PROJECT DETAILS

SIT has extensive experience in integrating advanced electronics and control systems into bridge operations. Our expertise includes the introduction of variable frequency drives (VFDs) for precise motor speed control, which optimizes the movement and efficiency of bridge mechanisms. Additionally, we specialize in implementing sophisticated programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and state-of-the-art graphic human-machine interfaces (HMIs) with touch screen displays.

Our capability to retrofit existing bridge infrastructure with smart relays and remote control PLCs is a key differentiator. This technology enables remote operation and monitoring of bridges, significantly reducing the labor required for maintenance and operation. By leveraging these advanced systems, SIT enhances the reliability, safety, and efficiency of bridge operations, providing a modern solution that aligns with the needs of today's infrastructure management.
