Going into the future, we will continue to capture our fair share in the high-end market and intensify our sales efforts in the low to mid-end market to further enhance our market position, and create value for our shareholders."
About DCS
DCS is dedicated systems used to control manufacturing processes that are continuous or batch-oriented. It's connected to sensors and actuators and use setpoint control the flow of material through the plant. It typically uses custom designed processors as controllers and uses both proprietary interconnections and standard communications protocol for communication. Input and output modules form component parts of the DCS. The input modules receive information from input instruments in the process and the output modules transmit instructions to the output instruments in the field. DCS is usually designed with redundant processors to enhance the reliability of the control system. Most systems come with displays and configuration software that enable the end-user to configure the control system without the need for performing low-level programming, allowing the user to focus on the application rather than the equipment.
