Why Upgrade?

Some legacy control systems can no longer meet corporate objectives that include enterprise-wide sharing of business information. Nor can they enlist advanced control capabilities that enable greater efficiency, lower costs, and improved regulatory compliance—while responding to demands for higher reliability and service quality. Updating equipment also enables plants to realize incremental value by providing the infrastructure for new solutions such as fire & safety, information sharing with MES and ERP tools, and wireless applications. Honeywell offers a cost-effective, continuous evolution path from your existing systems to the unified Experion® Process Knowledge System (PKS). Experion integrates advanced applications that work together across your entire facility to increase productivity and decrease maintenance costs. Download the white paper for more detailed information on upgrading your technology Improving Plant Performance through Updating Technology As automation technology progresses at an incredible rate, power plants around the world are challenged with the decision to upgrade to newer systems or keep maintaining older equipment. Both approaches can be costly for an operation, and plant managers need to consider multiple factors such as short-term vs. long-term payoff, uptime, cost, process performance and integration capabilities when deciding upon a course of action. Experion PKS: Dare to Compare How does Honeywell stack up against the competition? See what makes the Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS), so much more than a DCS. Experion PKS unites your people, process, assets and business for improved profitability.
