Special Report:
Make the Most of Control System Migration
Assets age, it is a fact of life. Migration of these assets can sometimes be a daunting task but a necessary one for improving overall plant performance. In this Special Report: System Migration, we delve in to how to develop a strategy for control system migration and we also identify common pitfalls to avoid when undergoing a system migration. This report also provides a real-life case study of how one Orlando, FL-based cryogenic air-separation plant pioneered a successful HMI migration strategy in order to achieve new capabilities through upgrading equipment – and investment pay back to boot.
