From Automation to Optimisation: Siemens Collaboration Partner of the Year

Moore Process Controls’ track record of transforming industrial operations through automation, modernisation and optimisation is built on more than four decades of experience in the process industries. Recognition as the Siemens Collaboration Partner of the Year for more than ten consecutive years demonstrates Moore’s ability to deliver complex, end-to-end technology solutions to industry professionals and maintain a high-performing partnership. This, alongside long-standing partnerships with leading technology providers including ABB, Honeywell, Schneider, Rockwell and AVEVA, reflects Moore’s ability to deliver integrated technology solutions across digital industries and smart infrastructures.

For petrochemical, energy and other process-intensive industries, the value of these technologies extends far beyond simply automating a plant. The real opportunity lies in connecting control systems, instrumentation, operational data and advanced digital technologies to create an intelligent operational environment that drives informed decision-making, increased reliability, optimised risk management, and improved production yields.

While digitalisation is an umbrella term, understanding the value that it adds to plant operations, safety, and environmental compliance, is where real transformation begins. It extends beyond simply converting manual processes into digital ones or installing new technologies. It transforms disparate operational data into accurate, contextualised and actionable information that that clarifies what is happening across the plant and why.

This is where robust automation and control infrastructure becomes critical.

Effective control systems continuously monitor and regulate critical processes and equipment, providing the stability and reliability required for safe production. Supported by asset monitoring, predictive maintenance, energy management and optimisation, organisations can move from reacting to problems towards addressing them before they affect production.

Moore’s real-world execution capabilities are proven by high-profile turnkey projects executed under rigorous international safety and engineering standards. Within petrochemical refining, Moore has upgraded compressor controls and implemented anti-surge strategies, improving compressor protection, plant efficiency and operational productivity. The implementation of Siemens PCS7 and TIA Portal automation platforms modernised ageing control infrastructure and enhanced the visibility of processes, reliability of assets and the overall control of the plant. Moore has furthermore improved the performance and reliability of critical rotating equipment by replacing steam turbine speed control and compressor control systems, while DCS migrations of the boiler and compressor modernised the essential energy infrastructure without unnecessary replacements. In offshore oil and gas environments, Moore has delivered Integrated Control and Safety Systems (ICSS) solutions, compliant with IEC 61511 requirements, that supported uninterrupted, safe and reliable operation of high-risk and complex facilities. Together, these solutions demonstrate the safe and reliable integration, modernisation, and optimisation of critical infrastructure while delivering measurable operational value and long-term capital returns.

How do we do this?

• Building robust automation foundations: Our industrial automation expertise focuses on providing a foundation for safe, sustainable production that encompasses detailed system design and architecture, third-party integration, DCS and PLC implementation, control system upgrades, safety systems and lifecycle management.
• Modernising without unnecessary disruption: Many industrial facilities operate with legacy control systems that remain fundamental to production but are increasingly difficult to maintain, support or integrate with modern technologies. Moore specialises in migrating and integrating legacy systems with current platforms while reusing existing engineering and control strategies where appropriate.
• Connecting the plant: By integrating operational systems and creating a connected data environment, organisations gain greater visibility across their operations and can turn real-time operational information into actionable insight.
• Optimising performance: With a robust automation and data foundation in place, advanced solutions can be applied to identify and realise opportunities for improved performance.

The result is not simply a more modern control system, but a more connected, informed and resilient operation. For industries facing ageing infrastructure, increasing energy costs, tighter safety requirements and growing pressure to improve productivity, digital transformation does not necessarily mean starting again. With the right architecture, expertise and lifecycle strategy, existing infrastructure can become the foundation for future performance. Moore’s approach connects reliable automation with operational data and advanced technologies to move organisations from control to intelligence, and from intelligence to optimisation. This is where technology becomes operational value.
