cycle through project execution to
drive repeatable PlantPAx System
success
Varying system sizes from
OEM/skid-based to distributed
server architectures.

attention with alarms to improve
the productivity, safety, and
environment of your plant
Operational Value
Standards Based Approach to Effective Operations

Operational Value
Plantwide Integration to Power and Field Devices
Integration to Instrumentation & Control
• Provide an immediate and measurable impact
on asset availability, operational efficiency, and
energy management.
• Reduced integration cost of disparate systems.
• Safe monitoring of energized devices on
operator screens.
Reduce MTTR and avoid downtime with informed operators

Partnerships with Process Skid Builders
 Drive consistency in automation designs despite
the shift towards modular-design plants
Overall System Performance
 Proven, tested architectures not only for DCS
applications, but skid-sized solutions as well
to helps ensure total system performance, no excuses
Reduce Integration Cost and Risk
 Helps ensure OEM automation scope is easily integrated
into PlantPAx® according to best practices
and proven methodologies
Operational Value
Supporting Scalable Skid-based Solutions

Hard to find spare parts?
Rising support costs?
Lack of domain expertise?
Limited access to information?
