Collaborative process automation systems

Distributed control systems (DCSs) evolved intO PROCESS AUTOMATION SYSTEMS (PAS) by the inclusion of additional functionality beyond basic control. The evolution of PAS into the CPAS will add even more capability. In the next phase of their evolution, process automation systems will be considered the sentinel of plant performance. They will continue to facilitate process control but will also become the primary source of manufacturing data and information for collaborative manufacturing management (CMM) applications all within a robust environment.
The concept of collaborative process automation systems was developed by ARC Advisory Group[1][2]
A key aspect of collaborative process automation systems (CPAS) includes a single, unified environment for the presentation of information to the operator, as well as the ability to present information in context to the right people at the right time from any point within the system.
CPAS are designed according to the CPAS Guiding Principles as defined by ARC:
- extraordinary performance
- continuous improvement
- proactive execution
- common actionable context
- single version of the truth
- automate everything that should be automated
- facilitate knowledge workers
- common infrastructure based on standards
