ECS implementation makes a difference at Beaumont plant

Invensys Operations Management has successfully implemented an InFusion enterprise control system (ECS) for ExxonMobil Lubricants and Specialties. Through a joint Invensys and ExxonMobil team effort, the installation was successfully completed and the plant was back to full production on schedule with no safety incidents.

Installed at ExxonMobil’s lubricants plant in Beaumont, Texas, the ECS will help manage the operating facility, controlling major processes and integrating the existing SAP enterprise resource planning, batch process and final packaging and shipping systems. By making extensive use of Invensys’ open, industry-standards-based ArchestrA architecture framework and other advanced technologies, the ECS will apply the principles of real-time process automation across the manufacturing enterprise to improve production flexibility and workflow, as well as address end-of-life issues within the existing control systems.

"In 2004, ExxonMobil embarked on a global modernization plan to realize the lubricant plant of the future, selecting Invensys as their preferred production and integration partner," said Eric Moorehead, vice president at Invensys Operations Management. "The InFusion ECS installation at Beaumont continues that modernization effort. The  ECS holistically integrates our open technology with legacy applications and third-party solutions to improve the plant’s operations and performance in real time.”
