®A control system migration is typically a once-in-a-career opportunity, so it’s important to get it right. Migration projects are extremely complex, and the risks can be high without proper planning – the key lies in the front-end loading, or FEL stage, which leads to a feasibility analysis of different options and finally to a requisite justification for funding approval. FELs, especially those following MAVERICK’s DCSNext methodology, are structured in a way to help plan for migration by executing the engineering upfront – really from inception until implementation – focusing on funding approval and definition. Early efforts spent on good definition will pay for itself in terms of minimized cost and reduced schedule. Learn why focusing on early planning and the budgeting effort ensures the future success of your project.

State-based control isn’t a new approach, but industry is increasingly interested in how it can improve plant operations and mitigate risk. Process automation projects migrating from loop controls are oftentimes looked at with a skeptical question mark, especially if the facility that needs modifying operates in the run condition 90% of the time. Change is hard but seeing the ease and orderliness of startup using a state-based control approach will turn any skeptic into a believer. We demystify state-based control and explain why it is the next step in industrial automation.
