Unique Challenges

Chemical manufacturers face unique challenges – increasing regulatory controls, dealing with the cost and variability of raw materials, and finished goods that are produced along with unwanted by and co-products as well as countless other challenges. The key to profitability is to improve production processes while driving out waste.

Real-time awareness and management of the production process leads to enhanced productivity. The display of KPIs (key performance indicators) and informational data in real-time is critical. The sections below provide just a few of the many chemical manufacturing applications that we developed and the customers we've helped.

Popular Applications

Panel message display
APPLICATION

Reliable process feedback is critical to operator safety and process efficiency. Operators rely on real-time feedback from field devices such as PLCs, sensors, level indicators and other equipment that provide process information in order to make informed decisions. Rugged vacuum fluorescent displays provide crisp data and reliable process feedback.

Tank level display
APPLICATION

Large digital displays are great for monitoring tank farms. Intelligent tank level sensors can safely send a serial or analog signal to a remote display. Great for field engineers that have to check multiple sites. Rather than fighting the elements to view an analog gauge a large digital display can be positioned in a control house window for “drive by” monitoring.

Flow rate metering display
APPLICATION

Intelligent flow meters often provide a pulsed signal or formatted serial output. Large digital display applications include recipe metering, flow control and flow problem indication. Scalable inputs (87/415) and a universal parser (87/232) ensures accurate flow data and real-time flow rate display scaled to your engineering unit. Large displays keep all involved informed of critical real-time process data.
