About us
Opcode Systems Inc. is a Canadian Corporation formed in 1989 by engineers and technicians with experience in primary paper and steel industries.
Our experience with all phases of the projects including drive systems design, testing and commissioning provided us with extensive knowledge of industrial system applications from the day that the doors opened for business in 1989.
Opcode Systems is an integrator with installed solutions in food & beverage, roofing, impregnated papers, plastics and film, mining, utilities, and other manufacturing industries.
Our expertise is with the automation of coordinated drive systems such as food processing lines, batch recipe systems, paper machines, winders, shingle lines, granules plants, palletizers, impregnated paper lines and resin batching systems, film orienteers, as well as ball mills and classifiers.
The scope of our supply to machine builders such as VITS Machinenbau Gmbh has included the MCC or drive panels, motors, operator stations, and machine and process control programs. Our services include in-house testing with simulation, on-site commissioning and related documentation.

- New mill feed, classification, and load-out electrical systems were designed, programmed, and commissioned. We specified and supplied a new 12 section MCC for this lineup. Closed loop control of air flows, level control, and feed rates ensured that product quality was consistent and operator involvement minimized.
- An electrical retrofit to increase capacity on an air classification system was designed, programmed, and commissioned. We specified and supplied the drive cabinets and PLC hardware for this lineup, utilizing remote I/O blocks to simplify wiring.
- Commissioning services for a mill system designed by others.
