Plant Automation

PLC and SCADA control for unattended, repeatable operation.

Automation removes operator error, logs every event and lets you run overnight without staff. We integrate PLCs, HMIs and SCADA with your dosing, valves, pumps and instruments.

Zakafrica Water designs, supplies, installs and services these systems across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda.
