SIS design centres

Over the past four years ABB's global network of Safety Execution Centres (SEC) has expanded from eight centres to 20. These centres provide customers with local resources for safety instrumented system (SIS) design, engineering and project execution, as well as access to resident safety standards experts and technology experts. In total, this global team includes more than 500 TÃœV certified and ABB technology certified safety engineers.

Stuart Nunns, global manager of ABB's Safety Execution Centre program, says: "The need for reliable engineering resources and quality safety automation solutions has exponentially grown over the past few years; the depth and scope of our regulatory, technical and project execution knowledge provides our customers with the trusted expertise they need to successfully protect the integrity of their process, plant and people."
