Automation for Home Care Plants
Most of TDL's home care work is at P&G Vietnam's Dong An plant, where TDL has had a yearly maintenance arrangement since 2012: FactoryTalk Batch in the making areas, packing line upgrades and changes, end-of-line integration, network modernization and program backups. For P&G Cabuyao in the Philippines, TDL automated a new
By plant area
Making and batch
FactoryTalk Batch and PlantPAx for several product lines since 2014 (Dry Laundry, Febreze mixing, HDL making), and in 2026 chiller monitoring and perfume dosing on two in-line mixers in HDL making, on ControlLogix and the AVEVA System Platform HMI.
Packing lines
Labelling, bottle filling and pouch packing machines upgraded machine by machine to ControlLogix 5580 and CompactLogix 5380, EtherNet/IP and Kinetix 5300 servo drives; changeover, auto size change and combined-hopper changes on the fillers.
Capping
Complete automation of a new
2-lane servo capper with automatic size changeover for P&G Cabuyao, working for the machine builder, on ControlLogix 5580 and Kinetix 5300 servo drives.Project references
End of line
A new end-of-line with an auto wrapper connected to the Mespack 2 packing line: 19 VFDs and a servo drive, line sequences and interlocks with the filler, a new HMI and alarm mapping to the plant's production system.
Project references
Networks and program backups
An audit of more than 100 control systems and a new factory-wide network architecture, and FactoryTalk AssetCentre for scheduled backups and version history of PLC and HMI programs.
Yearly maintenance
Maintenance and troubleshooting from utilities and water treatment to the making areas and packing lines, with changes ordered as work orders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which areas of a home care plant does TDL work on?
At P&G Vietnam Dong An: utilities and water treatment, the making areas with FactoryTalk Batch, the packing lines and end of line, and the control networks, under a yearly maintenance arrangement since 2012.
Can packing machines be upgraded without stopping the whole line?
At Dong An the packing machines were upgraded machine by machine: 24 discontinued servo drives were replaced on five machines, each machine upgraded and commissioned in turn.
Does TDL work for machine builders supplying home care plants?
Yes. For P&G Cabuyao in the Philippines TDL delivered the automation of a new
