New Modernization Program from Invensys Improves Performance of Aging Plant Assets
英維思現(xiàn)代化升級計(jì)劃提升工廠老化資產(chǎn)績效
Invensys Operations Management, a global provider of technology systems, software solutions and consulting services to the manufacturing and infrastructure operations industries, has unveiled a new program designed to help clients modernize and improve the performance of their aging control systems and other plant assets. The program guides clients in justifying modernization costs, reducing risk, deploying advanced technology and approaching plant upgrades strategically and systematically.
制造業(yè)和基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施運(yùn)營行業(yè)的技術(shù)系統(tǒng)、軟件解決方案和咨詢服務(wù)的全球領(lǐng)導(dǎo)供應(yīng)商――英維思運(yùn)營管理推出一項(xiàng)新計(jì)劃,旨在幫助客戶提升其老化的控制系統(tǒng)和其它工廠資產(chǎn)的績效并實(shí)現(xiàn)現(xiàn)代化。該計(jì)劃可指導(dǎo)客戶調(diào)整現(xiàn)代化改造成本、降低風(fēng)險(xiǎn)、部署先進(jìn)技術(shù),并戰(zhàn)略化、系統(tǒng)化地實(shí)現(xiàn)工廠升級改造。
“Today’s manufacturers are facing new, more complicated challenges, even as their equipment and workforce continue to age,” said Dave Gaertner, global consulting director, Invensys Operations Management. “In order to comply with increasingly complex regulatory guidelines, minimize downtime and maintain safe, environmentally friendly operations, many companies are seeking to modernize their plants with a holistic view of their business requirements instead of making like-for-like equipment replacements. Taking advantage of their existing assets, modernization allows companies to link their business and production processes; remove traditional barriers to collaboration; and empower their most valuable resource-- their people.”
英維思運(yùn)營管理全球咨詢總監(jiān)Dave Gaertner表示:“如今的制造商正面臨著更加復(fù)雜的新挑戰(zhàn),而其設(shè)備和勞動(dòng)力卻持續(xù)老化。為遵守日益復(fù)雜的監(jiān)管條例、最大程度地縮短停機(jī)時(shí)間并保持安全和環(huán)保地運(yùn)營,許多公司在對其工廠進(jìn)行現(xiàn)代化升級時(shí),都設(shè)法從業(yè)務(wù)需求的整體角度出發(fā)而不是采用更換同類設(shè)備的方式。在充分利用現(xiàn)有資產(chǎn)的同時(shí),現(xiàn)代化升級能使公司將其業(yè)務(wù)與生產(chǎn)流程連接在一起;消除傳統(tǒng)的協(xié)作障礙;并且為最寶貴的資源——他們的人員賦予動(dòng)力。”
A holistic approach to modernization can provide the clearest, most cost-effective pathway to improving plant efficiencies, increasing production rates and sustaining profitability. Under the Program, Invensys will deliver full-scope consulting; project management; engineering; installation and maintenance services; and products and solutions that minimize the risk of operating obsolete technologies. The company’s hardware and software offerings address all operational areas of the plant, including instrumentation, I/O and HMI, safety and critical control systems, turbo machinery assets, process safety lifecycle components, cyber security systems and other cross-enterprise assets.
整體現(xiàn)代化升級可提供最為明確、性價(jià)比最高的方式,以改進(jìn)工廠效率、提高生產(chǎn)率并維持利潤率。英維思的這一計(jì)劃將提供全方位的咨詢、項(xiàng)目管理、工程、安裝與維修服務(wù)、以及產(chǎn)品和解決方案,從而將運(yùn)營過時(shí)技術(shù)的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)降到最低程度。英維思公司的硬件和軟件產(chǎn)品涵蓋工廠的所有運(yùn)營領(lǐng)域,包括儀器儀表、I/O與 HMI、安全與關(guān)鍵控制系統(tǒng)、渦輪機(jī)械資產(chǎn)、流程安全性生命周期元件、網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全系統(tǒng)以及其它跨企業(yè)資產(chǎn)。
“Modernizing existing assets to meet today’s new business challenges has many, many benefits,” Gaertner said. “A full-scope modernization program can help reduce total cost of ownership; increase production rates; meet regulatory guidelines and manage risks; extend the life and performance of their systems; and improve response to changing business demand.”
Gaertner 表示:“將現(xiàn)有資產(chǎn)進(jìn)行現(xiàn)代化升級以滿足當(dāng)前的新業(yè)務(wù)挑戰(zhàn)讓企業(yè)受益匪淺。 全方位的現(xiàn)代化計(jì)劃有助于降低總體擁有成本、提高生產(chǎn)率、滿足監(jiān)管要求和管理風(fēng)險(xiǎn)、擴(kuò)展系統(tǒng)的壽命和性能、并能提高對不斷變化的業(yè)務(wù)需求的響應(yīng)能力。”
For companies that know they need to modernize existing assets, but do not know where to begin, Invensys starts with an assessment to understand the company’s business initiatives and issues. The input received is then used to develop a long-range strategic plan that meets the plant’s business and technology needs. As part of the assessment, Invensys also helps clients establish return-on-investment targets.
對于認(rèn)識到需要將其現(xiàn)有資產(chǎn)進(jìn)行現(xiàn)代化升級但卻無從下手的公司,英維思可以從評估開始入手以了解該公司的業(yè)務(wù)計(jì)劃和問題。然后利用獲得的信息來制定一個(gè)長遠(yuǎn)的戰(zhàn)略規(guī)劃,以滿足工廠的業(yè)務(wù)和技術(shù)需求。作為評估的一部分,英維思還幫助客戶建立投資回報(bào)率目標(biāo)。
“Invensys consultants carefully reviewed our issues and the results we wanted to achieve, then they quantified them based on information such as replacement power costs and other forms of ROI,” said Mike Hull, a computer controls supervisor at Arizona-based Salt River Project, the third-largest public power utility in the United States. “Furthermore, Invensys evaluated which of their products and services could address these issues and achieve our desired results. Invensys Operations Management’s modernization program is a game-changer in the industry.”
美國第三大公共電力設(shè)施亞利桑那州鹽河項(xiàng)目計(jì)算機(jī)控制主管Mike Hull表示:“英維思的顧問仔細(xì)審核了我們的問題以及我們想要實(shí)現(xiàn)的結(jié)果,然后他們根據(jù)諸如電力置換成本和其它形式的投資回報(bào)等信息,對問題和目標(biāo)進(jìn)行量化。不僅如此,英維思還評估了哪些產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)可以解決這些問題并能實(shí)現(xiàn)我們期望的結(jié)果。英維思運(yùn)營管理的現(xiàn)代化升級計(jì)劃改變了這個(gè)行業(yè)的游戲規(guī)則。”
For companies that have already developed a modernization plan, but need help executing it, Invensys provides highly-qualified resources, including PMP-certified project managers and engineers who have performed hundreds of modernization projects across the globe.
對于已經(jīng)制定了現(xiàn)代化升級規(guī)劃、但是需要幫助執(zhí)行規(guī)劃的公司,英維思提供各種優(yōu)質(zhì)資源,包括通過PMP認(rèn)證的項(xiàng)目管理人員和工程師,他們都曾在全球各地執(zhí)行了數(shù)以百計(jì)的現(xiàn)代化升級項(xiàng)目。
