What it includes
Études et phasage
Feasibility, phase definition and budget estimates, to move forward step by step.
Process analysis
We map your process to target what to automate.
PLC programming
Development on programmable logic controllers (PLCs) suited to your equipment.
Control interfaces (HMI/SCADA)
Clear interfaces to operate and supervise in real time.
Traceability and reporting
Data collection and reports for compliance and quality.

Automation in practice
Design, develop and integrate solutions to measure, sequence and trace — from the mixing recipe to the ERP.
Mixing recipes
Formulas, weighing, sequencing, dosing lock and full history, with production supervision.
Batch traceability
Full traceability and automatic real-time reports: a batch reconstructed in seconds.
Native ERP integration
Two-way connection to NAV, Odoo and SAP. No more double entry or fragmentation.
Orders & inventory
Order, contract and inventory management, connected to the process.
Engineering & PLC/HMI
Control architecture, PLC/HMI programming and assisted commissioning.
Modules éprouvés
Plant-tested foundations, adjusted to your reality: faster deployment, without starting from scratch.
Solutions compatible with your equipment
Integration adapted to your existing processes, without a complete overhaul.
Machine safety
Panel design and machine safety compliant with standards.

Automated grinding and roller mill
Situation — The grinder and the roller mill ran in manual mode, on separate starters.
What NIVEK did — We redesigned the electrical room and the control system: sensors added, programming and commissioning. A “keep full” mode holds the silos full from grind level setpoints — normal and critical. When the particle size changes, the adjustment stays manual, so the system asks the operator to confirm it has been made.
Automated two-pit receiving
Situation — Receiving ran entirely in manual mode.
What NIVEK did — We automated all of it: two receiving pits, bulk-to-bulk transfers and debagging — from bags to bulk.
Automated liquid fertilizer plant
What NIVEK did — We automated the whole plant:
- 4 receiving stations, 3 mixers
- 2 truck loading stations, 1 tote filling station
- Solid products blended into the liquid mixes
- 31 storage silos, 189 valves
The system computes the best route for each product and prevents any contamination between incompatible products. Mixing times are driven by each product's parameters.
Automated bitumen polymerization plant
What NIVEK did — We automated the whole plant:
- Rail and truck receiving, storage and warehousing
- Continuous dosing for polymerization
- 2 “blend to truck” shipping bays: the recipe is dosed straight into the truck, with every product starting and finishing at the same time
- Advanced recipe management
- Standalone scale: prints shipping tickets and certificates of compliance
