Many end-users want solutions from a single source. The "MIV" or "MAC" concepts aim basically at efficient ordering and project management procedures, a reduction of contact persons, and achieving package prices.
Integration on the basis of cross-manufacturer standards supports these concepts, since every contractor and control system supplier can create integrated solutions on the basis of cross-manufacturer standards, and supply them "from a single source".
This is standard practice in many fields of automation technology, since no one manufacturer of automation components has the best solution for all tasks. Because end-users often do not accept technical and economic limitations, or insist on the use of particular systems, most projects end up using components from different manufacturers. Open standards therefore make it easier to create optimum solutions.
Every year, HIMA undertakes projects all over the world together with every manufacturer of control systems. Our experience derives from thousands of applications involving almost every control system. That, together with the consulting expertise of our special Competence Team, enables us to find the best possible solution - including for your task.
