FAQs About Our Industrial Automation and Electricity Service

Industrial automation is the use of technology to control and monitor industrial operations, typically involving machinery and computer systems. Industrial process control, on the other hand, is a specific type of automation that focuses on maintaining a desired output from an industrial process.

The difference is mainly in approach and scope, although they are often integrated in practice.

When we talk about industrial automation, we are referring to the design and implementation of the control system that governs how a machine or a line operates: operation sequences, coordination between equipment, interlocks, alarms and maintenance-oriented diagnostics, in addition to the integration of sensors, actuators, drives/servos and industrial networks.

Industrial process control focuses on ensuring that critical process variables are kept stable and within specification (e.g., temperature, pressure, flow rate, level, or dosage), by applying regulation and supervision strategies to ensure repeatability, quality, and stability.

In most projects, automation defines the overall behaviour of the facility and process control ensures the stability of the variables that determine the production outcome.

What type of industrial electrical panels do you work with?

At Grupo TICE, we design and manufacture industrial electrical panels adapted to the process and maintenance criteria of each plant. Depending on the need, we work with:

  • Power panels: oriented towards electrical distribution and protection of loads, dimensioned for real demand and prepared for stable operation.

  • Control panels: dedicated to manoeuvring, signalling, and interlocks, with an organised design to facilitate diagnosis and maintenance.

  • Automation panels: integrating PLCs, industrial communications, and associated equipment (e.g., drives/servos), to govern line logic and improve operational control.

In all cases, we prioritise design clarity, security, documentation, and maintainability, so that the framework is reliable today and expandable tomorrow.

What documentation is provided in the manufacturing of industrial electrical panels?

In the manufacturing of industrial electrical panels, at Grupo TICE, we deliver the necessary documentation to ensure that the installation is traceable, maintainable, and ready for audits or future expansions. Depending on the project's scope, it usually includes:

  • Single-line diagram and developed diagram of the panel.

  • Terminal block diagrams and terminal/cable lists for easier field intervention.

  • Lists of materials and components (BOM) and main references.

  • “As-built” documentation, reflecting the panel as it has been finally assembled.

  • Identification and labelling according to agreed criteria for maintenance.

If the project requires it, we also incorporate the documentation associated with applicable checks and security criteria.

How do you carry out the migration of obsolete PLCs and platforms?

At Grupo TICE, we carry out the migration of PLCs and obsolete platforms with a focus on operational continuity: we replace the old controller with a current platform, maintaining the process logic and leaving the system validated to reduce risks from obsolescence and critical shutdowns.

We typically work like this: first, we analyse the current state of the system (PLC, HMI, signals, peripherals, and communications) and define a migration strategy compatible with your production. Then, we transfer and optimise the existing logic so that the process performs the same or better, incorporating clear diagnostics for operation and maintenance. Finally, we carry out tests and commissioning on-site, verifying the operation in phases and documenting the changes so that the system remains stable and maintainable.

When is the modernisation of industrial control systems advisable?

It is advisable to consider retrofitting an industrial control system when the system is still operational but starts posing operational risks or limiting the plant. At Grupo TICE, we typically recommend it when one or more of the following scenarios arise:

  • Actual obsolescence: PLCs/HMIs unsupported, with no spare parts or with delivery times incompatible with line criticality.

  • Difficult to diagnose stops and failures: intermittent incidents, unhelpful alarms or ever-increasing resolution times.

  • Production changes: new references, extensions, integration of equipment (drive/servo/sensors) or need for more control capacity.

  • Safety and compliance: when process modification demands a review of safety functions and regulatory adjustments.

  • Requirement for data and traceability: when the plant needs to improve process monitoring, quality control or event logging.

The key, from a technical standpoint, is to do it in a planned way: define the scope, minimise production impact, and validate functionality so that the retrofit translates into stability and operational continuity.

La visión artificial se integra en proyectos de automatización industrial de diversas maneras, permitiendo a las máquinas "ver" e interpretar el mundo que les rodea. Esto se consigue mediante cámaras y software especializado que procesan imágenes para realizar tareas que tradicionalmente requerirían intervención humana.A continuación, se detallan algunas de las integraciones más comunes:* **Inspección de Calidad y Detección de Defectos:** * **Identificación de productos defectuosos:** Las cámaras inspeccionan productos en la línea de producción para detectar imperfecciones como arañazos, abolladuras, decoloraciones, componentes faltantes o mal ensamblados. * **Verificación de la presencia de componentes:** Se asegura de que todas las partes de un producto estén presentes y en la posición correcta. * **Medición y verificación de dimensiones:** Comprueba si las dimensiones de los productos cumplen con las especificaciones.* **Guía de Robots (Robot Guidance):** * **Recogida y colocación (Pick and Place):** Los robots equipados con visión artificial pueden localizar objetos con precisión, incluso si su posición varía ligeramente en la cinta transportadora o en un contenedor, para recogerlos y colocarlos en su destino. * **Ensamblaje:** La visión guía a los robots para alinear y ensamblar piezas con alta precisión.* **Navegación y Guía de Vehículos Autónomos (AGVs/AMRs):** * **Navegación:** Los AGVs (Vehículos Guiados Automáticamente) y AMRs (Robots Móviles Autónomos) utilizan la visión artificial para navegar por el almacén o la fábrica, detectando obstáculos, identificando rutas y evitando colisiones.* **Lectura de Códigos y Etiquetas:** * **Lectura de códigos de barras y códigos QR:** Identifica y lee información codificada en productos para seguimiento, inventario y trazabilidad. * **Lectura de etiquetas (OCR - Optical Character Recognition):** Lee texto impreso en etiquetas, como números de lote, fechas de caducidad o números de serie.* **Seguimiento de Procesos:** * **Monitorización del rendimiento de la maquinaria:** La visión artificial puede observar el funcionamiento de las máquinas para detectar anomalías o ineficiencias. * **Control de flujo de materiales:** Asegura que los materiales se muevan correctamente a lo largo de la línea de producción.* **Paletización y Despaletización:** * **Identificación de productos para apilamiento:** Los sistemas de visión determinan la forma y orientación de los productos para apilarlos eficientemente en palets. * **Desmontaje de palets:** Identifica y guía a los robots para retirar productos de un palet.**Cómo se integra técnicamente:**La integración típicamente implica:1. **Captura de Imagen:** Cámaras (monocromáticas, a color, 3D, térmicas) se colocan estratégicamente para capturar imágenes de la zona de interés. 2. **Procesamiento de Imagen:** Un ordenador o un dispositivo de procesamiento dedicado analiza las imágenes utilizando algoritmos de visión artificial. Estos algoritmos pueden incluir detección de bordes, reconocimiento de patrones, segmentación de imágenes y aprendizaje automático. 3. **Toma de Decisiones:** El software interpreta los resultados del análisis de imagen y toma decisiones basadas en reglas predefinidas o modelos de aprendizaje automático. 4. **Ejecución de Acciones:** Estas decisiones se envían a otros sistemas de automatización, como robots, PLC (Controladores Lógicos Programables) o sistemas de control de máquinas, para que ejecuten una acción (por ejemplo, rechazar un producto, mover un brazo robótico, detener una cinta transportadora).La visión artificial es una tecnología clave que aumenta la eficiencia, la calidad, la seguridad y la flexibilidad en los entornos de automatización industrial.

At Grupo TICE, we integrate machine vision as part of the automation system so that quality control and traceability are aligned with production logic and maintenance.

First, we define the inspection objective (presence/absence, code reading, process verification, guidance, etc.) and the actual working conditions (speed, lighting, product variability). Then, we design the integration architecture: camera, lighting if applicable, communications and signal/data exchange with PLC/HMI (rejection, stops, alarms, and logging). Finally, we carry out commissioning and validation on-site, adjusting parameters and establishing clear acceptance criteria and records for traceability and auditing.

If you wish, contact us and we will analyse your case to define the most suitable artificial vision solution, integrate it with your automation, and have it validated for production, quality, and traceability.

Do you offer support and ongoing improvements after an industrial automation project?

Yes, of course. At Grupo TICE, we understand that an industrial automation project doesn't end on the day of commissioning. We stay close to the client to ensure the system continues to run stably and to support any future plant needs.

We offer technical support for incidents, operational adjustments, performance enhancements, and extensions as processes evolve. Furthermore, we work with a continuity approach: we maintain system consistency, ensure change traceability, and help ensure that maintenance and production always have reliable control.

If you need support or want to propose an improvement, contact us and we'll review it with you in an agile and technical way.

How much does an industrial automation and electrical service cost?

The cost of an industrial automation and electrical service primarily depends on the scope of the project and the condition of the installation. Intervening on an existing line is not the same as developing a complete solution, nor do factors such as the complexity of the process, the number of signals/equipment to integrate, the criticality of downtime, the documentation and verification requirements, or whether obsolete equipment needs to be modernised, have the same impact.

At Grupo TICE, we work with a technical approach: we define the scope, identify risks, and propose a solution tailored to the plant's reality, ensuring the investment is coherent and justifiable.

If you tell us your needs and the context of the installation, we will prepare a tailored technical assessment and proposal. Get in touch and we'll review it with you.
