Whether you want to increase the productivity and quality of your plant or reduce the costs, shorten the product introduction time or improve the environmental-friendliness of production processes and technologies with the optimal use of raw materials and energy – to achieve these goals you need to continually optimize processes, modernize and expand systems and plants. A coordinated step-by-step modernization strategy maintains and adds to the value of the installed base in regard to hardware, application software and know-how of the operation and maintenance personnel.
Siemens has therefore offered numerous innovative products and solutions for the migration to SIMATIC PCS 7 for its own control systems (e.g. TELEPERM M, APACS) for years. An important goal of the Siemens migration strategy is a successive procedure that allows the modernization of the installed basis without system interruption and without plant down-time if at all possible. This strategy is adaptable to the special characteristics of the respective plant and is flexible in regard to the specifications of the operator. It always aims to maximize the total return on assets (ROA).
The migration portfolio of Siemens already includes numerous innovative products, tools and services, which have been proven in practice. Migration solutions for control systems for other manufacturers is based on this, e.g. ABB, Bailey, Emerson, Honeywell and Invensys. This allows users of these control systems to take advantage of the globally leading SIMATIC technology, to safeguard their investment in new automation technology for the future. You therefore profit from the performance features of the modern SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system and the synergy effects from Totally Integrated Automation.
