May 19, 2021

Improving the reliability of manufacturing processes can be done with the help of process control systems. The most significant advantage of control stations is that they help ensure that the processes are running smoothly. It provides predictable and stable operations, which yield several benefits for the industry. Some of these include:

1. Improved Safety: Safe operations cannot be compromised at any cost. To maintain the safety of the plant along with maximizing the production potential, you need to invest in certified control systems.

2. Lower Cost of Operations: Reducing labor cost and increasing efficiency is possible with an automated control system. The overall cost of operations can be reduced by minimizing wastage and reducing service interruptions.

3. Energy Efficient: The usage of control systems makes for an energy-efficient process with lesser wastage of time and resources. It allows for the optimal usage and allocation of resources during the production process.

4. Better Control Over Production: You can easily regulate and optimize the production process with the help of automated control systems that have been made to maximize the efficiency of your manufacturing unit.

5. Increased production quality: Reduced human error and consistent performance make for high-quality execution of processes. This improves the quality of the production process.

6. Flexibility: The use of automated control systems offers more flexibility to your production. This can be used across various industries and can be used to improve the quality of production.

7. Focused Reporting: With the help of control systems, you can access focused and customized reports anytime as per your convenience.

8. Aids in Decision Making: A control station can help you gain access to information that will help you make better decisions regarding the processes. You can identify faults in the system and make future decisions based on this information.

9. Improve Downtime: Along with your processes getting more efficient, you will also reduce downtime by easier troubleshooting.

10. Gain Access to New Opportunities: With the help of control stations, you can take on more work and delivery efficient results to the customers. This will help your production improve, and your business will expand quickly.

It’s 10:00 p.m. Do You Know Where Your Data Is?

What’s the most critical information in your control system network? If you’re like most life sciences OT/IT professionals I meet, you’ll be able to answer that question even before I finish asking it. Identifying critical system data – and recognizing the need to protect it – in many ways is the easy part. But designing a network infrastructure that can both help mitigate cybersecurity risk and take advantage of the latest Internet of Things (IOT) technologies can be a sticking point.
