Taking Integration
to a Higher Level
In the increasingly complex world of modern plant operations,
information is more valuable than ever. And it is absolutely critical
to make sure that information is accurate, current, and secure, yet available
to everyone who needs it. Accomplishing this requires an integrator that
can connect process control funtions to supervision and management functions,
and then bring them all together at the plant managment level.
 |
This means that the discrete control and
logic systems must talk to the advance controls, drive the process
graphics, and serve the report generation activities. In turn, process
control information must be available for tracking and trending, process
quality control, scheduling, and simulation. At the plant management
level, inventory and spare parts control, preventive maintenance,
and cost accounting come into play. |
 |
Communications is the key, and that is
our strength. We have experience with all major protocols, such as
DeviceNet, Modbus, Profibus, Ethernet, TCP/IP, ControlNet, and others.
We also have tremendous expertise with wireless communications, including
VHF, UHF, 928/952 mHz, MAS, and spread spectrum. |
 |
The ultimate value of sharing information lies in the reports your
system produces. Reports provide visibility, which allows analysis
and appropriate action. You need reports that are easy to use, flexible
in what they show, and complete in the story they tell. We can help
you accomplish that. We have experience with a number of high-end,
report generation applications such as Citect Plant2Business, Crystal
Report, Microsoft Excel, and Rockwell RSBizWare.
Thus, large amounts of data become information you can use to improve
plant operations, track uptime or material usage costs, monitor
equipment run hours, plan schedules for routine maintenance, keep
historical records, predict performance, and meet government reporting
regulations. And it can be done securely, yet inclusive of all users.

Whether you talk Oracle, SQL Server, InSQL, or other databases,
we can speak you language and help you collect, sort, and make data
available for your users.
From wireless communications, VPNs (virtual private networks), and
data warehousing to Web-based applications, plant and system security,
VoIP, and ERP (enterprise resource planning), we stand ready and
able to help you with your information technology integration needs.
