Automated Sliding Gate Installation at Carnarvon Power Station

AGM Automation supplied and installed a new automated sliding gate at the Carnarvon Power Station for Horizon Power. The work formed part of a site security and access control upgrade at the facility. AGM completed the gate installation, automation, access control programming and commissioning before handing the system over to Horizon Power personnel.
