GRAIN HANDLING & STORAGE

DelcoAutomation has an impressive resume of experience in the development and installation of automation systems for the demanding requirements of the world's largest high-throughput grain companies.  In the late '90's the major grain corporations moved forward rapidly to consolidate their network of rural elevators to a network of concrete high-throughput terminals.  Delco Automation was there to provide high-speed, networked control systems with specialized features to provide inventory management, preventative maintenance, and integration of: cleaning systems, distributors, truck scales, bulk weighing systems, dryers, and hazard monitoring.

We have also cross-pollinated our specialized knowledge of high-throughput, minimal lag grain handling and storage systems into our world class customers' facilities in the food & beverage sector.

FEED & SEED PLANTS

Saskatchewan is a leader in the dramatic increase in production and primary processing of specialty crops (herbs & spices) and pulse crops  Pulses are the seeds of legumes that are used as food, and they include pea, bean, lentil, chickpea and fababean.  Saskatchewan is Canada's leading producer of peas, lentils and chickpeas. The majority of the Canadian specialty crop industry is based in Saskatchewan.

With our corporate headquarters based in Saskatchewan, DelcoAutomation's people have had a long history of supplying product and service to the feed and seed industry.  We understand the customers' challenge of operating a viable, yet reliable, feed and seed plant.   Because of this, DelcoAutomation has developed very economical, but extremely reliable control systems for these facilities.

Interested in how a modern control system can protect the life of your equipment and reduce your manpower?  Do you require servicing of your existing control systems?  Contact Sales for more information.  

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH GREENHOUSES

Plant breeding, biotechnology and plant pathology programs are expanding within the research and commercial communities.  This increased demand brings with it the requirement for state-of-the-art research greenhouse infrastructures.  Modern environmental research greenhouses cannot be managed without reliable, high-performance control systems.  The automation infrastructure must provide unparalleled environmental performance in the control of temperature, humidity, air velocity and light intensity.

DelcoAutomation is pleased to have been involved in engineering studies and control system services for some of the best-in-class research facilities in the world.
