PLC Control Solutions: Safe, Flexible, and Customized

PLC controls are industrial control systems that monitor and control various mechanical processes in real-time. They are highly reliable and programmable, essential for automating complex industrial operations. PLCs are indispensable in the food and beverage industry because they enhance automation, precision, flexibility, and compliance. This ultimately leads to higher productivity, consistent product quality, and operational efficiency. At Bassett, we work with our customers on everything from gas detection to ventilation to cold storage, freezing pizza, cranberries, and keeping cheese cool!

“Whether retrofitting an existing system or installing a new industrial refrigeration or cold storage facility, we offer customized control systems that are both flexible and cost-effective. Additionally, we specialize in replacing obsolete or discontinued equipment and technology, ensuring your operations remain efficient and up to date,” said Brad N., PLC Controls Engineering Manager.

When working closely with Bassett’s industrial refrigeration engineers and services teams, we have a unique perspective on integrating control systems customized to match each customer’s process requirements.

HVAC Control Solutions: Comprehensive, Adaptable, and Scalable

Our HVAC Controls cater to a wide range of industries, with a particular emphasis on industrial applications. Our expertise in this field is backed by a team of mechanical field experts who have transitioned into programming, bringing a deep understanding of the industry’s nuances. In addition, thanks to the close collaboration with our HVAC engineers and industry experts, we have the advantage of leveraging the knowledge within our team to integrate control systems for each customer’s unique needs.

“It’s not just about building automation anymore. We’re increasingly seeing creative solutions, such as integrating lighting systems and monitoring walk-in freezers and coolers. People need their systems to do more, providing visibility into what their equipment is doing in real-time,” said Mike M., HVAC Solutions Representative.

For example, we provided freezer and cooler monitoring for a local school with large walk-in freezers. State guidelines require them to monitor these freezers. We installed sensors and recorded trends, allowing the school to present date and time-stamped data to inspectors, proving that the food was kept at appropriate and safe levels.
