Industrial Informatics, Inc. is a multi-vendor systems integrator focusing on automatic control system design and implementation for continuous process plants and on assembly cell automation in the automotive industry. The company works with both new system installations and modernization retrofits. They have broad experience in the design and installation of industrial process control systems, manufacturing execution systems (MES), SCADA systems, and implementation of database driven manufacturing systems. Industrial Informatics, Inc.’s design and implementation methods are based on the Capability Maturity Model standards first developed by the US government. This is a process of elicitation, resulting in a design specification and acceptance criteria specification followed by implementation and testing. In their process system installations, Industrial Informatics assesses the existing physical plant, plans the changes required to integrate the new equipment into the existing systems, and prepares an implementation plan for the design review consisting of P&ID, process loop control, electrical, and mechanical drawings. Systems usually consist of multi-vendor equipment specified and integrated for flow, temperature, pressure, and level control of all stages of the target process. The company's skills include process, mechanical, and electrical design; data and communications network planning; SCADA and MES system design and implementation using COTS systems.
