NovaTech Participates on Panel at 2016 ARC Industry Forum

Feb. 12, 2016
DAK Americas presents case study highlighting NovaTech’s successful upgrade of a 20-year old control system at a PET resin plant in Mexico.

NovaTech, LLC recently participated in the annual ARC Industry Forum in Orlando, Florida. NovaTech customer Emilio Paramo, Manager of Systems and Telecommunications for DAK Americas - Mexico, presented a case on aging control systems and improving business performance through innovative solutions. The DAK presentation addressed one of the most critical issues facing end users, as there is an estimated $65 billion worth of process automation assets nearing end of life according to ARC1.

With the theme of “Industry in Transition: Navigating the New Age of Innovation,” the event brought together over 700 leaders from within the process, oil and gas, power, food and beverage, life sciences, and automotive industries. The Forum was an opportunity to show industrial companies innovations in smarter products, new service and operating models, new production techniques, and new approaches to design and sourcing.

During his presentation, Paramo discussed DAK’s control system challenges, vendor evaluation methodology, NovaTech D/3® solution, and results. Further, Paramo commented, “NovaTech was the only company that could commit to completing the installation in less than a week while meeting all of our technical and operational requirements.” The recent upgrade to the latest version of D/3 hardware and software ensures that the facility can continue to meet the growing global demand for its resins for the next 20 years.
