Process Control and Automation
Dependable, Reliable and Proactive
Fully integrated, safe and reliable control strategies and system optimization are the key to maximizing plant performance. By leveraging Cogent’s industry experience in control system design and deployment methodologies, our clients gain a greater competitive advantage.
> PLC / HMI, and DCS Configuration
Cogent’s highly skilled teams program your control equipment to meet the needs of your processes and business. Our staff is experienced with a wide range of control equipment including those from the major PLC, HMI and DCS vendors.
> Control System Design
We apply standards and best practices to assure reliable, maintainable systems. We conform to our client’s corporate standards and country/region regulations to assure that systems comply with all license and other operational requirements.
> Process Control Optimization
Cogent optimizes your operations by properly implementing control schemes to meet production and process goals. When basic control is functioning below design expectations, Cogent’s team can classify the issues and model the processes to improve tuning or implement advanced control strategies to reduce variability.
> Simulation Testing and Training
Our simulation testing accelerates plant start-up and reduces project risks by eliminating performance issues prior to commissioning. Giving new plant operators hands-on experience running a live plant can put businesses at serious risk. Cogent reduces that risk and increases competency of operators through plant simulation. Cogent’s simulation systems allows operators to practice standard operating procedures (SOPs) and experience abnormal situations (including start up, shut down and upset condition response) in a risk-free environment, before attempting to run a live plant.
