America’s industrial manufacturing plants are facing some of their toughest times amidst a cloudy economic climate and increasing competition from abroad. For most, capital expenditures are limited and the need to lower production cost is critical. As companies seek ways to get the most out of their manufacturing assets, process control upgrades and replacements have become the focus of more engineering studies and projects. Capital budgets, once heavy with production equipment, have given way to more projects that involve process automation and process control hardware.
Advancements in process control technology implores that manufacturers consider the vast solutions and support systems available to them. Increasingly, the relationship between manufacturers and suppliers is overshadowed by the need to integrate and not replace prehistoric systems with current technology.
IIR's new Industrial Control Systems (ICS) database identifies control systems for over 2,000 units in the U.S. Chemical Processing, Petroleum Refining, and Power industries. Users of the database can quickly identify prospects based on the age and type of system currently being used at a plant site. The ICS database serves as a vehicle for vendors and suppliers to introduce advanced control strategies and solutions to manufacturers.
Attributes of the database include:
- Control System Type (DCS, Pneumatic, Analog, PLC, Hybrid, & Manual)
- Control System Make (Ex: Foxboro, GE, Honeywell)
- Control System Model (Ex: TDC 3000, Foxboro IA, Ovations)
- Installation Year
- Monthly Updates
- Electronic Delivery (dbf format)
- Plant & Unit Report Output
