Manufacturing & Industrial
Facility controls for plants where process and building systems meet.
Common controls problems
The control fundamentals are the same everywhere. These are the problems that show up in manufacturing & industrial.
Mixed process and building systems
Plant floors run building HVAC alongside process equipment from many vendors. Getting them onto one readable picture is most of the work.
Aging controllers
Industrial sites accumulate controller generations. Keeping them running, and integrated, beats replacing what still works.
Uptime pressure
Downtime on the floor is expensive. Controls changes get staged and verified so production is never the test.
How Clark & Soma helps
Integrate multi-vendor building and process-adjacent equipment over open protocols.
Modernize graphics and databases without disrupting production.
Stand up monitoring so developing faults surface before they stop the line.
Recommended services
Where engagements in manufacturing & industrial usually start. Each links to the full service.
Integration & Protocol Support
Multi-vendor building and process-adjacent equipment brought onto one maintainable layer.
BAS Modernization
Readable graphics and a clean database for facilities teams covering a complex plant.
Remote Monitoring & Controls PM
Watch facility systems between visits so faults surface before they stop the line.
Documentation needs
Integration maps across building and process-adjacent systems.
Current points lists and network topology for a mixed-vendor plant.
Risk considerations
A facility-system fault that reaches production is far more costly than the controls work to prevent it.
Undocumented multi-vendor integrations are fragile and slow to troubleshoot.
