We design automation for machines and plants, from the electrical panel to production data.
From the electrical panel to the control software, from functional safety to the collection and analysis of production data. All of it backed by the mechanical and manufacturing capacity of an industrial group active since 1987.
Mechanics and automation, under one direction.
Dal Ben S.p.A. has designed and built the machine since 1987. Dal Ben Automation designs its control, safety and software.
Born from the same design, mechanics and automation grow together: decisions are made once, the client has a single point of contact and one final acceptance test that validates the complete machine.
- The group's mechanical and manufacturing capacity available to automation
- A vertical automation division: PC-based architectures, functional safety, motion, data
- One documented method, from functional specification to FAT/SAT commissioning
Mechanics and automation on the same project
Services, designed to work together.
From the machine to the process plant: areas of expertise that combine on the same project and can be requested one at a time or as a complete supply.
Electrical design
Electrical schematics, control and power panels and bills of materials for machines and plants, per IEC/EN 60204-1 and the Machinery Directive.
Learn more →02PLC system engineering
Development of automation logic per IEC 61131-3 on all the main PLC platforms, from the electrical schematic to on-site commissioning.
Learn more →03Integration with the mechanical side
Automation designed together with the machine's mechanics: interfaces, actuation, safety and testing defined from the start, not bolted on later.
Learn more →04Hydraulic skid and process automation
Control of hydraulic power units and process plants: pressure, flow and temperature regulation, pump and valve management, alarms and traceability.
Learn more →05Industrial HVAC automation
Control of air handling and climate systems for industrial and critical environments: regulation, supervision and energy management.
Learn more →06Functional safety
Risk analysis and safety function design according to EN ISO 13849 and IEC 62061, from PL/SIL calculation to final validation.
Learn more →07HMI interface design
Design of operator panels and HMI/SCADA interfaces: page structure, alarm handling, recipes and diagnostics that stay readable on the shop floor.
Learn more →08Test benches and end-of-line testing
Automatic test benches and end-of-line test stations: data acquisition, test cycle execution, acceptance criteria and automatic reporting.
Learn more →09Support & maintenance
Maintenance, retrofit and remote support work on existing automation systems, including ones not originally designed by Dal Ben Automation.
Learn more →10Consulting and technical support
Automation expertise available when you need it: machine fleet assessment, control architectures, new concept development and independent verification during acceptance testing.
Learn more →Integrated engineering, from spec to commissioning
Real cases, anonymized for client confidentiality.
Automating a packaging line
PLC integration and machine logic overhaul for a packaging line, aimed at reducing downtime during format changeover.
