Multiple Analyzer Remote IO Panels
Programmed, fabricated, and installed EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS remote IO panels for analyzer interfacing on multiple projects. SAS was able to adapt and customize factory-available, OEM panels to client requirements, rather than fabricating from scratch, reducing the time and cost to the client. SAS interfaced with client and third-party contractors for successful implementation and provided on-site commissioning support.
