PlantPAx

ECS’ Total Process Automation extends the value of Rockwell Automation’s PlantPAx in many ways, including:

• Faster time to Market

ECS’ Total Process Automation, based on S88 Builder, is not just faster to initially deploy, it is agile in support of change throughout the solution life cycle. One Total Process Automation customer brings 20-30 new products to market annually.

• Lower Total Cost of Ownership

ECS’ Total Process Automation drives down TCO because it is designed to be more supportable. ECS has invested in a solution that reduces downtime by shortening the time it takes to repair or replace a failed system component. If the component is a sensor, maintenance simply tells the control solution to use internal loopback or simulation logic to operate until the sensor can be replaced. Production is not lost. Matthias Altendorf, CEO of Endress and Hauser pointed out that 70% of service remains reactive even with the implementation of asset management solutions. Active monitoring informs ECS of impending problems so that they can be fixed before they fail.

• Improved Asset Utilization

Improved asset management can bring tremendous additional value to manufacturers. All integrators are not equal. All process control software is not equal. Enterprise risk management comes in many forms. One aspect of risk management is standardization. A Total Process Automation solution makes PlantPAx better with 100% reuse of the controller program and HMI objects. ECS’ 30/60/90 review policy and simulation further reduce risk.

• Enterprise Risk Management

Risk management is more than risk of the initial project, however. PlantPAx Total Process Automation solutions from ECS include the agility to incorporate change, be it due to new product requirements or continuous improvement, reducing risk of obsolescence. The values delivered by Total Process Automation are well aligned with the values delivered by Rockwell’s PlantPAx modern DCS.
