Process Control for Chemical Manufacturing – Offerings

Overview

Infosys Chemical Manufacturing establishes a robust architecture for Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) and associated instrumentation, including wireless devices, sensors and enterprise networks. Our advanced automation solutions significantly reduce human intervention in monitoring, analysis and reporting, thereby facilitating efficient management of complex operations.

Infosys partners with organic and inorganic chemical manufacturers; industrial, consumer and agrochemical product companies; and bulk and specialty chemicals producers to adopt Distributed Control Systems (DCS) that synchronize and control multiple Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) in a plant. Our team implements embedded platforms as well as command and control systems for industrial processes. Our rich experience in Rockwell RSLogix, Citect SCADA 2016, SolarWinds, and MDT AutoSave helps in creating an integrated environment for automated control systems.

In an integrated ecosystem, output from industrial and process controllers is consumed by Manufacturing Execution System (MES), ERP applications, thin clients, and web servers to enhance reliability of operations. Notably, our data structure facilitates real-time data transfer between PLCs, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) tools, and engineering stations.

Infosys Chemical Manufacturing leverages an integrated operating model for managed service delivery. We optimize DCS logic and migrate legacy PLC code to modern programs. Our approach reduces the time taken for code engineering, accelerates troubleshooting of PLC code issues, and improves accuracy of converted code. Further, we develop SCADA and HMI graphics for migration / upgrade, and undertake factory acceptance testing of controller software.

Our team configures and updates controller tags, and offers engineering, maintenance and support services for PLC and SCADA platforms. We undertake root cause analysis of operational issues, which eliminates recurrent issues and increases availability of control systems. Infosys First Response Team collaborates with stakeholders and equipment suppliers to resolve production issues. Infosys Remote Support Team resolves L1 to L4 issues and offers support services from remote locations.

We comply with standards for batch process control, sequential control and integration of control systems.
