We call it InFusion.
 More Asset Performance.

More. You always need more. More time. More money.
More asset performance. And there are really only two
ways to squeeze more business value from the plant.
Improve asset availability or improve asset utilization.
Period. The trick is to do both—by striking a delicate
balance between availability and utilization simultaneously.
Balance both in real time and you begin to achieve a
high degree of optimization and economic improvement.
This methodology for process plants to safely maximize
the business value from every plant asset is called Asset
Performance Management.
Asset Performance Management essentially allows
manufacturers to move from closed-loop process control
to closed-loop business control. Until now, this balancing
act has been impossible to
achieve in a cost-effective
manner, due to the disparate
multiple systems. A system that assures full open
communication and visibility between the plant and the
enterprise with seamless information integration within
and across multiple plant sites. A system that encourages
a collaborative environment for improved business and
plant operational agility.
Different from traditional automation systems made up
of DCSs, Safety Systems, PLCs and SCADA, an ECS
platform encompasses much more, easily and affordably
integrating the entire plant floor with top-level business
systems like CRM, ERP and HR. And, unlike other
solutions with clumsy, expensive bridges to business
systems, an ECS does so in a simple, elegant way—with
a high degree of interoperability—faster, easier, cheaper.
Only one company offers the breadth and depth of
technology, know-how and world-class solutions to turn

 How does this really help ?
“With the InFusion ECS, I get the plant floor information I need,
right on my desk, in a context I understand so I see exactly
which assets are performing, which ones aren’t and what
I need to do about it.”
More process control. More business control.
More Intelligence. More Reliability.
InFusion ECS for Management
Problem
Want more assurance that system is yielding promised ROI
Have to do more with less to be more competitive
Dynamic market requires fast response
Need system that will last 20-30 years and can cost-
effectively take advantage of new technology
Solution
The InFusion ECS does more than promise ROI, it
actually delivers it by driving maximum results from
your plant-wide assets and integrating your systems
into one, unified business environment.
The InFusion ECS lets you control your business
as well as your process by providing standardized
and predictable plant behavior and enhanced safety.
With unprecedented plant-wide visibility, the InFusion
ECS lets you see what’s happening on the plant floor
so you can take appropriate action in real time.
Because the InFusion ECS unifies automation and
information systems, you get operational intelligence
in a consistent, meaningful context, making information
easier to mine from data. You react faster to market
dynamics. You’ll not only see what you need to know,
but what you need to do about it. Supremely interoperable
and open, the InFusion ECS allows you to do more
with less. Upgrade your existing automation system
without having to rip out and replace existing assets.
Start as big or as small as you like—the InFusion ECS
evolves and grows with you, enabling you to add and
exploit new technologies as they emerge. This flexibility
lets you remain agile as well, so you can respond quickly
to a dynamic market while remaining highly competitive.
Maximize results from assets
Improve plant safety
Do more with less
Respond faster to market
InFusion ECS for Operations
Problem
Priorities between Maintenance and Operations aren’t
always aligned
Lack of trust in the information presented
Increasing liability concerns
Need better training for operators to be more effective
Solution
The InFusion ECS makes it easier, faster and more
cost-effective to make sure the plant operates smoothly,
seamlessly, without incident and at peak capacity. It
enables you to communicate more clearly and effectively
with operators—and by revealing information relevant
to both Operations and Maintenance, the InFusion
ECS makes visible the relationships between asset
performance and profitability. You’ll not only see
operational improvements, you’ll easily share them
with management, using simple-to-execute reports
enabled by the InFusion ECS.
Invensys recognizes that Operations must have complete
faith in the integrity of the information presented. And,
that it must be presented in a timely fashion. The
InFusion ECS does both by utilizing data validation
techniques as well as transacting information in real
time, eliminating the need for manually entered
information done periodically. Because the InFusion
ECS aggregates information from all plant systems, it
easily presents useful information such as enterprise-
wide safety integrity, delivering enhanced visibility
and one less thing to worry about.
As a unifying platform, the InFusion ECS has the
capacity to provide operators with a consistent,
single view of the entire enterprise. This approach
enables operators to predict abnormalities and
effectively respond to emergency situations with
confidence. And proven Invensys simulation ensures
that operational staff are continuously recertified in
reacting to abnormal plant conditions.
Reduce risks and costs
Improve operator response and efficiency
Communicate effectively with maintenance
More Ease of Use. Less Cost.

InFusion ECS for Engineering InFusion ECS for Maintenance

Problem
Too little time and resources to learn a lot
of different tools
Need one engineering environment
Want a system without limits
Difficult to communicate and share information
with plant-wide systems
Need a reliable and secure system that
maintenance can easily handle
Solution
The InFusion ECS provides a unified configuration
and engineering environment. It is designed with
simplified and common software toolsets, common
human interfacing and standardized template-
based objects. Objects can be easily deployed and
reused across multi-site operations. Based upon a
standardized function set, configuration of the ECS
now becomes a matter of assembling application
objects in a fashion similar to constructing a
process flow diagram. By shifting the emphasis
away from programming and toward assembling
strategies, engineers can now spend more time
devising better, safer control strategies.
The InFusion ECS not only reduces mundane
programming tasks, but makes it easier and far
less risky to make application changes—ensuring
global consistency and best practices. The cost of
project implementation is greatly reduced, making
engineers’ lives easier and more productive.
The Infusion ECS extends the tradition of the
Invensys Continuously Current philosophy,
allowing the incorporation of new technologies as
they evolve. The extensible nature of application
objects also means that functionality can continue
to evolve over time without being stuck with the
fixed bill of materials typically associated with
legacy systems.
Problem
Need short delivery time
Reduce costs, labor, parts, equipment
Hate unplanned calls
So much equipment—need first pass diagnostics to
know who to deploy
Need all systems talking
Want to evolve system, not replace
Solution
Improving the availability of plant assets has a direct
impact on the bottom line. The InFusion ECS allows
you to maximize asset availability, while also reducing
costs, labor, parts and equipment, providing a
reliable, secure system your maintenance people
can easily use. The InFusion ECS is equipped to
handle your equipment load.
With better access to information, you’ll know when
something goes wrong and how best to direct your
energies to fix the problem. Consistent information
means you’ll spend more time where it’s really
needed, and less time on unplanned calls.
Consolidated information is easy to mine for
KPIs and easy to share with managers. Superior
interoperability means all your systems can now “With the InFusion ECS, I spend less time on the
communicate with each other and you can
mundane programming tasks that keep the plant
communicate better with Operations.
Better still, the InFusion ECS provides a system running and more time improving system
that evolves over time, so you won’t have to
replace it every ten years. and plant performance.”
