Gramedia Publishing in Jakarta, Indonesia choose Harland Simon to upgrade their current Intella 310 and 400 control system. This upgrade involved swapping out the old Harland Simon Intella PLCs and replacing them with Allen Bradley Compact Logix PLC’s and Allen Bradley Point I/O. This was the final phase of the conversion, Harland Simon engineers had already completed changing the old DC drive system to a modern supportable Allen Bradley Power Flex DC drive system and upgrading all the reelstands to supportable Allen Bradley Compact Logix PLCs.
