Sometimes having outdated technology not only holds back productivity and efficiency, but it can also make a company less attractive as an investment or purchase. That was the case with this western U.S. solar power plant that was looking to transfer ownership to a new company, but its outmoded legacy control systems made the power plant less attractive to a potential owner, as well as increased the complexity of transferring operations and maintenance functions to them when and if a sale occurred.
In this interesting case study, read how Emerson control technology significantly increased the functionality of the system and made the upgrade fast and highly affordable.
