Control system integrationsplay a great role in performance excellence

Are you running a company in the pharmaceutical, packaging, food or any other industry and want to increase your overall efficiency and productivity? If so, then consider integrating your control panel with your enterprise’s systems.

Control systems such as human-machine interfaces (HMI) include control system integration, fabrication, configuration, and installation. They are designed to manage the manufacturing process remotely from a control room. For any industry where human interaction with machines or automated devices is very important, HMIs play a very important role.

Some of the benefits of control panel systems include:

•        Increased productivity
•        Improved efficiency of engineers in the facility
•        Serve as an access point for equipment that is not directly connected
•         Reduced cost and time of reconfiguring the equipment

Although there are many advanced technologies and devices for controlling and monitoring the machines, even control panels are becoming more important for engineers because of their flexibility and capability to handle large applications alone. Nowadays, they are not only used for operating machines smoothly, but also used in competitive differentiation as a key role.

Control panels trends to watch

Here are some of the benefits of using control panels:

·        Predictive capabilities- Now, you can replace and maintain the components of the machine before faults occur with a control panel’s capability to predict when the machine repair will be required.

·        The ruggedness of control panels- Ruggedness is the next trend of modern control panels because control panels need to stand up to harsh conditions such as hot or cold temperatures, shocks, and vibrations for some industries like oil and gas. However, now they can withstand those situations more easily with its rugged housing.

·         Cohesive protection- Control panelsare also used against cyber crimes, which are a major issue of rapidly growing industries. This is because control panels sit between the Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) networks, serving as a gateway, enabling organizations to easily deploy IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) solutions on both existing and new equipment while keeping them secure.

·         Sensitive alarms-Sensitive alarms are another major change for engineers in the control system. These alarms are not only easy to understand but they also provide a lot of information. With sensitive alarms, alerts can be sent directly to the technicians for maintenance. So, now, operators can continue their work without worrying about the machine malfunctioning.

Control panel systems are playing a great role in improving performance. Therefore, you need custom designed control systems for your industry. For that, you should get in touch with a reputable company that works closely with you to precisely define your control system design needs and understand the environments where your application will be performed.
