Jembrae Electrical Services supports industrial customers with practical PLC, controls and automation-related electrical support across Melbourne, South East Melbourne, the eastern suburbs and broader Victoria.
Industrial automation issues are often a mix of electrical, controls, field device, machine and process-related problems. A fault may appear to be a PLC issue, but the cause can be a sensor, actuator, drive, motor, relay, safety circuit, field wiring issue, power supply problem or equipment fault.
Jembrae can assist with the electrical and controls side of PLC and automation support, including fault finding, I/O checks, field device investigation, VSD support, control cabinet checks, wiring support and coordination with OEMs, programmers and engineering teams where required.
