MOBILE, Ala., Aug. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hargrove Controls & Automation, a leading industrial automation system integrator and a subsidiary of global EPC firm Hargrove Engineers & Constructors, announces today that Heath Stephens, P.E., Digitalization Leader, will be presenting his recent research on "Achieving True System Integration for a Complete View of Your Plant" at the 2024 Power Users Annual Combined Conference in Phoenix, AZ from August 26-29, 2024. Heath will share his innovative approach to enhancing system integration to provide attendees with a comprehensive view of plant operations.

"With over two decades of experience serving the power industry, Hargrove is thrilled to present at this year's Power Users Conference – showcasing our commitment to innovation and excellence," said Heath Stephens, P.E. "It's an honor to share our expertise and discuss our work with owners and operators of our nation's critical power generation infrastructure."

Nearly all power plants and industrial facilities lack a truly holistic view of their plant's operational status. The primary DCS at most power plants only controls and monitors the main systems at the plant. Meanwhile, other secondary systems, PLC controlled vendor skids, MCCs, and IIoT components may go either unmonitored, or only have limited connectivity. System integrators specialize in interconnecting systems from multiple vendors whether old or new. They bring multi-platform knowledge and communications expertise to help you securely connect systems for a full view of your operations. In Heath's discussion he will discuss his experience connecting platforms, hardware and software communication technologies, and cybersecurity.
