Background and pain points

A power plant ship unloader undertook coal receiving work at the fuel wharf. After years of service, the original equipment had aging electrical control hardware, aging trailing cables, insufficient system fault tolerance and frequent faults, affecting receiving efficiency and safe production.

  • Aging control hardware and trailing cable system
  • Insufficient fault tolerance and frequent operating faults
  • Declining operating efficiency under heavy-load unloading conditions

Implementation process

  1. 01Site survey and equipment status assessment
  2. 02Control design, hardware integration and software development
  3. 03Installation, linked commissioning and load trial
  4. 04Acceptance, training and maintenance handover

Results

  • Improved equipment operating stability
  • Improved control response and operating visibility
  • Improved maintainability and documentation

This project shows Meshox can deliver full-loop retrofit work for large, high-load port machinery where acceptance depends on stable operation under real production conditions.
