Finishing the simulation phase with a Treatment Plant client, this time with no major difficulty, but the client required a greater number of operating options so it has been quite complex.
✔️ Siemens S7-1510 PLC.
✔️ Weintek HMI.
✔️ IXON router.
✔️ Remote Access.
After this phase, the FAT and SAT tests await us, and finally the commissioning.
