  • The Challenge

The outdated Control System Infrastructure lacked modern performance enhancements and advanced features.

Obsolete Process Control Network appliances and architecture lacked scalability and posed risks to both operations and security.

Unsupported Windows operating systems increased exposure to cyber threats and compliance issues.

live system upgrade required a structured approach to ensure zero impact on ongoing operations.

  • Our Solution

On-Process Control System Migration (OPM) to the latest Honeywell Experion® PKS software, incorporating critical system components such as enterprise models, trends, control modules, SCADA points, and operator graphics.

PCN Network Redesign to implement Fault-Tolerant Ethernet (FTE) with the latest Cisco network appliances, ensuring enhanced reliability and redundancy.

System Architecture Upgrade, transitioning PCN servers and operator stations from a Microsoft Workgroup to a Domain, improving security and access management.


Comprehensive Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) of integrated software and hardware to mitigate risks before deployment.

On-Process Field Installation & Commissioning, ensuring a seamless transition to the upgraded system while maintaining operational continuity.

  • The Results

With a comprehensive implementation plan and rigorous testing, the solution was commissioned without operational disruption. This seamless transition enabled the client to operate the upgraded system with enhanced reliability, security, and performance, ensuring long-term operational efficiency.

  • The Champion Advantage
Seamless Integration

Delivery of a turnkey solution integrating Honeywell Experion® PKS, FTE networks, Windows domain migrations, and third-party systems eliminated the need for multiple vendors and delivered a cohesive, cost-effective solution.

Client-Centered Execution and Support

Clear communication, hands-on operator training, and a well-documented transition plan empowered facility operations for long-term success.

Scalable and Future-Ready

Solutions designed with a technical and operational cutover plan ensured a disruption-free migration. The FTE network and Windows domain built a flexible foundation for future growth and cybersecurity enhancements.

Smarter Commissioning, Faster Execution

Continuous engagement with our project team from design through commissioning minimized risks, streamlined troubleshooting, and ensured a seamless installation.
