Because…All Integrators Are Not Alike
Technology is an ever-expanding portion of plant operations and the technologies involved are becoming increasingly complex. This means the automation and system integration elements are ever more critical to your project’s success.
A novice, poor quality, or ill-equipped integrator can be disastrous for you. When you specify a CSIA Certified member, you are assured that your system integrator will have the experience, expertise, resources, financial stability, and business acumen to bring in a successful job.
Assure that a CSIA Certified integrator will be working for your project by including the following language in your specification: “In order to ensure overall quality and reliability, the control system integrator shall be listed as a current Certified Member of the Control System Integrators Association (CSIA).”
This mission is reinforced by CSIA’s landmark Certified Member Program,considered the industry standard for system integration project confidence.
Take a Closer Look — at CSIA Certified IntegratorsWhat CSIA Certification Means to You
■ Best Practices & Benchmarks
CSIA Certified members adhere to best practices in all aspects of business. This means they have in place the processes and procedures that foster honest contracts and fair risk allocation, proper billing, project management that focuses on adherence to schedule, and customer service that is measured. In short, your automation project experience will be the best it can possibly be, giving you confidence in your system’s performance and peace of mind overall.
■ Resources Members must demonstrate a volume
of business with engineering content that assures the availability of adequate resources to take on the demands of water and wastewater projects.
■ Experience Firms must have several years of project
experience to qualify as members, assuring that your project isn’t some novice’s training ground.
■ Dedicated Technologists Certified members meet the challenges of
rapidly changing technology with proven technical management processes. This means you get the best, most current, technical expertise available.
■ Successful Business Ownership
Members must show a record of profitable business operation, protecting you from integrators who may not be around to finish or support your project. They also must have in place adequate liability insurance and proper business practices for activities such as HR, accounting, and general management.
■ Learning Oriented Through their own internal, audited,
quality improvement programs and through attendance at the information-packed CSIA Executive Conference, Certified members demonstrate a commitment to advancing their businesses with better processes and new techniques, particularly in the areas of project management and business management.
■ Stability With HR practices geared toward retaining
top talent and business practices dedicated to assuring long-term survival, Certified members provide you with the consistency and stability you need for a successful project. They also have an audited disaster recovery plan that demonstrates an ability to recover data and records, as well as an ability to maintain business operations.
Whatever automation and integration need your project requires, you can find it within the CSIA membership.
Specified CSIA members understand municipal and industrial water and wastewater industries, and have provided a wide range of product and system solutions for water treatment and distribution and wastewater collection and treatment.
■ Systems that monitor and control pumps, aerators, clarifiers, tank levels, filters, chemical feed systems, dewatering systems, and other subsystems ― lift stations and distribution systems too ― through a network of PLCs and operator terminals.
■ Solutions that provide complete automated systems, from dosage control of caustic soda and acid to integrated level, pump, and mixer control.
■ Comprehensive documentation that aids long-term maintenance, simulation testing to assure system performance, and operator training to help ensure the results you anticipated.
■ Targeted answers for a range of needs — from dechlorination systems for municipalities and rinse-water cycle systems for manufacturers to ion exchange and automated water treatment systems.
These water and wastewater specialists listed here offer more than just the technical integration skills; they have a level of understanding of the industry that instills confidence that you’ll get the results you want and need.
