Temperature & Process Control

Custom PLC-Based Process Automation

PLC-based control systems regulate temperature-dependent processes using sensor feedback, airflow control, and programmed logic. Systems manage heating cycles, monitor operating conditions, and coordinate equipment to maintain stable, repeatable performance. PLC programming and real-world applications!

MAKE-UP AIR CONTROL SYSTEMS
Enviromental & Feeding Automation

Montana Automation’s make‑up air control systems replace exhausted air with properly conditioned outdoor air to maintain the right balance of pressure and airflow in commercial and industrial buildings. These PLC‑controlled systems synchronize variable‑speed fans, exhaust equipment, and heating elements to ensure reliable ventilation, stable temperatures, and energy‑efficient operation.

CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS
Green House

GREENHOUSE AUTOMATION

PLC-based greenhouse automation systems monitor temperature, humidity, and soil conditions to support consistent plant growth. Sensors provide real-time data that allows environmental conditions to be adjusted as needed throughout the day and across changing weather.

By maintaining stable growing conditions and clear system visibility, automation helps improve productivity and supports informed decision-making for daily greenhouse operation.

CHICKEN BARNS
Enviromental & Feeding Automation

Automation systems control ventilation, temperature, lighting, and feed delivery for poultry barns where birds are sensitive to environmental changes. PLC controls monitor barn conditions continuously and adjust airflow and temperature to maintain proper bird comfort. The system supports even bird growth, reduces stress, and maintains consistent production throughout the flock cycle.

HOG BARNS - 
Automated Feed & Grain Control Systems

Automated feed systems control grain bins, augers, and feed lines for hog barns where pigs are fed multiple times per day. PLC controls manage feed delivery by group or pen, monitor bin levels, and track system operation to prevent feed outages or overfeeding. The system supports consistent intake, uniform growth, and steady daily feeding across finishing and nursery barns.

DAIRY BARNS -
Precision Feeding & Control Automation

Automated feeding systems control feed timing, ration amounts, and distribution for dairy cows that are fed on repeatable schedules. PLC controls ensure consistent delivery from feeding to feeding and allow adjustments for herd size, ration changes, or production needs. The system supports stable intake, cow health, and reliable daily milk production.

SLURRY & MANURE -
Presision Feeding & Control Automation

PLC-based automation systems control pumps, valves, and transfer equipment used in slurry and manure handling. Automated controls manage flow rates, timing, and system sequencing to support consistent application and safe operation.
As fertilizer costs increase, efficient manure management becomes an important part of nutrient planning. Automation helps producers utilize manure effectively while reducing manual handling, improving reliability, and supporting long-term operation.

WATER SYSTEMS - 
Presision Feeding & Control Automation

PLC-based water control systems automate irrigation and water distribution in agricultural operations. Controls manage pumps, valves, and irrigation equipment using input from soil moisture sensors, flow meters, and system schedules to apply water where and when it’s needed.

By monitoring conditions in real time and automating system response, water automation helps improve resource efficiency, increase measurement accuracy, and reduce operating costs while supporting consistent crop production.
