Based on GE Fanuc‘s proven, award-winning process control technologies, Proficy Process Systems is a fully integrated system that will provide customers with improved quality and reliability, increased throughput, performance and efficiency, and reduced total cost of ownership. "GE Fanuc has been a leading provider of solutions to the process industries for more than 20 years," said Bill Estep, Vice President of GE Fanuc‘s Control Systems Business. "Our expertise in serving these companies has led us to Proficy Process Systems, a state-of-the-art system that will help optimize operational performance, gain operational visibility, and maximize uptime and productivity." The foundation of Proficy Process Systems is a contemporary hardware and software infrastructure that offers the benefits of both traditional DCS and PLC/HMI systems, without many of the historic limitations of those approaches. GE Fanuc‘s multi-disciplined PACSystems controllers can handle process, discrete, and motion control, applications giving users unparalleled flexibility in their control system. GE Fanuc‘s powerful Proficy software technologies empower users with unprecedented visibility, analytics, and connectivity throughout their enterprise. The award-winning HMI/SCADA and Historian technologies, coupled with Batch and a complete Production Management suite allows customers to finally close the gap between automation and information. "Companies in hybrid and continuous process industries are facing unprecedented pressures to perform amidst the growing challenges of global competition, aging technologies and increased regulatory pressures," said Steve Ryan, GE Fanuc Director of Process Solutions. "Proficy Process Systems is designed to provide the power of DCS control with the freedom and flexibility of a PLC-based system. The system‘s contemporary architecture allows customers to implement a system that meets their needs today, and grow and expand to meet their needs tomorrow." Highly Scalable Architecture The architecture of Proficy Process Systems is highly scalable both in system size and functionality allowing users to cost-effectively implement applications of any scope. The system‘s Engineering Workstation provides an integrated development environment that centralizes project-engineering including: • Control strategies, alarm and I/O configuration • Process graphics development • Historian configuration • System change management The Operator Console provides a user-friendly environment for process operations and information access. In addition to state-of-the-art graphical components for process monitoring and control, the Operator Console also includes alarm monitoring and management tools for process and system diagnostics and troubleshooting.[/COLOR]
