Case Study: a growing compression molding company increases production and reliability with LSI - Logical Systems Inc.

Growing Compression Molding Company - Customer Case Study

Growing Compression Molding Company, a sheet molding compound producer, faced major production and reliability challenges with its twenty-year-old Modicon control systems. The outdated, decentralized controls were difficult to troubleshoot, leading to frequent pump breakdowns and creating an unmanageable “rat’s nest” of wiring that hampered their ability to increase efficiency and meet growing demand.

Vendor LSI - Logical Systems Inc. addressed this by designing and fabricating new control and VFD panels, implementing a modern system built on Rockwell automation products including ControlLogix, PlantPAx, and PowerFlex drives. The solution from LSI delivered a 15-20% increase in production, eliminated $24,000 in annual pump repair costs, and provided significantly improved reliability and enhanced process control through new historian software.
