The client manufactures surface preparation equipment — shot blasting and sand blasting machines used in foundries, forging units and metal finishing shops. These machines sequence abrasive handling, blast wheels, conveyors, dust collection and safety interlocks, which puts a real control requirement behind what looks from outside like a mechanical product.
The Challenge
The client needed a complete PLC solution for their shot blasting machine build — spanning I/O planning, product selection and programming support — without the friction of coordinating separately with multiple vendors for hardware and technical support. Splitting the two means every question about a configuration turns into a three-way conversation, and the build waits while it happens.
The Solution
Shree Vijayvargiya Technologies provided full-cycle support, following the same approach used with other panel and machine manufacturers:
- I/O identification — mapping out the machine's control requirements, around 100 digital I/O points and 6 analog I/O points.
- Feature and product selection — recommending the right Omron PLC configuration for the application.
- Pricing support — helping the client plan costs accurately.
- Timely delivery — keeping the build on schedule.
- Programming support — assisting with PLC programming to get the machine running without delays.
The Result
The client received a fully supported PLC solution — from initial I/O planning through to programming — with SVT acting as a single technical partner rather than just a parts supplier. As a recent project, the relationship is still early-stage, but it reflects the same full-cycle support model that has turned similar engagements, such as the water treatment panel manufacturer, into repeat business.
Why They Chose SVT
- Omron authorized supply with configuration guidance.
- End-to-end support from I/O planning to programming.
- Single point of contact instead of managing multiple vendors.
Products Involved
At roughly 100 digital and 6 analog points, the build sits comfortably in the Omron CP series range, with panel components — relays, timers and power supplies — and sensors supplied alongside. Where the machine required guarded access and interlocks, safety components were included in the same scope.
One Partner for Hardware and Control Engineering
For a machine builder, the value of a combined supply-and-support arrangement is measured in the questions that never have to be escalated. When the same team that quoted the CPU also helped write the I/O list and can look at the program, a wiring query or an analog scaling problem gets resolved in a call instead of a ticket. That is the working model SVT offers to special purpose machine manufacturers.
