The Solution

Software development, simulation of the process line to enable operational efficiencies.

Bensons’ development team began by analysing the battery separation process. The team conducted research into
each machine to determine which control measures were required. After analysis, all essential data was gathered and
the project advanced to its next phase. Before implementing the hardware throughout the battery separation line,
Bensons developed the overarching software program which would provide the foundation for the entire network.

The Waste Management and Waste Disposal
organisation needed to know what would happen
to the line if unexpected scenarios occurred. To
facilitate this, Bensons developed and executed a full
simulation of the process line to allow any weak points

site.

The software developed by
Bensons responds to inputs from
the various sensors and alarms
throughout the separation
process to govern and regulate
the operation of the waste
processing line.

The Result
Space saving – simplified installation – reduced assembly
and testing time
The motor control centre control panel was built in line with the
designs collaboratively developed between Bensons and their client.

In parallel the software was developed and tested. The finished
control panel and software were integrated at Bensons facility and a
comprehensive factory acceptance test completed without issue. This
enabled the system to be delivered to site, installed and
commissioned on site with full confidence in its functionality.

During the early stages of prototype operation, various enhancements
and up-grades to improve the system performance were identified.

As a result of having comprehensive hardware and software
documentation, it was possible for Bensons to implement complex
software up-dates to the system and associated physical
modifications with the minimum of disruption to production. As a
result, this flagship battery separation process line is now in full
production.
