Most automated factories rely on PLC programming and automation for their manufacturing processes. PLCs carry out machine learning and logic-based learning decisions to aid efficiency and automate the control process of industrial machinery so they need to be programmed well in order to maximise efficiency.
Not all electricians have the experience or training in PLC-related work but here at Horsell Electrical, we love the more technical aspects of industrial electrical jobs for factories and warehouses
Horsell Electrical in Newcastle can help you with troubleshooting, repairs and maintenance, backups of your code, replacing older PLCs, breakdown and project support.
Some of the brands that Horsell Electrical works with include Allen Bradley, Siemens, Omron, GE, Schneider, Mitsubishi, Delta and Beckhoff.
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are the cornerstone of industrial automation applications, and they rely on specific programming languages to control and manage various processes within manufacturing environments. Several programming languages are commonly used in PLCs to suit different application requirements.
Our PLC programmer chooses the most suitable language based on the specific automation application's requirements, ease of maintenance, and the expertise of the engineering team. These languages, along with their adaptability, ensure that industrial automation systems efficiently and reliably manage and control processes in diverse manufacturing settings.
Horsell Electrical, a leading name in the automation industry, places a strong emphasis on PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) programming to optimise the management of automated systems. Our specialisation lies in creating state-of-the-art automation solutions for various industries, with PLC programming as a cornerstone of modern industrial automation.
Our team of highly skilled automation engineers excels in crafting efficient and tailored PLC programs to meet specific industrial requirements. Whether it involves streamlining manufacturing processes, overseeing complex systems, or enhancing overall efficiency, Horsell’s expertise in PLC programming ensures the seamless and optimised operation of our clients' systems.
In today's advanced manufacturing facilities, automation industries leverage PLC programming to oversee robotic arms, conveyor systems, and various production machinery. The PLC code is meticulously designed to respond to sensor inputs, enabling real-time decision-making to optimise manufacturing processes and swiftly address any issues that may arise.
Beyond efficiency, PLC programming plays a pivotal role in enhancing the safety standards of automation industries. By integrating safety protocols and emergency shutdown procedures into the code, PLCs can react swiftly to potential hazards, thereby reducing risks and safeguarding both workers and equipment.
The flexibility inherent in PLC programming is a further boon for automation industries. As production requirements evolve or new products are introduced, PLC code can be easily adjusted or updated to accommodate these changes, offering a cost-effective solution to meet evolving demands.
The effectiveness of automation industries significantly hinges on the expertise of our dedicated PLC programmers. Horsell Electrical are able to service the whole Newcastle area and has played a vital role in designing efficient and reliable automation systems in various industrial manufacturing situations, ensuring the seamless operation of processes in adherence to industry standards.
Incorporating PLC programming into a business operation comes with an associated expense. The precise cost hinges on an array of factors, encompassing the size and intricacy of the application. Though this initial cost might pose a barrier for certain businesses, it's crucial to bear in mind that PLCs are typically regarded as an investment due to their potential to enhance productivity and output.

Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) serve as vital communication portals between humans and machines, facilitating interaction and control in various systems. These interfaces range from simple buttons and switches to advanced touchscreens and voice commands, enabling seamless operation across industries like manufacturing, automotive, and automation. If you need these systems updated or reconfigured they will need programming by experienced and qualified electrical engineers.
Calibrating, programming, and configuring an HMI demands technical expertise, particularly in electrical systems. An electrician possesses the necessary knowledge of circuitry, wiring, and power distribution to ensure proper functionality and safety. They handle intricate tasks such as voltage adjustments, signal routing, and troubleshooting potential issues, guaranteeing optimal performance and compliance with regulations. Their proficiency safeguards against electrical hazards and system malfunctions, emphasising the crucial role of an electrician in HMI integration so let Horsell Electrical calibrate and configure these systems safely for, whatever your industrial application.
PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) programming involves creating instructions for a specialised computer system used to control automated processes in industries such as manufacturing, mining, and energy production. PLCs control machinery, processes, and equipment in real-time
PLC programming increases efficiency by automating processes, reducing the need for manual intervention. It enhances the consistency and reliability of operations, improves safety, and can lower operational costs. Our services allow businesses to streamline production and maintain continuous operations
PLC programming and automation are used in industries including manufacturing, mining, food processing, water treatment, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, and construction. Any industry with complex machinery or systems that require automation can benefit from PLC programming
We provide both services—whether you need a new PLC system designed and installed or you require troubleshooting, upgrades, and maintenance on your existing system. Our experts can assess and optimise your current system to improve performance
If your operations involve repetitive tasks, require precision, or involve complex machinery, PLC automation can significantly improve productivity. Our team will assess your processes and recommend tailored solutions to meet your business needs
PLC programming is primarily responsible for controlling and automating machinery and processes. SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, on the other hand, allow for remote monitoring and control of these systems. Both can work together, with PLCs handling the automation and SCADA systems providing oversight and data visualisation
We adhere to strict safety standards and guidelines, such as AS 4024 (Safety of Machinery), to ensure that all automated systems are safe for operators. Our team conducts thorough testing, risk assessments, and ongoing maintenance to keep systems secure
Yes, PLC systems can be integrated with a wide range of technologies, including SCADA systems, sensors, variable speed drives (VSD), and industrial networks. This integration ensures that your automation systems work seamlessly and provide real-time data for informed decision-making
