A Distributed Control System (DCS) is a plant-wide control architecture in which control functions are distributed across multiple controllers while operators can monitor and manage the process through centralized operator interfaces.

DCS solutions are commonly used in complex and continuous process environments where coordinated control, real-time monitoring and reliable plant operation are important.

VALSTEM supports DCS engineering and integration based on process requirements, control philosophy, instrumentation, communication architecture and the operational needs of the facility.
