Modernization from Legacy DCS to PlantPAx 5.0

PB 25 Rockwell newlogo 400

September 1, 2020

In today’s dynamic production environments, companies are constrained by limited capabilities of their legacy DCS and their ability to support these legacy systems. This session explores the barriers and benefits of modernization, valuable methodologies, execution practices, and tools that assist in planning, budgeting and replacing legacy DCS systems.

We will explore how different outcomes gained during a modernization will enable your digitization, optimization and analytic strategies of the operation. These additional benefits can help reduce the risk during the project and ongoing production while accelerating the ROI.

Top 3 Industry Drivers:
•    Your legacy DCS is currently hindering productivity and quality
•    Your management requires better access to information from across your plant
•    You are spending significant money on custom integration

Key Takeaways:

Rockwell Automation migration solutions help you incorporate newer technologies at a phased pace that is comfortable for you.
•    Minimize downtime
•    Maximize Operational Success
•    Lessen the risk of maintaining legacy equipment

5 Reasons for Improving Collaborations Between ECAD and MCAD Applications

Electrical computer-design (ECAD) software and mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD) software play an equally central role in many design engineering applications. To keep up with the increasing complexity of product development in many sectors, it is essential for ECAD and MCAD teams to collaborate effectively. When working productively and managing their responsibilities efficiently, it makes downstream problems easier to identify and resolve earlier on in the process, saving your business time and money.
