MDC embeds DeltaV
15 Jan 2000
Fisher-Rosemount and MDC Technology, a provider of process optimisation software, have formed a business partnership. MDC Technology's Advanced Process Optimisation products and services will be embedded in Fisher-Rosemount's DeltaV automation system to provide enhanced optimisation and ease of implementation, claim the companies. As an exclusive agreement, MDC Technology will only embed its products in the DeltaV system.
MDC Technology's products being integrated with the DeltaV system include multivariable optimising control (SMOC), real-time optimisation (RTO), intelligent performance monitoring (IPM), and multivariable statistical process control (MSPC).
The companies also claim that by tightly integrating these products with DeltaV, DeltaV's enhanced ease-of-use capabilities provide a superior alternative to competing non-integrated process optimisation products.
`With our DeltaV system we are changing the game in advanced process control,' said Jim Hoffmaster, President of Fisher Rosemount Systems.
Alan Dormer, ceo of MDC Technology said: `This venture is a very natural fit and based on current projects and prospects, it is destined to generate significant added value for our customers and for ourselves.'
Fisher-Rosemount has recently won a contract from Warner Lambert to support an automation solution at the drug company's Little Island (Cork) manufacturing facility using DeltaV technology.
