Boiler Automation
Scope & approach
Steamtech Engineering needed to modernise boiler automation programs and support end-customer commissioning. As an OEM, Steamtech installs across multiple end-customer sites, so the work had to lift ageing legacy code onto a current platform while staying suitable for repeat deployment rather than a single bespoke job. Metromotion Controls migrated the legacy code base onto current automation platforms and verified the migrated logic against the field through structured I/O testing before commissioning. This helped create a more consistent control baseline across new installations.
What was delivered
- Legacy boiler programs were migrated onto current platforms and verified through I/O testing, giving Steamtech a more maintainable base for repeat OEM deployment.
- Commissioning support extended from the OEM workshop through to the Steamtech end-customer sites.
- New installations benefited from a more consistent controls baseline across the product range.
Scope items
- PLC program migration from legacy to current automation platforms
- I/O testing and on-site commissioning activities for new installations
- Ongoing engineering support to Steamtech end customers post-commissioning
