Bürkert launches cloud-based process control service

Bürkert believes that integrating industrial process control with cloud-based systems is key to competitiveness in the new economy.

The company’s mySITE solution uses the ‘Device Cloud’, integrating software, platform, infrastructure and devices ‘as a service’. A packaged hardware and software solution, mySITE puts assets at the user’s fingertips with a simple and cost-effective system that is suitable for any existing set of sensors and networks. The mySITE system offers the ability to see what is happening in the process from anywhere in the world - via any internet web browser on any computer, mobile phone, tablet or smartphone. The system allows the setting of alarm conditions which will email, SMS or web-notify operators immediately, so it can be handled without logging into remotely to SCADA or travelling to site.

The scope for this technology is unlimited; however Bürkert has packaged this solution specifically for the process control industry. Within this area, Bürkert Australia has focused on particular applications, including water treatment effluent monitoring, remote monitoring of tanks for chemical and petrochemical industries, and mining and mineral process monitoring.
