What we deliver
02 / SERVICES
Electrical design
Schematics, panel layouts and BOMs to client specifications and recognized standards (UL 508A / CSA).
Commissioning & validation support
On-site start-up, loop checks and documented hand-over to support your test plan and change control.
Also: hardware supply for the projects we deliver — PLCs, HMIs, drives and panel components, with sourcing and availability confirmed for each scope.
Recent work
See all work →Plastics
Plastics manufacturer — ongoing controls support
Problem
Controls for 15+ injection-moulding machines, robot workcells and post-mould assembly fixtures.
What AranVision did
- TIA Portal upgrades of older Siemens programs (V13 to V19), new operator HMIs, robot-to-machine I/O and interlocks, cavity-pressure and vision-based part reject, swing-chute and mould-vacuum control, assembly-fixture logic, cycle timing captured on the HMI for production history.
Outcome
Machines kept in production with every change logged against the program revision history.
- Siemens S7 / TIA Portal
- HMIs
- Robots
- Vision
Food
Food manufacturer — filling machine down
Problem
A servo-driven filling machine kept stopping mid-cycle.
What AranVision did
- Traced the stop to the PLC sequence and corrected the sequence logic, then diagnosed and cleared the servo and sensor faults that showed up once the machine ran again.
Outcome
Machine back in production.
- Schneider PacDrive (ELAU)
- Sercos
- Altivar
Consumer goods
Consumer-goods manufacturer — line would not start
Problem
A blending and multi-scale weighing line would not start; production waiting.
What AranVision did
- On-site diagnosis of the PLC, HMI and drives; full PLC program backup before any change.
Outcome
Start fault traced to a batch counter that had reached its target and was blocking the cycle; line restarted during the visit. Weighing instability on one scale documented with a follow-up test plan.
- Omron
- Danfoss drives

Siemens S7-300 is now spare-parts only. What that means for your line.
The S7-300 and ET 200M left regular supply in October 2025. What "spare parts only" means, how long parts are expected to last, and how to plan the move to S7-1500.
