The Quick Scan Industrial Automation provides a cost-effective and now well-proven approach to further enhance and optimize current process control- and supervision systems to maximize operational benefits.
Adding value through suggesting and implementing possible improvements in the various business processes, is what we stand for. At a certain point, your process-control is at the end of its technical and / or economic life, or lacks support of the manufacturer or supplier on the (outdated) system components. In that case the reliability and availability of your system hardware leaves to be desired. Fortunately in such a situation it is not always necessary to replace your process control system as a whole, or at once. This way the maximum return on investment is guaranteed. A migration path made to measure, may in some cases have a positive impact on the Total Cost of Ownership, without compromising the reliability of your installation.
Inventory
Which parts of the existing process control system need an upgrade or possible replacement? Which parts are the most time critical in its life-cycle? What hardware and spare parts are no longer supported by the supplier?
Risk Analysis
Finding an answer to the question: What is the risk is if I do not replace or adjust? POTENTIAL RISK = CHANCE * IMPACT
Migration
Are there migration paths, with maximum preservation of the installed base, and is there an opportunity for optimization and at what risks, costs and related plan of action?
Replacement
Is an alternative scenario of a ‘Big-Bang’ technically, economically and organizationally feasible at the criteria and weighting factors, established by the end user i.e. a total replacement of the process control system?
Reliability
How to ensure continuity and availability of process control systems, with a maximum lifespan in the most cost-effective manner? Reduce Operational Life-Cycle costs, or continue to deliver savings in the automation of your business?
