Microprocessador's partnership with Sonae Group began in 1985 and has always included the various areas of activity of this important economic group.
The collaboration with CapWatt, a company belonging to the Sonae Capital group, began in 2008 with the setting up of the Ecociclo II cogeneration plant at the company's facilities in Maia, Portugal. In 2016, Microprocessador was consulted for the design of a Plant Control System (PCS), for a new Biomass Plant in Mangualde, in order to support the Sonae Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) factory located there.
To meet this challenge, we have developed a partnership strategy with Siemens, the manufacturer of the proposed technology, and the solution presented was the Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 9.0 SP1, a PCS that combines high performance and reliability with simple and safe operation and maximum convenience for the increasing demand of today’s industry.
