What tasks need to be carried out for automation in a brand-new project
Thread Content
May I ask, regarding a newly built chemical project where the owner has limited capacity for self-control? How should self-control be applied in the selection of construction models during the early stages of a project? For example, self-control involves entrusting all the instruments and systems to a design institute for EPC work, thereby compensating for the owner’s lack of technical capabilities. Alternatively, the owner takes the lead in coordinating with design firms, suppliers, etc., which increases the workload for the owner itself and raises project risks. If you have any good suggestions, please be as detailed as possible. Thank you!
The design tasks should be entrusted to a design institute, while the owner’s role is to communicate with the process engineering team in order to understand the level of automation involved and the amount of investment required for automation, so as to ensure that such investments fall within the owner’s budget. Secondly, it is necessary to fully understand the status of the manufacturing process and communicate with the design institute to ensure that the design meets one’s expectations ； Third, communicate with suppliers to select equipment that meets one’s own needs; finally, communicate with the construction team to ensure the smooth completion of the project. In short, it is essential to keep the entire project in mind from start to finish; once the installation is put into operation, your level of automatic control will improve significantly.

Could there be a detailed implementation plan? Thank you
I’m afraid no design firm can be that cooperative； Secondly, the project itself cannot wait for a long time for an automatic control solution to be developed; even the design institute cannot afford to wait that long
From design selection, bidding, construction and installation, training and configuration, commissioning, to the analysis and handling of faults, it is necessary to be actively involved in every step. Through continuous learning and practice, your skills will improve rapidly.
