Prioritizing next year's control system integration projects

摘要

Sure, it's still this year, but it's time to look ahead to next year's projects with insights from system integrators to plan and prioritize upcoming projects. A facility walkthrough with an outside expert may reveal opportunities you didn't know about. 1. What insights can you offer to help prioritize 2021 control system integration or other automation integration projects? There's an obvious difference between projects that mitigate end-of-life/obsolete hardware issues and those intended to improve operations. While both are important, avoiding unexpected and/or prolonged downtime due to failure of a hard-to-find obsolete component carries the most risk. Combining these life-extending projects with ones that improve operating performance at the same time should always be considered as the best bang for the buck.
