The Centre de Production Automatisée’s (CPA) role is to optimize processes through various types of automations regardless of the nature of the process.

It can be a factory sector, a prototype, a new industrial process or an applied research project requiring automation.

Similarly, it can also be the development of advanced control algorithms that may include simulation.

Here are other examples:

  • Automation of a giant 5-axis aluminum ingot saw
  • Development of training equipment for rehabilitation (R&D)
  • Design and realization of a test bench for bicycle brakes
  • Energy analysis
  • Implantation and optimization of a water content reading by infrared approach (NIR)
  • Optimization of a rotary dryer by implementing a control with « feedforward »

  • Automata from leading manufacturers
  • Data acquisition systems
  • Delta-V distributed control system (DCS)
  • Drive controllers
  • HTST pasteurization equipment
  • Most of the equipment is mobile and can follow the company’s resource person for training or for interventions and tests.
  • Microcontrollers
  • Operation interfaces
  • The CPA has a fleet of exclusive and cutting-edge technology equipment. Its laboratories are open to experimentation and process simulation.
  • Real process simulator
  • Various sets of electrical and pneumatic positioning on several axes
