The truly revolutionary results being obtained from the proven PlantWeb field-based architecture are explained on an expanded and enhanced Web site from Fisher-Rosemount www.PlantWebHome.com, including case histories and testimonials from process automation plant customers – real engineers and businessmen spread across the UK and overseas.

"It's hard to believe how far PlantWeb can take you – until you hear from someone who's been there", explains John Berra, process group business leader for Fisher-Rosemount's parent, Emerson Electric Co. "That's why we're grateful to these customers for sharing their experience with others in their industries". Case histories include projects in chemicals, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, pulp and paper, utilities, and metals and mining.

"You can call these engineers leaders, or innovators, or just smart businesspeople", adds PlantWeb marketing vice-president Jane Lansing. "They recognized that PlantWeb offers the best way to achieve dramatic performance improvements."

The expanded Web site builds on the award-winning interactive savings calculator, which allows customizing a virtual automation project, to identify cost savings versus conventional approaches. Case histories are then presented from each major process industry, giving descriptions of PlantWeb components, functions and benefits. PlantWeb combines intelligent field devices, open standards and automation systems, and modular software from all sections of the Fisher-Rosemount group. It provides not only better process control, but also new capabilities for asset management and systems integration with other plant and business applications – significantly enhancing process and business performance. The whole is summed up in a quotation from a chemical industry executive:

What makes us competitive is our technology. PlantWeb has moved us up the technology ladder, with better control that helps assure superior performance and quality.
