MAVERICK Technologies Releases Multi-Generational Control System White Paper

Most process industry companies are running plants using a mix of old and new technologies. Maintaining and upgrading these systems provides a variety of challenges, and this white paper offers insights to help users evaluate existing systems and plan upgrades.

Automation systems integrator MAVERICK Technologies has released a new white paper, “Integrating Multigenerational Automation Systems,” describing a situation facing many process industry companies: their distributed control systems have become a mix of old and new technologies that all have to work together. Keeping older parts of the system running and communicating with newer equipment poses a variety of challenges.

This white paper helps plant operators consider the right questions as they evaluate what they have and look at new offerings. Author Chad Harper considers options in a way not favoring any particular supplier’s system.

MAVERICK Technologies has successfully integrated multigenerational systems and performed upgrades using a wide variety of platforms, so this discussion applies regardless of the suppliers involved. Harper draws on MAVERICK’s experience working with customers on new and old control systems in hundreds of plants.
