01 · The challenge
A Scottish producer needed to expand a fish-waste-to-biodiesel operation without losing control of a process made up of many moving products, stages and field devices.
Monitor Systems designed a semi-automated control and monitoring system that connects material handling, motor control, level visibility and operator access into one future-ready platform.

Process automation
The control system coordinates augers, pumps, conveyors and valves while tracking tank, vessel and hopper levels across the plant.
Operator control
Multiple Siemens Unified Comfort HMI panels provide local visualisation and a straightforward operating experience for the people running the plant.
Expansion readiness
A high-speed network backbone gives the facility a practical route to additional process equipment and future modifications as requirements change.
03 · Delivery
The project combines robust hardware with clear control logic, so the facility can improve efficiency today and adapt as its operation evolves.
