Case Study: ProLabNL achieves 50% faster setup and reduced engineering effort with Rockwell Automation PlantPAx

PlantPAx Halves Set Up Time and Slashes Engineering Efforts

ProLabNL, an independent oil and gas test facility in Arnhem, needed a faster, more flexible replacement for its legacy process control system. Its old setup struggled with slow test-change deployment, limited database performance, weak reporting and audit trails, and poor visualization for frequent test loop modifications.

Rockwell Automation implemented a PlantPAx distributed control system with the Library of Process Objects, historian software, asset management, and TechConnect support. Rockwell Automation helped ProLabNL cut setup time by more than 50%, significantly reduce engineering effort, improve real-time trending and data presentation, and make the system easier to use and more adaptable for frequent test changes.
