This document discusses trends in process automation and energy management that are driving needs for new solutions. It outlines implications like reduced workforces and need for flexibility. Conventional solutions like DCS and PLC systems may not fully address needs. The document then introduces PlantStruxure PES as a new generation of process automation system that can help users design, operate and maintain systems simply. It integrates supervision, configuration, process design, logic and alarms into a single environment. It also allows for concurrent engineering and automation of energy management. The document demonstrates PlantStruxure PES through a mining application example and demo of the software.
