ATL Digester Powered by Unitronics

Most food waste tracking systems can tell you how much you're throwing away. They can't stop you from throwing it away.

Aerobic Technologies Limited's Aerobic Digester processes and disposes of food waste on-site, running on a Unitronics control platform integrated by Vision Automation. Every disposal event feeds straight into the ATL Intelligence Platform, the real-time reporting dashboard we built to run alongside it, so catering and healthcare operators get the audit trail, category breakdowns, and meal session data they need to hit their 2030 waste reduction targets.

Watch how the ATL Intelligence Platform turns every digester run into measurable results.

Product Announcement: V120 & EX-RC1 End-of-Sale / End-of-Life

Effective 31 August 2026, Unitronics is discontinuing the V120 PLC range and the EX-RC1. Both reach End-of-Sale and End-of-Life on that date.

Here's your path forward:

V130 series: the recommended migration for both products. Same Unitronics environment, no relearning from scratch.
On UniStream? URB-CAN with a mix of URB I/O modules gives you a CAN-based I/O replacement.

Remaining V120 and EX-RC1 stock is limited and moving first-come, first-served. If your machines depend on these units, plan your changeover now, not after the cut-off.

Talk to our technical team and we'll help you map the move to V130 properly.

𝗛𝗼𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿? 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹.

As AI, cloud computing, and high-density servers continue to push data centres harder than ever, cooling infrastructure has become mission critical.

That’s where Unitronics UniStream PLCs with embedded Redfish protocol change the game.

Unlike traditional PLC solutions, UniStream communicates directly with data centre infrastructure using native Redfish support — no gateways, protocol converters, or additional middleware required. ()

With one integrated platform, you can:
✔ Control cooling loops and CDU systems
✔ Monitor thermal conditions in real time
✔ Connect directly to DCIM systems
✔ Simplify integration across multi-vendor environments
✔ Reduce complexity while improving efficiency

One controller. One platform. Complete visibility and control.

Contact Vision Automation to learn how UniStream can support your next data centre automation project.

Consistency is everything in food and beverage production.

That’s why breweries and food manufacturers around the world rely on Unitronics PLC + HMI solutions to automate critical processes like temperature control, monitoring, and production management.

One example is Twisted Vine Brewery, where Unitronics Vision controllers helped automate fermentation temperature control, monitor trends remotely, and improve consistency across the brewing process — all while operating reliably in harsh, high-temperature conditions. ()

With integrated PLC + HMI control, remote access capabilities, and intuitive software, Unitronics helps manufacturers:
✔ Improve product consistency
✔ Reduce manual intervention
✔ Monitor processes remotely
✔ Scale systems as operations grow

Smart automation built for real production environments.

Contact the Vision Automation team to learn how Unitronics can help optimise your food and beverage operations.

Managing multiple pump systems shouldn’t mean switching between screens and systems all day.

With centralised monitoring dashboards powered by Unitronics UniCloud, you can view flow, pressure, alarms, and pump status in real time — all from one platform. UniCloud enables centralised dashboards with live flow, pressure, and operational visibility across multiple pumping stations.

From high-level system visibility down to individual pump performance, everything you need is accessible when you need it.

This also makes daily operations simpler:
✔ Track maintenance and service activities
✔ Detect issues before they become downtime
✔ Monitor trends and system performance remotely
✔ Keep distributed pump systems connected and under control

A smarter, more connected approach to pump system management.

Contact the Vision Automation team to learn how UniCloud can simplify your operations and improve system visibility.

Featured Article on Automation.com: The One Protocol Every Data Center Will Need in 2026

Redfish-inside PLCs — driven by Unitronics — are reshaping cooling, control and DCIM integration.
Redfish-inside PLCs — driven by Unitronics — are reshaping cooling, control and DCIM integration. The data-center industry is approaching a structural inflection point. AI workloads, hyperscale expansion and liquid-cooled architectures are pushing thermal density, energy consumption and operational complexity well beyond what legacy control stacks were designed to handle.
