Process solutions set the standard


It used to be that to get optimal production output you had to make sacrifices elsewhere... maybe line speed or product quality. But today, modern process solutions such as PlantPAx, minimise the need for such trade-offs and give engineers far greater control, efficiency and opportunities to optimise production.


PlantPAx is the next generation of plantwide control that can seamlessly integrate with suppliers’ equipment, while meeting the needs of the entire manufacturing enterprise in a single, open, universal control platform. It provides a single, scalable, plant-wide platform for process control, packaging and high-speed applications.

Providing seamless information flow from plant-floor instrumentation up to MES Systems, it’s a flexible, expandable, affordable all-in-one solution for process automation applications. It helps users maximise productivity, improve quality and reliability, optimise flexibility and speed-tomarket. It also helps them reduce the cost of implementation while minimising life cycle costs and achieving regulatory compliance.

By using a single, open, industry standard control platform you can reduce maintenance costs through cost-effective service contracts, reduced parts inventory and parts costs, reduced training and maintenance costs and complete scalability. PlantPAx incorporates a number of production optimisation technologies to help users achieve cost reductions, decreased emissions, consistent quality and production increases, every production minute.

It also helps to improve decision making as it utilises a distributed, data management strategy. Plant-wide data is collected, stored and analysed and an integrated set of decision-making tools and dashboards is provided. With Model Predictive Control technology – an intelligence layer on top of your core automation systems – you can utilise closedloop improvements of your operations in real-time, compare them to desired results, and model new control targets to reduce in-process variability and improve process performance.
