Rockwell Automation to replace DCS at Warwick Chemicals
罗克韦尔自动化为Warwick Chemicals更新DCS系统
December 22, 2011 - Warwick Chemicals awarded a $1.9 million order to Rockwell Automation. The multiphase project will replace Warwick Chemicals’ distributed control system (DCS) solution with the Rockwell Automation PlantPAx process automation system to achieve a lower total cost of ownership, open connectivity with third-party systems, and improved service and support.
密尔沃基--Warwick Chemicals授予了罗克韦尔自动化一份价值190万美元的订单。这一多阶段项目将把Warwick Chemical的分布式控制系统(DCS)解决方案替换成罗克韦尔自动化的PlantPAx流程自动化系统，从而降低总体拥有成本，实现与第三方系统的开放式连接，以及改善服务与支持。
Warwick Chemicals leads the global market in manufacturing bleach activators for the detergent and biocides industries. “Our current DCS was installed in 1994, extended in 1998, and then extended again in 2001. By replacing our 17-year-old DCS infrastructure, Rockwell Automation will help us meet productivity goals and aggressive process improvement plans,” said Colin Ainsworth, electrical, control and instrument engineer at Warwick Chemicals.  According to research performed by the ARC Advisory Group, the global process industry loses approximately $20 billion annually, or about five percent of annual production, due to unscheduled downtime from aging DCS systems.
Warwick Chemicals在清洁剂与生物灭杀剂行业漂白活化剂的生产方面处于全球领先地位。Warwick Chemicals电子、控制与仪器工程师Colin Ainsworth表示：“我们目前的DCS系统安装于1994年，之后又在1998年和2001年相继进行了扩展。通过替换我们已使用17年的DCS基础设施，罗克韦尔自动化将帮助我们实现生产目标，以及开展积极的流程改善计划。”ARC管理集团开展的研究显示，老旧DCS系统的计划外停机时间导致全球流程行业每年损失约200亿美元，约占年产量的5%。
“This win is significant because it demonstrates Warwick Chemicals’ increasing trust in Rockwell Automation as its process control supplier,” said John Genovesi, vice president and general manager of the Information Software and Process Business, Rockwell Automation. “The PlantPAx process automation system provides Warwick with a single, integrated control platform based on standard communication protocols, which minimizes integration and maintenance costs while offering invaluable production insight. This win is an example of our growing position in the process control industry.”
罗克韦尔自动化信息软件与流程业务副总裁兼总经理John Genovesi表示：“获得这份订单对我们来说意义重大，因为它表明Warwick Chemicals对罗克韦尔自动化作为其流程控制供应商的信任日益增强。PlantPAx流程自动化系统为Warwick提供了一个基于标准通信协议的单一集成控制平台，简化集成和减低维护成本，同时还能提供宝贵的生产见解。赢得这份订单是我们在流程控制行业的地位不断提升的一个例证。”
Previously Warwick Chemicals relied on multiple control platforms for its manufacturing process.  “PlantPAx will extend our success with Rockwell Automation to our process operations,” said Ainsworth. “It will also help us migrate to a single, plantwide control platform that will be easier for our engineering staff to operate and maintain.”
在此之前，Warwick Chemicals的制造流程依赖多个控制平台。Ainsworth表示：“PlantPAx将与罗克韦尔自动化一起把我们的成功拓展到我们的流程业务中。它还将帮助我们迁移到一个单一的工厂级控制平台，这将让我们施工人员的操作与维护工作变得更加容易。”
“We’re pleased and honored to deliver this project,” said Terry Gebert, vice president and general manager, Rockwell Automation Global Solutions. “Our track record of successful DCS migrations continues to pave the way for Rockwell Automation and the PlantPAx system to be recognized as the best replacement for traditional DCS systems worldwide.”
罗克韦尔自动化全球解决方案副总裁兼总经理Terry Gebert表示：“我们很高兴也很荣幸能负责这个项目。我们在DCS迁移方面成功的过往纪录将继续助力罗克韦尔自动化和PlantPAx在全球被公认是传统DCS系统的最佳替代方案。”
