Safety Systems

Over the past 20 years, K.E has successfully delivered and installed safety systems in more than 20 countries worldwide. With operations on all continents and dedicated safety system teams around the world, K.E provides not only highly-qualified technical resources during project delivery, but also ensures competent local support and service in operation. We work hard with end-users to maintain and evolve existing installations, thereby maximizing customer value and ensuring safe plant operation.

The name given to the efficient interoperability of all automation components is: “Totally integrated automation”. The open system architecture covers the entire production process and is based on the consistent presence of shared characteristics: consistent data management, global standards, and uniform hardware and software interfaces. These shared characteristics minimize engineering time. The result: lower costs, reduced time to market, and greater flexibility.

K.E’s solutions are currently operating in thousands of automation and remote monitoring installations throughout the world. Their robust electronics and rugged packaging allow years of reliable service, even in the most remote areas. By designing a scalable product line, K.E has ensured its products meet a broad range of requirements. Whether the installation calls for a few points or thousands of points, a K.E solution will cost-effectively perform all automation and remote monitoring operations. Compatibility throughout the entire product line is the key. Across all applications, common software tools, communications networking, and hardware platforms maximize efficiency. Systems integrators can considerably reduce project costs and scheduling risks while end users realize faster payback as well as major improvements in operations and maintenance. Khoury Engineering & General Contracting provides innovative remote automation, flow measurement, monitoring, and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) products to global markets. We have an outstanding reputation in the design and implementation of a wide range of visualization and SCADA systems. With over 20 years’ experience in programming SCADA solutions for customers in the Automotive, Aviation, Chemical, Food & Beverage, Medical Device, Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical, Oil and Gas, Tobacco and Utilities industries, you can be confident in our SCADA engineering capabilities. As our name implies, we offer simple yet powerful telemetry technology that leverages easy-to-use web technologies and inexpensive public networks. Our remote terminal Unit (RTU) products are easy to configure and offer dramatically reduced costs versus traditional SCADA/PLC systems. K.E can design and build SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems able to meet varied project requirements from elevated tank automation, pump stations, or to entire water treatment plants. These systems can range from a single server installation to hot-standby terminal servers that log data to a historical data server. We are able to utilize a variety of HMI software packages over a number of network infrastructures types. We have installed over 50 SCADA systems nationwide and worldwide.

Application system programming (system integration)

  • SCADA
  • It is impossible to keep control and supervision on all industrial activities manually. Some automated tool is required which can control, supervise, collect data, analyses data and generate reports. A unique solution is introduced to meet all this demand and it is the SCADA System. K.E’s SCADA system stands for supervisory control and data acquisition. It is an industrial control system where a computer system monitoring and controlling a process.

Our control solutions set the standard — from the original programmable logic controller (PLC) invented in the 1970s to the technology embodied in the scalable, multi-disciplined and information-enabled programmable automation controller (PAC). Our system has a sophisticated networking technology that is capable of instantly connecting any SCADA station with one another in the same network. Any application can be a network server for other stations, it takes just a few clicks to connect client stations. Efficiency and performances are guaranteed by event-driven technology and other emergent and multiplatform technologies. Any application can be used as server and client either individually or both simultaneously. Client projects can also be distributed and run locally on the client while residing on the main server.
