Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from clients about our services in this area.
How long does a typical SCADA implementation take?
A standard Proctek SCADA implementation takes 4 to 9 months depending on scope, tag count, integration with existing DCS/PLC and FAT/SAT testing. Small projects (<2,000 tags) can be completed in 3-4 months; brownfield installations with legacy system migration typically require 8-12 months.
Which SCADA, DCS and PLC platforms does Proctek implement?
Proctek works as a multi-brand integrator with the main platforms: Rockwell (FactoryTalk, ControlLogix), Siemens (PCS 7, SIMATIC), Emerson (DeltaV, Ovation), Schneider (EcoStruxure), Yokogawa (CENTUM VP), Honeywell (Experion) and open platforms like Ignition. The choice depends on existing architecture and client requirements.
Can you integrate a new SCADA with existing PLCs and DCS?
Yes. Multi-brand integration is a core Proctek practice. We have proven experience migrating control loops between platforms, maintaining operational continuity through staged cutover and FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing) and SAT (Site Acceptance Testing) validation under IEC 62381.
Which standards does Proctek apply in control systems?
Proctek designs under ISA-95 (hierarchical architecture), ISA-18.2 (rational alarm management), IEC 61511 and IEC 61508 (functional safety for SIS) and NAMUR for the process industry. All projects follow a documented lifecycle with ISO 9001:2015.
What is Advanced Process Control (APC) and when is it justified?
APC encompasses strategies beyond standard PID — including Model Predictive Control (MPC), multivariable control and real-time optimization. It is justified when there are multiple operating constraints, quality variability or energy savings potential >5%. It typically pays back in 6-18 months in refineries and petrochemicals.
