DCS Migrations

Address the Risks of a Legacy DCS

Your DCS is the “brain of your process”— reaching out into your plant to monitor and control the multitude of devices which enable you to produce quality products on time, every time.

As your equipment ages, it is inevitable that questions about part sourcing, service, potential productivity losses from old technology, and increased risks of downtime become more likely.

Learn how Rockwell Automation can help you modernize your control system with PlantPAx DCS.

Our migration solutions help you incorporate newer technologies at a phased pace that is comfortable for you. These solutions are designed to minimize downtime, maximize operational success, and lessen the risk of maintaining legacy equipment.

Minimize Downtime and Reduce Costs

Migrate Your Distributed Control System

It is time to rethink what to expect from a distributed control system (DCS). To drive productivity, increase efficiencies, and reduce costs, you must integrate all of your automation operations. By migrating your outdated DCS to the modern PlantPAx® DCS, you will be one step closer to achieving The Connected Enterprise.

You should migrate your system when:

Your legacy DCS is currently hindering productivity and quality
Your management requires better access to information from across your plant
You are spending significant money on custom integration
