This building has seen a lot of Contec history.

Our Antwerp office has been part of Contec from day one.

Behind these walls, teams have grown, projects have taken shape and Contec has expanded far beyond Belgium.

And 40 years later, this is still home. 🏠

Standardization is rarely the most visible part of an automation project, but it's often what determines how easy that project will be to expand, maintain and integrate in the future.

That's why we have renewed our OMAC membership for another year, continuing our commitment to open automation standards such as PackML and the best practices promoted by the OMAC and ISA communities

Electrical infrastructure is often overlooked, but expansion plans, new equipment, or operational issues quickly put it in the spotlight.

In a recent article published by Romania Journal, Patrick DE PRYCK and Andrei Radulescu discuss why more manufacturers are investing in power studies to better understand the condition, capacity, and risks of their electrical systems.

Tank terminal operations become significantly more complex during expansion projects.

New tank pits, additional equipment, and ongoing storage and transfer activities all need to operate in a coordinated way, without compromising safety or operational visibility.

In this project, Contec developed a standardized control architecture based on Rockwell ControlLogix to support loading, unloading, circulation, and storage operations across the terminal.
