Act with Agility

Making performance bottlenecks a thing of the past

The typical hybrid system tends to develop performance bottlenecks as you scale up your operations

Broadband production control architecture ensures bottleneck-free performance and super scalability

Typical hybrid system:

CENTUM CS 3000 Integrated Production Control System:

- As scale increases and operational complexity grows, demand on cross-component communications often turns into performance bottlenecks

- Keeping pace with growth requires the purchase of excessive number of small controllers and repeated software licenses

- Broadband:
Vnet and Vnet/IP secure broadband control network

- Scalable:
Single architecture field-proven performance from one node to one million tags

- Non-stop:
99.99999% availability "pair & spare" controller

BEFORE: Hybrid systems troubled by bottlenecks prevent the full use of rich field information AFTER: Broadband systems ready to leverage digital field information easily scale as business grows

The Act with Agility Advantage

Broadband connection from the digital sensors through the control network secures high-speed bi-directional communications, making your plant ready to tap the unprecedented wealth of digital field information. Secure and open architecture connects the plant floor with the control room, the maintenance shop and the plant management, making fast intelligent decisions possible. As business success leads to plant growth, system expansion is painless and disruption-free with the super-scalable single-architecture.
