Rkneal, Inc, formerly Vaxrus was formed in 1993 with a mission to bridge the gap between automation and business services.
With over 75 years of combined experience in Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and Information Technology, we have a unique advantage to integrating the two systems together.
Typically, any plant or facility using a DCS or PLC based systems for automation is managed by plant engineers. These plant engineers understand how the process works, how to program their control system, and the basics of the Information System infrastructure.
Naturally, after management invests such a large sum of dollars in technology to upgrade a plant’s control system, they wish to receive information from the control system to integrate into their business systems. This usually entails the Information Technology department trying to determine how to access the system and retrieve information from it. Information storage and retrieval systems such as PI ™, iHistorian™, or even proprietary databases and files are used by the business side to retrieve such information. But, this technology requires a good understanding of both the control system and business system to properly setup.
Bridging the two systems is a daunting task and can end up being a significant project. Because Rkneal, Inc. has the experience in both Control System and Information Technology, we understand the needs of both groups and can bridge this Information Gap more cost effectively other methods.
If upgrading your plants control system is your objective, we can take a complete manual system in your industry and automate it with the most cost effective control system, whether that be a DCS or PLC based system.
If security, networking, or providing reporting mechanisms to retrieve the valuable information from your systems is your need, we can provide you with the expertise to accomplish this at a very cost effective price.
If an analysis of your plant is desired to determine if automation can provide an acceptable financial payback period, or if you need a detailed business plan for future enhancements for your industry, we have the business expertise to details such plans.
Please contact one of our sales offices to discuss your automation and business needs.
