What we solve

The technical questions that matter before the quote.

In compounding, quality comes from repeatability: weights, times, sequences and data must be consistent from the first batch to the last.

01

Non-integrated weighing

Scales, enables and thresholds must enter the logic in a controlled and verifiable way.

02

Recipes exposed to errors

Protected parameters, user levels and change history reduce unwanted variations.

03

Poorly tracked sequences

Mixing, times, temperatures and states must be reconstructable per batch.

04

Fragmented diagnostics

Operator and maintenance must immediately see which phase or enable is blocking the cycle.

From field to data

One single flow between machine, panel, software and testing.

D&D builds control across field, panel, PLC/HMI and supervision to make recipes, weighing, states and batches readable without weighing down production.

Automation designed for those who have to produce, verify and maintain.

A reliable recipe isn't just a list of parameters: it's a controlled sequence, verifiable and understandable by the people who produce.

Field

Sensors, actuators and real signals

Survey of critical signals, machine conditions, field networks and operating constraints.

02
Panel

Power, machine side and safety

Electrical schematic, I/O, drives and components organised for testing and maintenance.

03
PLC / HMI / SCADA

Logic, diagnostics and data

Sequences, recipes, alarms, trends and operator pages built around the process.

04
Testing

FAT, start-up and restart

Functional tests, checks with the customer and field support through to production.

Typical applications

Where the intervention has to create control, not complexity.

Each sector page goes into the detail of the areas where D&D can bring electrical, software, testing and operational support.

Application

Weighing and scales

Signal integration, thresholds, enables and tolerance checks.

Application

Ingredient dosing

Sequences, recipes, actuators and process checks.

Application

Mixing

Times, temperatures, cycle states and protected parameters.

Application

Batch traceability

Recipe history, events, alarms and production data.

Application

Operator HMI

Pages for operation, maintenance, alarms and restarts.

Application

Plant revamping

PLC/HMI migration and panel upgrade with functional tests.

D&D method

First understand the process, then write the software.

On compounding plants you don't need a generic solution. You need a technical reading of constraints, signals, downtime, operators and real goals.

Protected recipes Integrated weighing Reconstructable batch
A
Analysis

Technical constraints and production goal

We collect documentation, plant status, recurring problems and the expected result.

B
Design

Consistent electrical and software

Panel, PLC, HMI and supervision are designed as one operating system.

C
Testing

Tests before the field

Critical functions are tested to reduce the risk at start-up.

D
Start-up

Support through to production

The final step is making the solution usable by operators and maintenance.

Operational questions

Quick answers before the first technical discussion.

Can you integrate existing scales and dosing systems?

Yes, after checking the current signals, protocols, tolerances and logic. The goal is to bring weighing and dosing into a controlled flow.

How do you protect recipes?

With structured parameters, user levels, change management and HMI pages designed to reduce operating errors.

Is batch traceability always necessary?

It depends on the process. When needed, we define which data to keep: recipe, weights, times, temperatures, events, alarms and operators.

What is needed to get started?

Plant schematic, ingredient or phase list, installed PLC/HMI, scales or instruments present, quality issues and the goal of the intervention.
