Process Improvement

Industrial Control & Electrical (ICandE) provides electrical and control engineering services to industrial and mining projects.

Clients sometimes engage ICandE in Process Improvement roles. The benefit of Process Improvement engagements is that ICandE's specialist and up to date knowledge relating to mining and processing systems can be obtained by clients to optimise plant performance. Experience has shown that minor adjustments to power and control systems can deliver significant improvements to plant availability, production throughput and product quality.

ICandE's contribution toward Process Improvement projects extends beyond engineering to activities such as:

Problem/Opportunity Identification
Works Planning & Coordination
Operations and Maintenance Training
