Simplify Process Control with BRT Systems (BRTSys) IoTPortal
Rise in Popularity in Automating Process Control with Smarter Technology
The ability to monitor and adjust processes to obtain a desired output, known as process control, is vital to maintaining quality and driving efficiency in industry. Smart technology, driven by advancements in sensor and actuator technology, is gaining popularity among engineers for automating processes. Industry partners are beginning to recognize the benefits of this technology, particularly in leveraging monitoring and automation within various processes.
Challenges in Process Control
The main challenge in implementing smart process control systems across various industries is the integration of smart devices at a system level. This process can be costly and complex, often requiring bespoke software and hardware solutions. Additionally, these systems may present usability issues, potentially undermining their benefits in efficiency and resource usage for organizations.
Sense, Monitor and Control with BRTSys IoTPortal
BRTSys IoTPortal provides a flexible, scalable IoT solution for monitoring and control. It can be easily deployed across applications, enhancing efficiency, and optimizing resources. Its cloud-based design allows global access for system control and monitoring.
Challenges Facing Process Control
- Sensor Network Locality: Process control systems have sensing networks that gather and transmit data. However, this data is usually only locally accessible, requiring on-site monitoring by users
- Separation of Sensing and Control networks: Actuators, which control process attributes based on sensor data, are often separate from sensors, making their integration into a process control system challenging and complicating the development of an effective system.
- Lack of Automation: The system lacks automation due to challenges in integrating sensor and control networks. This necessitates resource allocation for process monitoring and response to sensor readings, which could otherwise be more effectively used within the organisation.
Automating Process Control with BRTSys IoTPortal
