Question 1

What is an industrial automation systems integrator?

Accepted Answer

An industrial automation systems integrator is a company specialized in designing, installing and commissioning complete process control and monitoring solutions. Authomathika has been operating as an integrator since 1999, having deployed over 380,000+ automation points across 180 industrial plants in Brazil, working with platforms such as Rockwell PLCs and DCS, Siemens, Yokogawa and SCADA systems.

Question 2

What is the difference between greenfield and brownfield automation projects?

Accepted Answer

A greenfield project is a completely new implementation, where the automation is designed from scratch for a plant that is yet to be built. A brownfield project involves the modernization, expansion or revamp of existing systems in plants already in operation. Authomathika has experience in both: 49 greenfield plants and 144 brownfield plants in the Automation division.

Question 3

Which SCADA, PLC and DCS systems does Authomathika work with?

Accepted Answer

Authomathika works with all major platforms on the market: PLCs and DCS from Rockwell (Allen-Bradley), Siemens, Yokogawa, Emerson, Altus, ABB, Schneider and GE. For SCADA, we develop custom software and integrate supervisory systems for real-time monitoring of industrial processes.

Question 4

How long does an industrial automation project take?

Accepted Answer

The timeline depends on the project's complexity and scope. A partial automation revamp (brownfield) can take 3 to 6 months, while a complete greenfield implementation can require 8 to 18 months. Authomathika offers a free scope study to estimate timelines and costs for each project.
