System Support
The requirements for process control and monitoring systems are becoming increasingly complex. User-focused problem-solving should be the main consideration throughout every phase of each project: from specification through engineering, installation, commissioning, operator training, production and beyond.
OP-TEC Systems provides full support from project conception to the conclusion of active operation, including project management, the integration of specialist sub-systems, existing process control equipment and management information systems.
Specific Information
Open Access to Process Data
The volume and complexity of data coming from production processes is continuously increasing. This data can and should be used to make decisions in real-time.
- Operations managers need access to process, laboratory and maintenance data in order to make effective operating decisions.
- Business managers need to have access to real-time and historic process information for review and analysis of plant performance.
- Corporate planners require the integration of process and business data.
Standard interfaces and software allow seamless integration of process information with third-party software packages, as well as PLC’s, tank gauging, condition monitoring and other process systems.
OP-TEC Systems’ specialist services support this important integration of process data.
Engineering Services
OP-TEC Systems has a full project capability in applications and system software engineering. Our expertise spans the life cycle of process control systems and their successful development and integration within industrial environments. Our applications engineers can “reverse engineer” many existing DCS, PLC and SCADA applications, providing software conversion from “ageing” systems to “state-of-the-art” control solutions.
In the case of companies whose process plant does not support extensive control & instrumentation expertise, OP-TEC offers the economic solution of “part-time” specialist support.
Flexibility for the Future
Technological advances in measurement and control systems present challenges and opportunities for both, systems suppliers and users. To be effective, a strong partnership between the supplier and the customer are needed to merge the experience of both sides. This helps to produce systems which are capable of profitable operation and incorporate the flexibility for future change and expansion.
Since the very start of the DCS era, it has been necessary for ever-changing technology to be managed to complement installed systems. Some DCS vendors have succeeded in providing forward and backward compatibility to sustain their customers’ trust – many have failed. As an independent supplier of control and information systems, we offer “state of the art” power and performance, whilst maintaining “Open Systems Connectivity” to increase our clients' competitive edge.
We support the long-term needs of our customers, helping them to evolve their current technologies to ‘next generation’ solutions for process management and control.
OP-TEC Systems offers an integrated package of products and specialist services which blend with our clients' skills to provide:
- Products and services which meet site-specific needs
- An effective partnership
- State of the art, “open” technologies
- Logical paths for future development
- Strategic planning
- Experienced engineering resources
