Plant production management strategies flawed?
A recent study provides strong evidence that process industry automation users are frustrated with the low success levels provided by current plant production management strategies
More than twenty I/A Series operator workstations and three I/A Series engineering workstations will be located in several control rooms on the site.
Distributed around the plant will be 26 I/A Series control processors connecting to myriad I/O devices.
The I/O population will comprise 30,000 OPC, Profibus and Modbus communications points, almost 4000 HART devices, more than 4000 discrete devices, and approximately 1400 Profibus-connected motors.
The Avantis asset management solution will be used to run a maintenance management system for the HART transmitters and valve positioners.
The device condition information flow between the asset management system and the intelligent field devices will employ FDT-DTM technology.
Using the SimSci-Esscor Dynamic Simulation Suite, the new Suzano Bahia Sul implementation will include FSIM Plus, a high fidelity Foxboro control system virtual simulation solution based on the SIM4ME common modeling environment.
In conjunction with Ideas Simulation, Invensys will deploy FSIM Plus initially for I/A Series control system checkout and for operator training at the Mucuri pulp mill site.
Invensys Process Systems Brazil will provide a range of professional services, including configuration engineering, commissioning and start-up services.
The Suzano Papel e Celulose automation contract builds on Invensys Process Systems Brazil market presence and on experience with world-class pulp and paper automation projects, including other major projects in the region.
Invensys has also implemented safety instrumented systems and process systems at additional manufacturing facilities owned by Suzano in Brazil.
