Prodesa

Prodesa, a wood pellet plant engineering company, faced excessive engineering hours in designing and commissioning control systems for pellet production facilities. Repetitive engineering work on similar projects consumed resources and extended project timelines.

Prodesa standardized on PlantPAx DCS with pre-configured library objects and templates that could be reused across wood pellet plant projects. The standardized platform and reusable engineering assets eliminated redundant design work on successive projects.

Prodesa saved 1,000 hours of engineering time per project by leveraging PlantPAx's library-based design approach. The time savings accelerated project delivery timelines and improved profitability by reducing the labor content in each wood pellet plant implementation.

Engineering firms that standardize on library-based DCS platforms accumulate intellectual property in reusable objects that compounds in value across successive projects. Saving 1,000 hours per project through code reuse represents a significant competitive advantage in engineering services pricing. Wood pellet plant automation benefits from standardized control templates due to the similar process architecture shared across facilities.
