1 Operations Modernization THE CLEAREST PATH TO A SECURE FUTURE

2 Putting You on the Path to Operations Modernization Value Whether you are currently dealing with obsolescence issues, or want to prevent future problems, Invensys provides: Minimum production interruption Lowest upgrade costs Shortest possible upgrade timeline Elimination of future obsolescence issues and its associated risk A baseline for optimized performance A clear path to Enterprise Control The reliability and performance delivered by proven, leading control and safety offerings Reduced unplanned process shutdowns and reduced maintenance costs Improved production management through increased process information exchange The migration approach offered by Invensys Operations Management showed that an alternative to the existing vendor s upgrade solution was a viable option. Hugh Ferguson, C&I Engineer & DCS Upgrade Project Manager, Keadby Power Station

3 While your process automation and safety assets may be getting the job done today, how do you know whether your plant is producing at its full potential, and that it can in the future? How exposed is your business to unplanned downtime, unnecessary costs, or other issues? Systems running at your plant and considered cutting edge years ago, may not be today. In order to stay competitive in today s market you not only have to maintain your automation and safety assets, but improve their performance and contribution. Consider taking the journey toward improved performance today with the help of Invensys Operations Management. Invensys will provide a clear, manageable and cost-justified modernization path encompassing updates of older systems to leading edge standards as well as the related processes and best practices. This comprehensive approach allows companies in the continuous process industries to minimize the risks inherent in obsolete technologies and maximize asset performance.

4 Why Modernize? Efforts to avoid or postpone modernization will make it harder to compete and, ultimately, to survive. The risks of not modernizing are significant. Aging legacy technologies are expensive to operate and maintain and can adversely affect your ability to support new business priorities, or apply new technologies and solutions to increase performance. Furthermore, the complex design of legacy systems is frequently based on outdated technologies, making them difficult to change and slower to respond to market shifts. Can you afford to wait? Invensys combines advanced technologies and services to help: Lower the Total Cost of Ownership If you currently have technology that is becoming increasingly more challenging to support, whether it is acquiring spare parts or finding qualified technical personnel to assist, now is the time to modernize. Increase your Production Efficiency and Manage Risk Avoid the impact of having inefficient, unreliable systems in place. Minimize unplanned shutdowns and the related production losses. Maximize plant utilization by eliminating unreliable and failure-prone systems. Extend the Life, Performance and Reliability of Systems Avoid a major capital investment and make use of what you already have. Avoid Obsolescence Define a clear and cost justified strategy and plan to address mature and obsolete technology. Meet Regulatory Requirements and Improve Corporate Image Ensure that your systems meet current safety, health and environmental requirements. Cyber Security Define and implement the necessary steps to ensure that your plant systems are safe and secure against threats.

5 Where Do You Start? Modernizing a facility can be a daunting task as process automation and safety systems encompass a range of vendor solutions of varying vintages, where knowledge about the systems, site operations and known issues are dispersed throughout the organization. Questions that must be tackled in this environment include: How do you minimize the impact to the operations? How do you maximize the use of the investment in place? How do you maintain and improve the intellectual property and knowledge? How do you justify changes to management? Invensys understands that companies considering modernization will have these questions and many more. Organizations may already have reviewed some options, or have a specific problem area in mind for modernization. While Invensys has one of the broadest portfolio of product solutions available, we have something else even more valuable experience. Whether you re ready for the next step in your modernization journey, or not sure where to start, Invensys has established a proven approach that applies a unique perspective to address your questions, identify priorities and develop the cost justification.

The resulting solutions are based on open systems, open standards and an open architecture, thus providing a solid foundation for the future. Together we will develop a long-range plan and strategy, which will include a thorough understanding of the impact on your people, skills and sustainability. During the planning process, we will: Develop an automation and technology strategy that links projects to business strategy and long-range business plans Create awareness at all levels of the organization by implementing an effective change management program Demonstrate clear return on investment The Operations Modernization Workshop is at the heart of our approach, where our consultants work with your team to deliver: Concise articulation of your existing critical business processes List of opportunities for potential performance improvements Roadmap for enabling the process through technology Insight into how current technology investments can be maximized A full analysis around the investments required and the value returned You will leverage Invensys lengthy experience, depth of talent and understanding of technology applications to develop an approach that you can be confident will deliver results.
