DCS for modern process industries

A distributed control system (DCS) is the platform of choice for large, continuous plants – integrating control, supervision and operations into a single environment.

  • Centralised view of the entire plant with distributed controllers
  • Redundant networks, servers and controllers for high availability
  • Integrated alarm, historian and engineering tools

What a good DCS should deliver

  • Consistent control strategy from field to control room
  • Standardised graphics, faceplates and alarm philosophy
  • Easy expansion and online modifications during plant life
  • Seamless integration with PLC, SCADA and enterprise systems

DCS platforms we support

We work with leading DCS vendors to engineer, migrate and support systems across power, oil & gas, chemicals, water, mining and other process industries.
