Service Details

At BH Electric Co. LLC, we build and service PLC automation for manure systems that need to run safely, consistently, and with less hands-on labor. On farms, timing matters. When pumps, scrapers, transfer systems, agitators, and alarms are not working together, it can create downtime, extra cleanup, and stress. We design control systems that help your manure handling equipment operate the way it should.

Our PLC automation service starts with understanding your current setup and your daily needs. We look at the manure system layout, motor loads, pump controls, sensors, float switches, washdown demands, and any problem areas you have been dealing with. From there, we can install or upgrade control panels, program the PLC, wire field devices, and create a clear sequence of operation for each part of the system.

We work on automation for many types of agricultural manure handling equipment, including transfer pumps, lift stations, reception pits, alley scrapers, separators, mixers, and ventilation or support equipment tied into the process. Depending on the application, we can integrate motor starters, VFDs, overload protection, level controls, emergency stops, run timers, alarm notifications, and manual/auto operating modes. Our goal is to give you reliable control, better monitoring, and smoother operation from day to day.

A well-built manure system automation setup can improve efficiency and reduce avoidable issues. PLC controls can help manage start and stop sequences, prevent equipment from running dry, reduce overflow risks, and coordinate multiple devices in the right order. We also focus on serviceability. That means organized wiring, labeled components, and practical troubleshooting support so your system is easier to maintain over time.

Since 2018, BH Electric Co. LLC has served Groton, NY, and surrounding areas with residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural electrical solutions. Our founder brings over 10 years of industrial electrical experience and a strong background in electrical construction and maintenance. That experience matters when you need automation that stands up to harsh farm conditions and real-world use.

If you are planning a new manure system, expanding an existing setup, or dealing with unreliable controls, we are ready to help. We provide dependable agricultural electrical work, clear communication, and automation solutions built around your operation. Contact BH Electric Co. LLC to talk about PLC automation for your manure system and schedule your project.

We worked it out. BH Electric came over to fix my circuit breaker on the weekend and it went well. Communicated well with me to set a time and he showed up within the time period with one hour notice, which I appreciated. Good emergency electrician services -- will take weekend calls. I appreciate them taking time out of a busy summer weekend to help me out.
