Welkom Industrial Controls prides itself on its projects. We have been involved in projects since 1988, when the
company was started.
We have implemented from small generator installations, to massive medium voltage refrigeration plants, pump
stations, ore loading and air compressors. We have done substation monitoring for municipalities and water pumping
systems. We are involved in gold production and surveillance monitoring. We understand plant and mining processes
and can develop any system for you.
Welkom Industrial Controls has the capability to design electronic embedded systems and can do custom software for these
devices. An Asset Management and Tracking system was developed for the mines to track rolling assets and personal
underground. This system can be used to track and manage any equipment. Bar Code or various RFID tags can be
interfaced to the system. The system is based on Microsoft SQL server. Custom drivers can be added to read various tag
readers. This system was later changed to a lamp room management system.
We have developed custom software for BHP Biliton for a material tracking system on an aluminium plant. The project
was done originally by a Norwegian company. WIC was asked to complete the project. Custom VB code and class objects
were developed to interface to a Soft-PLC system to retrieve and push data into a SQL database from a Modicon Quatum
PLC. Custom user interface software was also developed. We also developed a winder simulator for the DME for
training purposes. We pride ourselves on the high standards of installation and the delivering of a good quality product to the end user.
