ANS helps clients to integrate their process control networks with modern business systems. The key challenge of designing a process control network is to implement an architecture that allows access to process information and integration with business and high level systems, while maintaining a consistent level of performance and throughput for critical applications such as alarming and environmental monitoring. This open network architecture offers security and flexibility. The ANS group works closely with clients and other Matrikon groups to provide a complete integrated solution to process control and business systems.
Many industrial operations have limited network expertise, particularly on process systems.
The result can be significant performance bottlenecks that are easily remedied with proper network configuration or enhancements. In addition, a number of our clients have expressed an increased desire to improve the availability of their systems while reducing the administration required. Whether you are supplementing existing equipment with current technologies, or migrating to a cost-effective open network architecture, the Advanced Network Services group can work with you to develop the best solution. This can range from simple availability improvements to eliminating all single sources of failures.
