Manufacturing & Industrial
Facility controls for plants where process and building systems meet.
Common controls problems
Controls issues to consider when planning work for your buildings.
Mixed process and building systems
Plants run building HVAC alongside process-adjacent equipment from different vendors. Facilities teams need a clear view of how those systems connect.
Aging controllers
Industrial sites accumulate controller generations. Keeping them running, and integrated, beats replacing what still works.
Uptime pressure
Production downtime can be costly. Controls changes need to be staged and verified around production requirements.
How SOMA Controls helps
Integrate multi-vendor building and process-adjacent equipment over open protocols.
Stage graphics and database changes around the agreed production requirements.
Set up monitoring to help identify developing faults within the agreed service windows.

Documentation and risk
- 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 can interrupt production and create additional costs.
Undocumented multi-vendor integrations are fragile and slow to troubleshoot.
