Seed cleaning plant upgrade
 

Objectives:
Elsom Seeds operates a large-scale seed cleaning and processing plant equipped with conveyor belts, elevators, and storage bins—all requiring advanced automation to maintain efficiency and precision. The company needed a complete electrical upgrade to support new machinery and streamline operations. Our team was entrusted with delivering a modern, fully integrated system that would enhance productivity and allow remote monitoring capabilities.

​
The Challenges:
The scope of the project evolved significantly during installation, requiring us to adapt quickly and diversify our approach. Our ability to respond to changing requirements ensured that the client’s needs were met without compromising timelines or quality.

The Process:

We began by removing all existing wiring and outdated control panels to create a clean foundation for the new installation. Next, we installed robust cable containment systems designed to accommodate the latest equipment and ensure long-term reliability. The project involved a full rewiring of the plant and the integration of advanced touch-screen control panels, providing operators with intuitive and efficient control over the entire process.To achieve seamless automation, we developed and implemented custom programming and software tailored to the client’s specific requirements. This included writing logic for conveyor systems, elevators, and storage bins to ensure synchronised operation. Once the installation was complete, we carried out comprehensive testing and commissioning, verifying that every component worked flawlessly and met stringent safety standards.

 

The Outcome:

The new automated system has transformed the plant’s operations. It is far less labour-intensive for production staff, reducing manual intervention and improving overall efficiency. Additionally, the system can now be monitored and controlled remotely from anywhere in the world, giving the client unprecedented flexibility and oversight. This upgrade not only optimises productivity but also positions Elsoms Seeds for future growth and technological advancements.
