Case Study

To meet the demands of this complex project, Hills Electrical Group was commissioned to design and implement the complete control system for the new paint mix room.

Our role encompassed the creation of a sophisticated control system that included:

• Control Software: Developed custom software to manage and optimise the paint mixing process, ensuring precision and consistency in every batch.
• Control Panels: Designed and installed control panels that provide a centralised interface for operating and monitoring the paint mix systems.
• Human-Machine Interface (HMI): Implemented a user-friendly touch screen HMI that allows operators to easily interact with the system, view real-time data, and adjust as needed.

The installation process involved setting up a comprehensive range of systems, including:

• 6 Resin Systems: For precise mixing and application of resin-based paints.
• 2 Zinc-Rich Systems: To handle paints with high zinc content, essential for certain protective coatings.
• 6 Hardener Systems: Ensuring the correct mixing of hardeners to achieve the desired paint properties.
• 1 Solvent Flush System: For efficient cleaning and maintenance of the paint application equipment.

The installation was executed in two phases, each carefully planned to navigate the challenges posed by Covid lockdowns.

The first phase, which took 15 days, and the second phase, dedicating 40 days, were completed with meticulous attention to detail and adherence to safety protocols.

Results

The successful completion of the project delivered significant benefits to Liebherr:

• Enhanced Efficiency: The automated paint mix room has streamlined the paint application process, reducing manual intervention and increasing operational efficiency.
• Increased Productivity: With the new system in place, Liebherr has seen a notable boost in production capacity, allowing for more parts to be processed in less time.
• Improved Quality: The advanced control systems and automated processes have significantly improved the consistency and quality of the paint finishes, meeting the high standards required for Liebherr’s products.
