C J Waterhouse have been awarded the contract to upgrade the sequence control and data presentation systems for a UK Rubber Compounders batch off unit . The VMI batch-off machine has been in operation at the site for many years and still functions well, however the automation system controlling it and associated data presentation was dated and in need of replacement.
