Implementing Plant-Wide Distributed Control Systems (DCS)
Role
Lead
Project type
DCS
Benefits
Enhanced remote monitoring and control reduced downtime, minimized operational disruptions, and improved overall plant performance while reducing on-site maintenance costs.
In a food and beverage facility, we implemented a Distributed Control System (DCS) using Rockwell FactoryTalk Site Edition. This upgrade centralized plant operations, allowing authorized users to monitor and adjust machinery setpoints remotely, both in office and away from the site. The system provided real-time alarming for critical production conditions and enabled historical data trending for improved troubleshooting. Over 30 pieces of equipment were integrated, each featuring an average of 50+ I/O points and 30+ alarms.
