About
Are you relying on knowledge passed from one employee to the next to run your plant? Has your control system evolved over 20-years or more? And does it span a wide range of technologies, sub-systems, standards and work processes? Perhaps it’s time to assess your Distributed Control System (DCS) and begin planning for the future and a connected chemical plant.

But you know as well as anyone that chemical processes are inherently complex. Migrating a legacy DCS is equally complicated. You need to understand the most effective ways to plan for a migration that’s going to give you a digital foundation, a foundation on which you can build for the future and optimize your operations. You need to look at innovating rather than just replicating what you’re currently using.

This webinar will help you navigate the right ways to plan your migration and help you understand how you can benefit from putting in place a digital-ready control system.
Agenda
  • Why it makes good business sense to migrate control systems
  • The best, most effective approach to migrate
  • When adopting a modern DCS, what benefits the migration can deliver
