Enhance efficiency and cybersecurity in industrial operations with Simplex’s process automation solutions, specifically designed for legacy manufacturing systems.

Introduction

In today’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape, process automation is not just a trend but a necessity for maintaining competitive edge. Many organizations still rely on legacy systems that, while reliable, pose significant challenges in efficiency, security, and scalability. Simplex’s legacy process automation solutions are tailored to address these issues, enabling seamless integration without the need for complete system overhauls.

The Challenges of Legacy Systems

Legacy systems, though foundational, often hinder modern industrial operations due to:

Frequent Breakdowns: Aging equipment leads to increased downtime and costly repairs.
Limited Connectivity: Lack of real-time monitoring restricts process optimization and proactive maintenance.
Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities: Outdated systems are more susceptible to cyber threats.
Data Silos: Disparate systems prevent unified data visibility, slowing decision-making processes.

These obstacles not only reduce productivity but also elevate operational risks, making it imperative for industries to seek effective automation solutions.

Competitor Overview: GPA’s Automation Solutions

GPA offers a comprehensive suite of automation services, including:

Process & Discrete Automation: Replaces manual tasks with smart machines and control systems.
OT Infrastructure & ICS Cybersecurity: Secures industrial control systems from cyber threats.
Manufacturing Intelligence & MES: Transforms data into actionable insights for better decision-making.

While GPA provides robust solutions, their focus on extensive system overhauls can be resource-intensive and time-consuming for organizations looking to integrate automation with existing legacy systems.
