Smarter utility management for modern plants
Automatically select, sequence, rotate, and optimize utilities to achieve process objectives with maximum efficiency, reliability, and minimal operator intervention.
Intelligent utility control, executed locally
SENSOR+ Utilities brings intelligent utility control to the edge. From steam pressure and temperature control to aeration and utility management, it executes configurable control strategies locally for fast, reliable, and uninterrupted operation.
Configure once. Run anywhere in the plant — launched by operators or automatically as part of batch execution.

Engineered for plants that cannot stop
Control strategies stay on the controller, watch safety signals, and keep process variables on target without waiting on the network.
Precision loop control (PID)
Maintain temperature, pressure, flow, level, and dissolved oxygen with configurable PID strategies executed directly at the edge.
Multi-utility automation & sequencing
Automatically select, sequence, rotate, and combine utilities based on process demand, equipment availability, and operating strategies.
Batch & recipe integration
Start control strategies automatically as part of a recipe or batch stage for repeatable execution and less operator dependency.
Failsafe & emergency shutdown
Strategies continuously monitor ESD and safety signals, then move utilities, equipment, and actuators to configured safe states.
Autonomous edge execution
Once deployed from the SIP Gateway Server, strategies run locally in the EDIN controller — even when communications drop.
Flexible strategies for every process
Reusable, edge-executable templates that match how plants actually run — direction changes, spare capacity, and staged utilities.
Bidirectional process control
Automatically transition between utilities when control direction changes — heating to cooling — so the process stays stable across stages.
Duty / standby rotation
Rotate primary and standby utilities on runtime, schedules, or operational rules so equipment wears evenly and standby is always ready.
Cumulative staging
When the active utility cannot meet the required response, additional utilities are enabled automatically to hold the control objective.
Cumulative duty & standby
Run multiple utilities together while keeping standby capacity for redundancy.
Thermal ladder orchestration
A reactor may start with hot water to minimize utility cost. As thermal demand increases, SENSOR+ progressively enables higher-capacity utilities to achieve the required heating rate.
Hot water
Lowest-cost heat to start the batch.
Low pressure steam
Step up when water cannot hold the heating rate.
Medium pressure steam
Add capacity as thermal demand climbs.
High pressure steam
Highest-capacity utility to close the remaining gap.
