The Challenge

A global beverage manufacturer needed to modernize its wastewater treatment plant. The legacy systems lacked visibility, compliance data was hard to track, and the infrastructure was not ready for future capacity expansion.

Compliance Risks

No Remote Visibility

Limited Capacity

The Solution

Sheridan Automation engineered a comprehensive solution using the Inductive Automation Ignition platform for high-performance HMI/SCADA and Allen-Bradley CompactLogix PLCs for robust process control.

Dual HMI Stations

Smart Alarms

Secure Data
