VEC Technology Composite Manufacturing HMI/SCADA Implementation
Case study of VEC Technology's deployment of ICONICS GENESIS64 for monitoring and controlling closed-mold composite manufacturing operations across two facilities.
VEC Technology implemented GENESIS64 HMI/SCADA with BridgeWorX, ReportWorX, and WebHMI to manage eight Modicon PLCs, five Delta RMC controllers, and 1,200 tags per molding station. The system replaced multiple automation interfaces with a single vendor platform, enabling 3D visualization of CAD data, native SQL Server integration, and long-term parameter archiving for warranty records. Staff required to maintain the system dropped from eight to two employees.
GENESIS64 unified HMI/SCADA, data bridging, and reporting across two manufacturing sites with eight molding stations
System handles 1,200 tags per station while interfacing with Modicon PLCs, Delta controllers, and multiple sensors
3D GraphWorX64 visualizations fully utilize existing CAD data for equipment monitoring
BridgeWorX eliminated custom VBA scripts; single SQL Server database replaced fragmented logging
Maintenance staff reduced from eight to two; future expansion includes post-mold quality data capture
