How does the new process control system let me perform interdisciplinary tasks within the project even more efficiently?
▼
Answer
Interdisciplinary teams
The defined work packages are distributed at the beginning of the project. Through central, object-oriented data management and session concepts, all experts can work in parallel and at different times. This can be vertical or horizontal, as needed.

What makes the new process control system so user-friendly?
▼
Answer
Intuitive operation
It has an intuitive user interface and a consistent workbench for all tasks, combined with object-oriented data management and a dedicated session concept for maximum consistency.
Object orientation
Object orientation
What is an object-oriented data model?
▼
Answer
Object orientation
It means that the different parameters of a process object can be processed without leaving the context. All information is consistently available at all times for everyone involved, from all disciplines, and is managed centrally by the system.

How can I focus more on my tasks even while the flood of information grows daily?
▼
Answer
Smart assistants
During complex inquiries, smart assistants will be able to greatly simplify your work. They will make it possible to interact efficiently with the control system, for example via voice control or with seamlessly connected AR and VR applications.
Global collaboration

How do I ensure that plant projects can still be carried out effectively by globally distributed teams in the future?
▼
Answer
Global collaboration
For instance, if Klaus in Germany needs help from Ragavan in India, he simply sends him the browser link to the appropriate project in an encrypted email. Once Ragavan has authenticated himself, he can begin editing data directly in the project.

How can the collaboration between the control room and maintenance personnel be improved? For example during commissioning?
▼
Answer
Workflow optimization
In the future, one person alone can perform a loop check in the plant from a tablet or laptop. You´ll have access to all system data and can switch back and forth between Engineering and Monitoring & Control at the press of a button. In one system!
Web-based

I currently have to work in control system projects on my local client, since that’s where the system is installed. How does this change with the new system?
▼
Answer
Web-based
The fully HTML5-based system can be reliably accessed from almost any common (mobile) device. All you need is an up-to-date browser, a secure Internet connection, and the appropriate access rights as well as authentication.

Process control systems are often very complex, and they are extremely complicated to operate and install. Do I have to use a SCADA system with smaller plants?
▼
Answer
Ease of use
A clear structure and intuitive operation make working with the new system efficient and quick to learn. It can be easily administered over a secure Internet connection and is suitable for even the smallest applications.
Expandability
Expandability
My plant is in operation. Does the new process control system provide a way to add new components without stopping production?
▼
Answer
Expandability
Yes. Anytime, even during operation. Simply by using the existing engineering system. Based on the existing operator consoles. No need to upgrade operator stations separately, thanks to HTML5. Add further users easily and securely via the web.
Modularization

Modularization: Can the new control system support me when it comes to the latest standardization initiatives in the process industry?
▼
Answer
Modularization
New modules or package units can be loaded at the press of a button and connected digitally to other modules and the control system – plug-and-produce: plant assembly according to the modular principle and end-to-end orchestration during operation.
