architecture, a collaborative system
that integrates both hardware and
software components throughout the
plant, offering flexible, scalable and
collaborative architectures. It allows
companies to optimise their energy
use and drive efficiency within their
operations while improving
productivity.

Michel Crochon, executive vice
president, industry business,

information silos with open,
standards-based technologies to
drive speed and agility – helping
users gain a competitive advantage. ”
The system allows easy
collaboration between plant and
operation managers, as well as
engineering and maintenance teams
through its powerful software suite
combined with field proven
hardware and open Ethernet-based
technologies. It enables high process
availability and offers redundancy
and functional safety at each level of
the architecture, to meet the needs of
a wide range of industries.
