5 reasons to upgrade your old DCS to a new automation system

Supplied by NHP Electrical Engineering Products Pty Ltd on Thursday, 03 July, 2014


 An older DCS is typically not capable of running a modern process plant at optimum levels, creating increased costs and possibly causing excessive downtime.

With high maintenance and operating costs, legacy DCSs don’t compare to the benefits associated with a more robust and technically advanced alternative of a new automation system. Also, integration with third-party applications simplifies remote access, provides data for real-time analysis and also enables proactive maintenance. This white paper details specific ways in which a new automation system can deliver superior performance compared to a typical older DCS.
