ProcessIT
Ready’s ProcessIT group bridges the gap between our clients’ corporate information technology departments and their plant process control groups. Our expertise is information technology in the critical process control environment, and safe interconnection to business systems outside of the protected plant network. Our processIT group is vendor neutral and has six main areas of expertise:
Data Historian
Ready specializes in the design, implementation and integration of the following Process Historian platforms:
| Vendor | Platform |
|---|---|
| OSI | PI |
| Aspentech | IP.21 and CIM/21, Process Explorer, Web.21 |
| Wonderware | InSQL, Active Factory |
| Westinghouse | eDB Enterprise Process Historian |
| GE | Proficy Historian, Proficy Real-Time Information Portal |
| Capstone | PARCSuite (PARCView, PARCServer) |
A key role of ProcessIT is the facilitation of data communication. This includes the fundamental infrastructure of physical switches, routers, and cable, and the secure design and configuration of industrial networks. More specialized are ProcessIT solutions that allow different technology platforms to communicate with each other and exchange data effectively:
- Legacy process control system communication with new controllers and process historians.
- Proprietary system interfaces to open protocol systems.
- Communication between multiple proprietary systems.
The ProcessIT group also serves a critical role in Process Improvement and Reliability Engineering. By combining our in-depth plant knowledge with sophisticated IT technologies we can bring data from the plant floor into the corporate boardroom. Information can be combined from several sources and used for any of the following:
- Predictive or Condition Based maintenance strategies based on real-time process data.
- Analysis of long term patterns to identify potential process improvement.
- Provision of real-time data to anyone in the company and not just those in the control room.
- Downtime reporting, Key Performance Indicators, and Equipment Condition Monitoring.
Ready configures, designs, programs, and deploys applications across a wide range of technology platforms to meet the demands of its heavy industrial customers.
