A mixture of control systems based on disparate technology, tools, and complicated mechanisms can restrict your process flexibility and responsiveness, limiting production safety and security.
A smart process control system empowered by a modern Distributed Control System can help you make faster process control decisions, be more productive and profitable while reducing operational risk.
Plantwide Control SystemBoost your Process Efficiency with Multi-discipline Control
With PlantPAx®, you no longer need multiple automation systems for your plant. Instead, implement a single, plantwide control system, integrating process, discrete, power, safety, and information into one plantwide infrastructure built on open communication standards.
Watch this video to understand why plantwide control system is the way forward for your process control.
Unified Process and PowerA unified process and power system reduces risk with advanced, and easy-to-use solutions
Process and power are different functions and have traditionally needed different teams to operate. Increasingly, organizations are choosing to connect the two functions for more efficient operations. With a single control platform for process and power, you can manage an entire plant more productively, with lesser risk and greater visibility across your production.
Rockwell Automation offers robust, unified process and power control solutions, with scalable and standardized systems that help to reduce business risk. Easy-to-use technology improves productivity and operational effectiveness, and data collated across process and power is delivered via an intuitive visualization platform enabling faster, more informed decisions. This unified control also helps to optimize power and energy consumption with contextualized insights and simplify sustainability reporting.
ARC Advisory Group webinar on Modern process control ARC Advisory Group analysts, end user leaders and industry specialists from Rockwell Automation revealed how industrial companies can remove boundaries with a unified process and power control in the plant, and accelerate outcomes like asset management, energy management and predictive maintenance with AI, Edge and cloud (Industrial Data ops), with modern process control.
Watch the On-Demand session to find out:
By unifying two systems and creating one operating environment, you achieve visibility into the whole plant with one tool. With Intelligent Packaged Power, you can securely merge power management and controls environments into one suite of tools for maximum visibility.
Read these blogs and case studies to learn how modern process control is revolutionizing industrial operations, enhancing efficiency and reducing environmental impact.
Modern industrial operations require modern cybersecurity solutions!
With a modern DCS , you can improve production safety and security, and address environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns.
