Industrial Controls provide the following Services:
Building Management Systems
A BMS is most common in a large building. Its core function is to manage the environment within the building and may control temperature, carbon dioxide levels and humidity within a building. As a core function in most BMS systems, it controls heating and cooling, manages the systems that distribute this air throughout the building (for example by operating fans or opening/closing dampers), and then locally controls the mixture of heating and cooling to achieve the desired room temperature.
Systems linked to a BMS typically represent 40% of a building's energy usage; if lighting is included, this number approaches 70%. BMS systems are a critical component to managing energy demand.

Integrated Training and Documentation
ICSC is usually asked to provide operator training and detailed documentation on all aspects of the project.
Operator training includes general plant operation and routine testing of alarm and safety circuits.
Documentation includes equipment manuals, configuration files and software backups.
IT - Automation
The modern plant has an extensive range of IT equipment ranging from high end fiber multilayer ring-redundant networks through to dedicated servers and workstations all connecting to critical PLCs with dedicated remote IO modules. It has been our experience that this equipment is best treated as process engineering equipment and supported by Automation savvy IT personnel who understand that the installation of an update or the latest firmware version could potentially break the whole operation of the plant. To this end we provide a dedicated Automation IT service that includes:
  • Daily Data Storage Health Monitoring
  • Daily Network Health Monitoring
  • Daily Server Health Monitoring
  • Annual/Monthly Server Images & Restore for disaster recovery
  • Annual Workstation Images & Restore for disaster recovery
  • Off site backups on transportable media for disaster recovery
