HMI Programming
Precisely monitor, control, and visualize every aspect of your operations for intelligent control using high-performance HMI/SCADA technology. With a quick glance, operators know what’s important and the right actions to drive increased efficiency and reduced costs. Modern Historians change the way companies perform and compete by making data available for asset and process performance analysis.
Redundant Architectures
Rawson premier automation partners offer multiple layers of redundant architectures to promote maximum uptime of critical processes. From simple PLC redundancy to redundant SCADA and historian software implementations to fault-tolerant servers and network design, Rawson can help customers protect their most important processes.
Wireless Systems
Rawson offers a wide array of wireless application capabilities to help customers reduce installation costs, gather information that would otherwise be unattainable, and provide information to the appropriate personnel, anytime and anywhere. We offer point-to-point wireless I/O and communications, wireless instrumentation conforming to both ISA100 and WirelessHart. Cellular RTU communications is available to manage widespread remote operations.
Remote Access
With more people working remotely, establishing secure connection to plant resources for remote employees has become critically important. Rawson can help provide cyber-secure remote access to IT and OT networks without the need to push your critical data through a cloud connection.
Alarming
Through multiple software partners, Rawson offers customers the opportunity to manage process alarms. Alarm management allows operators to focus on only the most important alarms by shelving nuisance alarms for later attention. Remote alarming allows appropriate personnel to be notified and respond to alarms as they happen. Alarm-annunciation panels and controls offer visual indication of alarms with operator instruction for dealing with plant issues as they occur.
Reporting
Data collection continues to be a growing trend throughout our customer base. Adding context to the data through reporting allows management to improve operations, provide financial context to plant operations, and submit required regulatory reports to the relevant agencies. Examples of reports offered are Clean in Place, Water Outflow, Production, Fuel Use, Emissions, and more.
