"Migrating is not just changing systems, it's transforming control for maximum performance"
DCS system migration is an opportunity to modernize control and enhance operational performance. However, replicating the same structures can perpetuate inefficiencies. CPC Engineering offers an analytical and comprehensive approach that transforms legacy logic into an optimized system tailored to the new DCS capabilities.
How we apply it
Instead of copying the previous logic, we carry out a complete review of the system architecture. We identify redundancies, outdated logic, and missed opportunities. We work closely with the client to understand both current functionality and future requirements, building a standardized, clean, and efficient solution.
Common pitfalls in typical migrations
- Failure Replication: Inefficient structures and problems from the original system are directly transferred.
- Underused Potential: New controller functionalities and enhancements are not fully leveraged.
- Lack of Standardization: Multiple solutions remain for similar processes, complicating maintenance.
- Retention of "Deadwoods": Unnecessary logic and configurations persist due to partial deletions.
At CPC Engineering, we support DCS migration through in-depth analysis of the structures to be implemented.
Key actions in migration analysis
- Comprehensive Architecture Review: We adapt the control structure to optimize performance according to the process type.
- New DCS Functionality Analysis: We ensure full utilization of the benefits provided by the new platform.
- Structure Standardization: We implement uniform solutions for identical processes, simplifying operation and maintenance.
- Deadwood Analysis and Removal: We identify and eliminate obsolete and unnecessary logic and configurations.
