Their main areas of expertise include:

The collaboration between Elgen Automation and CRE Technology began with the modernization of a large open-pit mining site in Indonesia. As part of this project, Elgen modernized several power plants by deploying CRE Gensys LT and BSD controllers within a new control system.

The operational impact was significant, with production increasing tenfold to 500,000 tons of coal produced daily.
This successful deployment laid the foundation for a long-term partnership based on trust, technical performance, and field-proven solutions.

Over the years, this collaboration has supported a wide range of projects across Southeast Asia, including large plantations, mining sites, maritime applications, and industrial facilities (such as the IOI Pamol plantations and Tawau gold mining projects).

Since then, the collaboration has expanded to numerous projects throughout Southeast Asia.
At the same time, Elgen has strengthened its expertise in commissioning and systems integration, demonstrating strong confidence in CRE's energy management platforms.

In a region where power supply reliability is essential, Elgen plays a strategic role as a distributor for CRE Technology.
Their approach combines solid engineering expertise with strong local support and a high degree of adaptability to regional markets.
