Process

Generally

Production and order planning is comprehensive and dependent on customer requirements as well as quality demands.
These demands are particularly managed in cooperation with those responsible for sales and customer follow-up.
A company with several processes dependent on each other must coordinate continuous information and supervision for high efficiency.
With continuous information and supervision the processes will be coordinated for high efficiency.
Fundamental to high productivity and controlled quality is the requirement that supervision and process control will be close to the process.
The automatic functions such as startup, measurement, -and regulating functions, in addition to general supervising and process control most be executed principally from central  a controlroom even if there are peripheral stations.
Measurment-and regulation functions must be decided and structured with the greatest care.
The automatic functions for starting-up the machines are controlled by built-in electrical functions.
Program functions for the control systems could be complex to build up and demand high functionals security: if not the persons, process or machines will be damaged.
The information required for supervision is received from sensors and adjustable mechanisms in the process and machinery.Such information can also be included in the automatic functions and in the regulating process.
A company with several process units has need of assistance for supervision and control of the units within the following levels:

        Comprehensive plant level:

        Comprehensive production-and order planning

       Comprehensive production level:

        Coordination of information for efficacy in processes
        Superior control / regulation of the process control level
        Superior control / regulation of the process units need of heat and electrical energy
 

All the levels need information from the databases of the partial systems
