Integrated Control Systems (ICS)

We utilize a range of systems to control outputs that are essential to the safe and reliable operation of our client’s assets.

Advantech Digital ’s solutions range in complexity from distributed control of multi-platform offshore energy production facilities to standalone unit and process control systems. Our vendor-neutral approach ensures that you always get the best system for your application, without any bias. Through our expertise in system integration, we can ensure that your systems communicate and work coherently regardless of how many different vendors they come from.

Our control systems keep plants online, safe, and efficient. We develop and  implement solutions for multiple industries and applications with seamless integration of safety systems to ensure stable plant operations:

  • End-to-end turnkey systems covering engineering, design, procurement support, manufacturing support, and installation support.
  • We conduct extensive factory and site testing for our systems and our engineers follow strict procedures to ensure seamless commissioning.

Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS)

Our safety systems minimize risk by providing accurate and reliable information required to take preventative action, giving sufficient time to shut off systems or evacuate areas prior to an emergency.

Serious industrial incidents can lead to equipment damage, injures, and even fatalities. Safety Systems (SIS) are high-performance systems that provide emergency shutdown (ESD) and breaks in the face of abnormal process parameters. Advantech Digital’s experienced engineers deliver ESD and SIS solutions that provide high reliability and seamlessly integrate with your facility’s Process Control System to form an Integrated Control & Safety System

We are compliant to Safety Integrity Levels (SIL) 1, 2, and 3, and develop Safety Systems ranging from multi-layer ESD systems for critical Oil and Gas applications to simple device-level safety controllers. This includes;

  • Emergency shutdown systems (ESD); Major Vendors (Honeywell EmersonYokogawa etc.)
  • Fire & Gas (F&G) Detection & Control Systems
  • Very Early Warning Aspirating Smoke Detection System (VESDA)
  • High Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS)
  • 61508 Design Compliance
  • Our vendor-neutral approach ensures that we stay current with technology trends and competent to provide you with the best solution that strikes the perfect fit with your needs.
  • We follow strict testing procedures to ensure seamless commissioning with minimum interruption to operations.

Benefits of Our Services

Enhanced Safety:

Integrated Control and Safety Systems (ICSS) significantly improve operational safety by providing real-time monitoring and control capabilities. By integrating various safety systems into a single platform, potential hazards are identified and mitigated quickly. The system continuously assesses risks and activates alarms or safety protocols when necessary, ensuring that operators can respond to emergencies swiftly. Furthermore, the centralized approach allows for more consistent safety practices across all operations. This enhancement not only protects personnel and assets but also complies with industry regulations and standards, fostering a culture of safety within the organization.

Operational Efficiency:

ICSS solutions streamline processes by integrating control, safety, and information systems, leading to increased operational efficiency. This integration allows for real-time data access and analysis, enabling operators to make informed decisions quickly. By automating routine tasks, ICSS reduces manual interventions and the potential for human error. The ability to monitor multiple processes from a centralized platform means that response times to abnormalities are significantly improved, minimizing downtime. Moreover, efficient data management enhances communication across departments, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and contributing to overall productivity improvements.

Cost Reduction:

Implementing an Integrated Control and Safety System can lead to substantial cost savings over time. By optimizing processes and reducing manual interventions, organizations can lower operational expenses. ICSS minimizes the likelihood of accidents and equipment failures, which can be costly in terms of repairs, downtime, and potential legal liabilities. Moreover, the efficiency gained from real-time monitoring reduces energy consumption and resource wastage. Organizations can also benefit from better asset management and maintenance scheduling, further driving down costs. Overall, the long-term financial benefits of ICSS far outweigh the initial investment.

Regulatory Compliance:

Compliance with industry regulations and standards is critical for operational sustainability, and ICSS facilitates this by ensuring adherence to safety protocols. By integrating safety management systems with operational control, organizations can automate compliance reporting, making it easier to meet regulatory requirements. The system provides comprehensive documentation of safety measures, risk assessments, and incident reports, which can be invaluable during audits. Furthermore, an ICSS continuously monitors operational parameters to ensure that processes remain within regulatory limits. This proactive approach not only mitigates legal risks but also enhances the organization’s reputation as a responsible operator in the industry.

Scalability and Flexibility:

ICSS solutions are designed to be scalable and flexible, making them suitable for a wide range of applications and industries. As business needs evolve, the system can easily adapt to new processes, technologies, or regulatory requirements. This adaptability ensures that organizations can continue to operate efficiently without significant system overhauls. Additionally, ICSS can be integrated with existing infrastructure, allowing for phased implementations and minimizing disruptions. The ability to scale means that organizations can expand operations or incorporate new technologies as they grow, ensuring long-term viability and competitiveness in a dynamic market.

Improved Decision-Making:

Integrated Control and Safety Systems (ICSS) significantly enhance decision-making capabilities within organizations. By providing operators and management with real-time data analytics and comprehensive insights, ICSS enables informed decisions based on accurate information. The centralized platform aggregates data from various sources, allowing for a holistic view of operations. This visibility into process performance and safety metrics helps identify trends and anomalies, enabling proactive measures rather than reactive responses. Furthermore, advanced reporting tools facilitate scenario analysis, allowing teams to evaluate the potential impact of different decisions before implementation. Ultimately, this leads to more strategic planning, optimized resource allocation, and improved overall performance.
