“Finally, a system that will actually connect all my control systems
Not any more. For the first time in 25 years, a significant new category of automation and information system is now available—one that forever eliminates islands of automation and the usual impediments to achieving true asset optimization. It’s called the Enterprise Control System, a system that unifies ALL automation and information technologies into one unified business environment—regardless of supplier—without the prohibitive costs associated with the integration of
Different from traditional automation systems made up of DCSs, Safety Systems, PLCs and SCADA, an ECS platform encompasses much more, easily and affordably integrating the entire plant floor with top-level business systems like CRM, ERP and HR. And, unlike other solutions with clumsy, expensive bridges to business systems, an ECS does so in a simple, elegant way—with a high degree of interoperability—faster, easier, cheaper.

More. You always need more. More time. More money. More asset performance. And there are really only two ways to squeeze more business value from the plant. Improve asset availability or improve asset utilization. Period. The trick is to do both—by striking a delicate balance between availability and utilization simultaneously. Balance both in real time and you begin to achieve a high degree of optimization and economic improvement. This methodology for process plants to safely maximize the business value from every plant asset is called Asset Performance Management.

“With the InFusion ECS, I get the plant floor information I need,
Lack of trust in the information presented
Invensys recognizes that Operations must have complete faith in the integrity of the information presented. And, that it must be presented in a timely fashion. The InFusion ECS does both by utilizing data validation techniques as well as transacting information in real time, eliminating the need for manually entered information done periodically. Because the InFusion ECS aggregates information from all plant systems, it easily presents useful information such as enterprisewide safety integrity, delivering enhanced visibility and one less thing to worry about. As a unifying platform, the InFusion ECS has the capacity to provide operators with a consistent, single view of the entire enterprise. This approach enables operators to predict abnormalities and effectively respond to emergency situations with confidence.

Problem
Problem
Too little time and resources to learn a lot of different tools
Need short delivery time
Need one engineering environment Want a system without limits Difficult to communicate and share information with plant-wide systems Need a reliable and secure system that maintenance can easily handle Solution The InFusion ECS provides a unified configuration and engineering environment. It is designed with simplified and common software toolsets, common human interfacing and standardized templatebased objects. Objects can be easily deployed and reused across multi-site operations. Based upon a standardized function set, configuration of the ECS now becomes a matter of assembling application objects in a fashion similar to constructing a process flow diagram. By shifting the emphasis away from programming and toward assembling strategies, engineers can now spend more time devising better, safer control strategies. The InFusion ECS not only reduces mundane programming tasks, but makes it easier and far less risky to make application changes—ensuring global consistency and best practices. The cost of project implementation is greatly reduced, making engineers’ lives easier and more productive. The Infusion ECS extends the tradition of the Invensys Continuously Current philosophy, allowing the incorporation of new technologies as they evolve. The extensible nature of application objects also means that functionality can continue to evolve over time without being stuck with the fixed bill of materials typically associated with legacy systems.
Minimize downtime and risk Reduce mundane programming tasks Simplify with one configuration environment Reuse and deploy applications
Reduce costs, labor, parts, equipment Hate unplanned calls So much equipment—need first pass diagnostics to know who to deploy Need all systems talking Want to evolve system, not replace Solution Improving the availability of plant assets has a direct impact on the bottom line. The InFusion ECS allows you to maximize asset availability, while also reducing costs, labor, parts and equipment, providing a reliable, secure system your maintenance people can easily use. The InFusion ECS is equipped to handle your equipment load. With better access to information, you’ll know when something goes wrong and how best to direct your energies to fix the problem. Consistent information means you’ll spend more time where it’s really needed, and less time on unplanned calls. Consolidated information is easy to mine for KPIs and easy to share with managers. Superior interoperability means all your systems can now communicate with each other and you can communicate better with Operations. Better still, the InFusion ECS provides a system that evolves over time, so you won’t have to replace it every ten years.
Reduce costs, labor, parts and equipment Avoid unplanned calls Leverage advanced diagnostic capabilities Evolve, don’t replace, your system
