Control Systems When You Need Them
A change in your industrial control system can be a scary thing. For many, it seems synonymous with unplanned downtime, increased expenses, and extra headaches. But it doesn’t have to.
Working with a trusted control system integration company means working together to develop an optimal integration solution that takes into account your production needs, schedule, and expenses. Then seamlessly implement that plan based on your individual budget, scale, and the scope of integration.
Think of MATRIX EA Company Process Solutions as an extension of your own team. We’ll work directly with you to ensure that you’re getting the right equipment, best support, and anything else you might need to succeed.
System Retrofitting
Many of the older PLC or HMIs still in use today were developed decades ago. And it’s safe to say the process industry has come a long way in modernizing since then. Retrofitting outdated control systems increases both machine and process reliability while reducing unplanned downtime. A control system retrofit also reduces cost through a shorter ROI when compared to purchasing an entire new machine.
System Migration
Take control of your plant modernization strategy through a migration of your control system. In an industry where control system performance can have a dramatic impact on uptimes and bottom lines, having a modern and up to date control system can make all the difference. Moving to a unified control architecture as part of your control system migration is a long-term solution that increases productivity and profitability.
System Upgrade
If you have newer control hardware that hasn’t been touched in recent memory, it may be time for an upgrade. Outdated control software can be one of the simplest causes of unexpected downtime or declining performance. System integrators will check that both your hardware and software are performing within the required parameters to ensure an efficient and streamlined process.
