Rockwell Automation to replace DCS at Warwick Chemicals

羅克韋爾自動(dòng)化為Warwick Chemicals更新DCS系統(tǒng)

December 22, 2011 - Warwick Chemicals awarded a $1.9 million order to Rockwell Automation. The multiphase project will replace Warwick Chemicals’ distributed control system (DCS) solution with the Rockwell Automation PlantPAx process automation system to achieve a lower total cost of ownership, open connectivity with third-party systems, and improved service and support.

12月22日消息--Warwick Chemicals授予了羅克韋爾自動(dòng)化一份價(jià)值190萬(wàn)美元的訂單。這一多階段項(xiàng)目將把Warwick Chemical的分布式控制系統(tǒng)(DCS)解決方案替換成羅克韋爾自動(dòng)化的PlantPAx流程自動(dòng)化系統(tǒng)，從而降低總體擁有成本，實(shí)現(xiàn)與第三方系統(tǒng)的開放式連接，以及改善服務(wù)與支持。

Warwick Chemicals leads the global market in manufacturing bleach activators for the detergent and biocides industries. “Our current DCS was installed in 1994, extended in 1998, and then extended again in 2001. By replacing our 17-year-old DCS infrastructure, Rockwell Automation will help us meet productivity goals and aggressive process improvement plans,” said Colin Ainsworth, electrical, control and instrument engineer at Warwick Chemicals. According to research performed by the ARC Advisory Group, the global process industry loses approximately $20 billion annually, or about five percent of annual production, due to unscheduled downtime from aging DCS systems.

Warwick Chemicals在清潔劑與生物滅殺劑行業(yè)漂白活化劑的生產(chǎn)方面處于全球領(lǐng)先地位。Warwick Chemicals電子、控制與儀器工程師Colin Ainsworth表示：“我們目前的DCS系統(tǒng)安裝于1994年，之后又在1998年和2001年相繼進(jìn)行了擴(kuò)展。通過(guò)替換我們已使用17年的DCS基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施，羅克韋爾自動(dòng)化將幫助我們實(shí)現(xiàn)生產(chǎn)目標(biāo)，以及開展積極的流程改善計(jì)劃。”ARC管理集團(tuán)開展的研究顯示，老舊DCS系統(tǒng)的計(jì)劃外停機(jī)時(shí)間導(dǎo)致全球流程行業(yè)每年損失約200億美元，約占年產(chǎn)量的5%。

“This win is significant because it demonstrates Warwick Chemicals’ increasing trust in Rockwell Automation as its process control supplier,” said John Genovesi, vice president and general manager of the Information Software and Process Business, Rockwell Automation. “The PlantPAx process automation system provides Warwick with a single, integrated control platform based on standard communication protocols, which minimizes integration and maintenance costs while offering invaluable production insight. This win is an example of our growing position in the process control industry.”

羅克韋爾自動(dòng)化信息軟件與流程業(yè)務(wù)副總裁兼總經(jīng)理John Genovesi表示：“獲得這份訂單對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)意義重大，因?yàn)樗砻鱓arwick Chemicals對(duì)羅克韋爾自動(dòng)化作為其流程控制供應(yīng)商的信任日益增強(qiáng)。PlantPAx流程自動(dòng)化系統(tǒng)為Warwick提供了一個(gè)基于標(biāo)準(zhǔn)通信協(xié)議的單一集成控制平臺(tái)，簡(jiǎn)化集成和減低維護(hù)成本，同時(shí)還能提供寶貴的生產(chǎn)見解。贏得這份訂單是我們?cè)诹鞒炭刂菩袠I(yè)的地位不斷提升的一個(gè)例證。”

Previously Warwick Chemicals relied on multiple control platforms for its manufacturing process. “PlantPAx will extend our success with Rockwell Automation to our process operations,” said Ainsworth. “It will also help us migrate to a single, plantwide control platform that will be easier for our engineering staff to operate and maintain.”

在此之前，Warwick Chemicals的制造流程依賴多個(gè)控制平臺(tái)。Ainsworth表示：“PlantPAx將與羅克韋爾自動(dòng)化一起把我們的成功拓展到我們的流程業(yè)務(wù)中。它還將幫助我們遷移到一個(gè)單一的工廠級(jí)控制平臺(tái)，這將讓我們施工人員的操作與維護(hù)工作變得更加容易。”

“We’re pleased and honored to deliver this project,” said Terry Gebert, vice president and general manager, Rockwell Automation Global Solutions. “Our track record of successful DCS migrations continues to pave the way for Rockwell Automation and the PlantPAx system to be recognized as the best replacement for traditional DCS systems worldwide.”

羅克韋爾自動(dòng)化全球解決方案副總裁兼總經(jīng)理Terry Gebert表示：“我們很高興也很榮幸能負(fù)責(zé)這個(gè)項(xiàng)目。我們?cè)贒CS遷移方面成功的過(guò)往紀(jì)錄將繼續(xù)助力羅克韋爾自動(dòng)化和PlantPAx在全球被公認(rèn)是傳統(tǒng)DCS系統(tǒng)的最佳替代方案。”
