Honeywell: Experion® PKS Reduces Cost, Risk and Schedule during Project Implementation

Industrial plant projects have historically been measured by cost and schedule only. As such, automation technology decisions sometimes are totally cost-driven without consideration for integration, long-term sustainability and maintenance. Yet those technologies determine the overall operating performance of the facility.

Many industrial organizations are extending Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contracts into the operational life of the plant, so the EPC is held accountable for on-time startup as well as actual performance against stated objectives.

As a result, process control decisions are now being introduced at the Front-end Engineering Design (FEED) stage, or even earlier. This requires EPCs to engage the engineering talent of automation suppliers to design and engineer the right solution, not only for the project, but also for the lifecycle of the plant.

EPC firms and automation suppliers have a shared interest in completing automation projects sooner, with reduced costs and less risk throughout the life of the customer's control system investments.
