What is it?
We’ve got more than 40 years’ experience in the field of automation and we’ve used that know-how to develop our product control software solution. Alongside many of the well-known features required for a machine control system, we’ve taken a number of features traditionally found at the plant level, including advanced trending, on-board historian and stoppage root cause search, and made them available for you at the equipment level. Unlike a traditional local control panel, our solution integrates seamlessly with OEM assurance, uses modern communication and is built on uniform engineering standards.
How can the ECS Product Control Solution help my business?
Commissioning new equipment involves extensive testing and troubleshooting. Our product control software solution gives your engineers the advanced tools and assistance they need to get the job done fast. And when faults occur, it is critical to establish the root cause as quickly as possible. That’s why our software solution provides tools that enable fast troubleshooting with less effort. These advanced features give operators easy, efficient access to comprehensive information so they can quickly identify the problem. With our solution, you’ll also be able to fully automate your FLSmidth equipment to ensure it operates at its full potential, and eliminating the risk of operator error. This will help increase your productivity while freeing your operators up for other roles. The result is a digital, connected control system software that’s fast, flexible, minimises downtime and helps your business run at its peak.
What FLSmidth equipment is it available with?
Our ECS Product Control Solution is the standard employed for most FLSmidth supplied mining and cement equipment. It is available with our ranges of crushers, grinding mills, coolers, stackers, vertical mills as well as many other products.
