Invensys Systems, Inc. continues to keep the promise made to customers in 1987 that the I/A Series system would remain Continuously Current indefinitely by adding new capability to systems, while preserving infrastructure and intellectual property investments.
This Continuously Current philosophy enables older I/A Series products to work in conjunction with new products, extending the lifecycle of the entire I/A Series system. This proven long-term strategy significantly reduces our customers Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by eliminating the need to completely replace the system. Instead, this approach provides easy and cost effective ways to improve control, reduce downtime and increase maintainability during upgrades, expansions or revamps, while preserving software, hardware and engineering intellectual property investments.
The Invensys Process Systems Advantage program lets you incorporate the newest capabilities available along side your existing hardware and software at very attractive prices. Invensys Process Systems works with each customer to identify and evaluate the optimal time to upgrade based on the individual mix of products installed, customers shutdown schedules, plant upgrade philosophies and new features and enhancements available from Invensys Process Systems. Once the upgrade plan is defined, features and equipment are brought on line smoothly, easily and quickly, ensuring that the customer’s process is up and running cost-effectively in minimal time and with maximum benefit.
By offering cutting edge automation technology, Invensys Process Systems offers you both the means to keep your plant operation at peak performance for decades to come, plus the ability to keep your automation system current at less cost than competitive systems.
Larry O’Brien of ARC Advisory Group sums up their view of Foxboro’s I/A Series products and support: “Based on our review of the market, Invensys offers one of the broadest portfolios of products and services in the process automation industry. Their commitment to customers is exemplified in the recent enhancements to the Foxboro I/A Series – where they manage to provide an evolutionary migration path to the latest technologies without requiring customers to abandon their investment in earlier I/A systems.”
