Manufacturers know the pressure—when textile handling lines stall from unreliable controls, productivity drops, quality suffers, and worries rise. Shriram Automation was stuck in this cycle, struggling with old systems that were complex, prone to failure, and stressful to manage. Their team needed a solution not just for machines, but for peace of mind and greater efficiency.​

Escaping Automation Anxiety

The typical industrial environment is demanding and filled with multi-tasking and data overload, which can overwhelm even the most seasoned professional. Shriram’s engineers lived with the strain: endless troubleshooting, unpredictable breakdowns, and the constant fear of costly mistakes. With traditional automation, teams faced high maintenance, confusing upgrades, and the risk of human error.​

Horner PLC: A Lifeline for Teams

The game-changer came with Horner’s all-in-one PLC. These modern controllers use integrated architecture: combining control, graphical HMI, remote I/O support, and versatile communications (Ethernet, CAN, Serial), all in a single, easy-to-use device. Horner’s OCS controllers can manage thousands of data points per second—far beyond human capability—automating precision tasks and tracking data for predictive maintenance and operational reviews.​

With Horner, installation and commissioning are quick, upgrades are simple, and there’s less room for error.
