Within the Automation department a group of experienced software engineers with process related knowledge is responsible for the following activities:

- functional and detailed design
- implementation and testing of software
- site commissioning and start-up
- training
- service & support

Projects are executed using many different hardware platforms for PLC, SCADA and Operator Panels. Our internal engineering tools,
for the design of structured software, which is conform ISA S88.01 standard, are equipped for the following systems:

PLC: Siemens, Allen Bradley
SCADA: iFIX
Control system: Proleit - Brewmaxx, Braumat
Operator panel: Siemens OP/TP-170, AB Panelview 550 

Because the software structure is standardised within NPT projects, we are able to provide cost effective solutions. Our software code generator creates project specific PLC/SCADA application software. Field proven control and equipment modules are available for different types of applications. Batch units & operations with recipes will be developed conform the project requirements. NPT has a standard recipe application program available, which is used in a lot of projects within the beverage industry.
A group of experienced E/I engineers is responsible for the complete set-up of the I/O list and the selection of the required field instruments. The electrical design of the MCC cabinets, control- and fieldpanels are engineered conform industrial and client specific standards.
