MDCL staff has over 30 years’ experience in the concept and design of automation machinery and PLC control systems. We can also upgrade older systems and improve your productivity.
MDCL can provide training for your manufacturing staff.
MDCL maintain SolidWorks® CAD design software licenses and can provide your design team with additional manpower during peak times or for specific projects.
Cost Benefit Analysis
Want to replace old equipment or expand into something new but not sure if you will get real value?
Using modern Engineering Management tools and a systems approach we can analyse your options and provide you with the true cost of ownership over the life of the project.
As an example, we provided a Cost Analysis for new compressed air generating plant. By changing the specification the project recovered capital costs in 27 months.
