Nereux has developed a set of pre-designed process standards, drawings, software code, and supporting documentation specifically designed to address the technical requirements of the customer through process specific customization. This library of PLC modules, and HMI screens / objects allow Nereux (and by extension, our customers) to develop a significant amount of automation deliverables without recreating the wheel every time. These automation standard templates and tools are instrumental in insuring the development of a system is executed in the most efficient manner with the most possible reuse. In addition to reuse, the resultant application is consistent from line to line and system to system to insure the deepest understanding among the factory and plant technical resources in support of the system.

One of the main issues cited by batch manufacturers is the production of a consistent product. Consistent product can only be produced when control of all aspects of the batch process is established and continuously managed.  The ISA Batch Control Standard S88.01 provides a template for a “Best Practice” but some additional structure is needed to address the realities of the dynamics of the plant environment. Through our practical application of standard models and terminologies, batch recipe execution and reporting can be clearly managed. Standard models allow for configurable batch components to be assembled achieving consistent product every time.  Nereux can assist you in applying the S88.01 standards based on your own process. 

Information technology plays a vital role in the success of any enterprise today and that is particularly true in manufacturing. Nereux helps to close the technology gap that exists between the manufacturing floor and the Enterprise Resource Planning systems (ERP). The success of Manufacturing Information System (MES) and a connected ERP often hinges on the quality and reliability of the data provided from the automation layer. Nereux is able to develop solutions that funnel, standardize, and concentrate the process information from manufacturing systems to the MES or ERP layer.

Modern SCADA systems allow real-time data from the plant floor to be accessed from anywhere in the world. This access to real-time information allows governments, businesses, and individuals to make data-driven decisions about how to improve their processes. Without SCADA software, it would be extremely difficult if not impossible to gather sufficient data for consistently well-informed decisions.

The introduction of modern IT standards and practices such as SQL and web-based applications into SCADA software has greatly improved the efficiency, security, productivity, and reliability of SCADA systems.

Nereux partnership with Inductive Automation opens a world of opportunities to develop accesible SCADA solutions to all our clients.
