Distributed Control Systems (DCS)
Regulatory Compliance
Developed by the International Society of Automation (ISA), the S88 and S95 standards provide structure for designing, implementing, and maintaining batch processes. Within this framework, batch systems adhering to S88 are identified as Level 2 systems. They are subordinate to Level 3 MES systems and achieve process control through interaction automation and control.
Our DCS engineers, all S88 experts, develop standardized control strategies and programming templates that enhance modularity, reusability, flexibility, and scalability. This allows companies to achieve greater efficiency and regulatory compliance, while quickly adapting to evolving production requirements and new technological advancements.
