英维思现代化升级计划提升工厂老化资产绩效

Invensys Operations Management, a global provider of technology systems, software solutions and consulting services to the manufacturing and infrastructure operations industries, has unveiled a new program designed to help clients modernize and improve the performance of their aging control systems and other plant assets. The program guides clients in justifying modernization costs, reducing risk, deploying advanced technology and approaching plant upgrades strategically and systematically.

制造业和基础设施运营行业的技术系统、软件解决方案和咨询服务的全球领导供应商――英维思运营管理推出一项新计划，旨在帮助客户提升其老化的控制系统和其它工厂资产的绩效并实现现代化。该计划可指导客户调整现代化改造成本、降低风险、部署先进技术，并战略化、系统化地实现工厂升级改造。

“Today’s manufacturers are facing new, more complicated challenges, even as their equipment and workforce continue to age,” said Dave Gaertner, global consulting director, Invensys Operations Management. “In order to comply with increasingly complex regulatory guidelines, minimize downtime and maintain safe, environmentally friendly operations, many companies are seeking to modernize their plants with a holistic view of their business requirements instead of making like-for-like equipment replacements. Taking advantage of their existing assets, modernization allows companies to link their business and production processes; remove traditional barriers to collaboration; and empower their most valuable resource-- their people.”

英维思运营管理全球咨询总监Dave Gaertner表示：“如今的制造商正面临着更加复杂的新挑战，而其设备和劳动力却持续老化。为遵守日益复杂的监管条例、最大程度地缩短停机时间并保持安全和环保地运营，许多公司在对其工厂进行现代化升级时，都设法从业务需求的整体角度出发而不是采用更换同类设备的方式。在充分利用现有资产的同时，现代化升级能使公司将其业务与生产流程连接在一起;消除传统的协作障碍;并且为最宝贵的资源——他们的人员赋予动力。”

A holistic approach to modernization can provide the clearest, most cost-effective pathway to improving plant efficiencies, increasing production rates and sustaining profitability. Under the Program, Invensys will deliver full-scope consulting; project management; engineering; installation and maintenance services; and products and solutions that minimize the risk of operating obsolete technologies. The company’s hardware and software offerings address all operational areas of the plant, including instrumentation, I/O and HMI, safety and critical control systems, turbo machinery assets, process safety lifecycle components, cyber security systems and other cross-enterprise assets.

整体现代化升级可提供最为明确、性价比最高的方式，以改进工厂效率、提高生产率并维持利润率。英维思的这一计划将提供全方位的咨询、项目管理、工程、安装与维修服务、以及产品和解决方案，从而将运营过时技术的风险降到最低程度。英维思公司的硬件和软件产品涵盖工厂的所有运营领域，包括仪器仪表、I/O与 HMI、安全与关键控制系统、涡轮机械资产、流程安全性生命周期元件、网络安全系统以及其它跨企业资产。
 
“Modernizing existing assets to meet today’s new business challenges has many, many benefits,” Gaertner said. “A full-scope modernization program can help reduce total cost of ownership; increase production rates; meet regulatory guidelines and manage risks; extend the life and performance of their systems; and improve response to changing business demand.”

Gaertner 表示：“将现有资产进行现代化升级以满足当前的新业务挑战让企业受益匪浅。 全方位的现代化计划有助于降低总体拥有成本、提高生产率、满足监管要求和管理风险、扩展系统的寿命和性能、并能提高对不断变化的业务需求的响应能力。”

For companies that know they need to modernize existing assets, but do not know where to begin, Invensys starts with an assessment to understand the company’s business initiatives and issues. The input received is then used to develop a long-range strategic plan that meets the plant’s business and technology needs. As part of the assessment, Invensys also helps clients establish return-on-investment targets.   

对于认识到需要将其现有资产进行现代化升级但却无从下手的公司，英维思可以从评估开始入手以了解该公司的业务计划和问题。然后利用获得的信息来制定一个长远的战略规划，以满足工厂的业务和技术需求。作为评估的一部分，英维思还帮助客户建立投资回报率目标。

“Invensys consultants carefully reviewed our issues and the results we wanted to achieve, then they quantified them based on information such as replacement power costs and other forms of ROI,” said Mike Hull, a computer controls supervisor at Arizona-based Salt River Project, the third-largest public power utility in the United States. “Furthermore, Invensys evaluated which of their products and services could address these issues and achieve our desired results. Invensys Operations Management’s modernization program is a game-changer in the industry.”

美国第三大公共电力设施亚利桑那州盐河项目计算机控制主管Mike Hull表示：“英维思的顾问仔细审核了我们的问题以及我们想要实现的结果，然后他们根据诸如电力置换成本和其它形式的投资回报等信息，对问题和目标进行量化。不仅如此，英维思还评估了哪些产品和服务可以解决这些问题并能实现我们期望的结果。英维思运营管理的现代化升级计划改变了这个行业的游戏规则。”

For companies that have already developed a modernization plan, but need help executing it, Invensys provides highly-qualified resources, including PMP-certified project managers and engineers who have performed hundreds of modernization projects across the globe. 

对于已经制定了现代化升级规划、但是需要帮助执行规划的公司，英维思提供各种优质资源，包括通过PMP认证的项目管理人员和工程师，他们都曾在全球各地执行了数以百计的现代化升级项目。
