Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) integrates an advanced automation platform and innovative software applications to improve users' business performance and peace of mind. Unifying people with process, business and asset management, this distributed control system (DCS) helps process manufacturers increase profitability and productivity. It’s the only automation system that focuses on people — making the most of the knowledge they hold. By integrating disparate data across facilities, making the most of resources and people, and feeding it all into a unified automation system, users can achieve an operation that’s more proactive, efficient and responsive.
