Process Solutions
Plant-Wide Control
We are constantly evaluating the needs of our customers in batch, discrete, continuous and hybrid industries from an operational, systems, services and application solutions perspective so we can continually expand our applications for your industry — and provide the best possible process integration for your control, visualization, network and information technologies.
Right Information, Right Now
To reduce your development time and help you respond more quickly to your changing market demands, our Integrated Architecture™ system, including Advanced Process Control, gives you unprecedented access to plant and production data. By bridging your production gaps and sharing real-time data between your production and business systems, you can make better decisions faster — because the right time to turn information into action is real time as the process is occurring.
Process automation is a key discipline in our Integrated Architecture™ system — the only truly integrated control and information system that runs discrete, motion, process, batch, drive and safety applications. Through it, you get unified information from disparate manufacturing disciplines and the highest degree of scalability possible so you can purchase exactly what you need now and expand your integrated system in the future.
Scalable, Modular Process Control Meets Global Standards
With platforms recognizing standards in batch, MES, process safety and security, our scalable, modular process control functionality rivals what you'd expect in a DCS system, giving you the best functionality in a single platform.
You'll get consistent operational protocols and easy integration across your plant — and across the globe — because of our strategic partnerships and affiliations with process leaders like Endress + Hauser FIELDBUS foundation, HART & ISA, the FDT Group, and apply open standards, such as S88, IEC 61512-01 and SIL2.
Partners Expand Your Capabilities
So you have access to the best possible process application portfolio, we are constantly strengthening our existing partnerships, and adding new partners. When deployed with our Integrated Architecture™ system, common technology and infrastructure elements from these partners give you:- A level of preferred integration that provides increasing value through pre-engineered, pre-tested process solutions and compliance to open standards;
- Configuration, diagnostics and calibration capabilities for a broad range of field devices.
- Services that include pre-qualification assessment and consulting, calibration, repair, training, multi-vendor start-up and network services.
