Our registered engineers and highly experienced technical staff, develop innovative solutions designed to optimize the process, maximize the output, while adhering to the strictest quality of service procedures at cost-effective prices.

While our competitors wonder how our company is expanding at such remarkable growth; we are proud to show some of our newest developments on our clients’ sites within the past year. Here are just a few of our recent engineering projects:

City in Southern California

  • Re-engineered and installed wireless SCADA
    systems for the public works department
  • Designed a solar powered control panel that was
    integrated into SCADA system.
  • Installed and configured a unified threat
    management system to protect the city’s
    SCADA network.
  • Resolved a communication interference issue
    within the wireless SCADA network.
  • Enabled remote access to the SCADA system
    allowing offsite access and control of the
    SCADA system.
  • Utilized GPS co-ordinates and spectrum analyzers
    to conduct a radio survey.

Results:

  • Saved thousands of dollars by preventing the
    overflowing of tank and reservoir, since the new
    system can update and report real-time level &
    alarming.
  • AES was able to reduce time required by
    operators and maintenance crew.
  • Managed the level of water supply to meet the
    level of demand effectively and efficiently.
  • Eliminated the remote system downtime due to
    insufficient solar power.
  • Remote access of SCADA system from off-site
    networks.

Bio Diesel Plant

  • Integrated Meterwin tank gauging system.
  • Modified temperature monitoring and control
    system to obtain higher accuracy.
  • Installed a unified threat management system to
    safeguard their plant control network.
  • Optimized the existing PLC program to improve
    process performance and reliability.
  • Specified and integrated instrumentation to
    improve process control.
  • Revised the HMI system to improve safety and
    accessibility.
  • Provided continuous on-call engineering and
    support.

Results:

  • AES was able to reduce custody transfer time as
    well as minimize down time, and generate faster
    reporting and billing.
  • Improved PID control loop response, which in
    turn produced higher quality bio-diesel.
  • Biodiesel production increased by 50%
  • Revisions to HMI improved operator’s utilization
    of the system to maximize their productivity.

Utility Plant

  • Re-engineered the stand by generator
    control system.
  • Upgraded the user interface and compiled it to
    the control system via a touch screen.
  • Increased functionality of the load bank
    simulation system.
  • Improved overall generator performance,
    reliability and efficiency.
  • Provided remote load-shed capability using
    Modbus over RS-422 serial communication.

Results:

  • The new Generator Control System restored
    lost functionality to obsolete, malfunctioning,
    backup generator controls.
  • AES enabled the company to meet the state
    regulated 5 second requirement for the
    generators to come on line.
  • We added features that would allow for full
    operational testing of the generator system.
  • The new touch screen operator interface gave
    personnel more control with less navigation time
    and was easier to use.
  • A renewed load shedding system gave the
    control system the capability to remotely drop
    loads from system.

Oil Corporation

  • Implemented and integrated the Industrial
    Defender Enterprise network security system to
    protect their automation network.
  • Installed and configured a data historian
    along with a web-enabled trending and
    reporting package.
  • Developed and implemented custom leak
    detection algorithm.
  • Redeveloped their HMI and SCADA monitoring
    and control system.
  • Connected tank farm monitoring into the SCADA/
    HMI system.
  • Provided continuous on-site engineering support.

Results:

  • The company is now saves millions of dollars per
    year as a result of AES’s turn-key solution.
  • AES was able to reduce custody transfer time as
    well as minimize down time, and generate faster
    reporting and billing.
  • With the help of new cutting-edge SCADA
    systems, the company can now run two
    tank-farms and two trading ports with minimal
    operators and minute maintenance.
  • Operator training with the new system was
    reduced from 21 days to 10 days.
