Enterprise to Field Systems

Modernize your infrastructure with automated monitoring, control & security through DigitaLogic’s Enterprise to Field System (EFS).

Enterprise to Field System (EFS) is a strategic solution for infrastructure and grid modernization.

EFS is a technology platform that enables utilities, commercial, industrial, government, military, health, or educational facilities to modernize their infrastructure by bringing the monitoring, controlling, and automation functions of their existing systems together on one platform.

 

As a strategic solution, EFS provides…

  • Less Demand on Resources: one consolidated system enables the same personnel to support all field and enterprise applications.
  • Protection Against Obsolescence: moves forward with technology, is fully backward compatible, flexible, scalable and technically manageable
  • Security: brings existing infrastructure into compliance with the latest security requirements (e.g., NERC-CIP, FISMA) and has the flexibility to accommodate future security changes.
  • Improved Reliability: allows a single point of control for FLISR, DERM, CVR, and VVO systems already in place, reducing downtime for utility customers and decreasing response time by bringing all systems under one consolidated control point.
  • Advanced Solutions: solves challenges that may be unique to your infrastructure environment by easily introducing user-defined, intelligent applications to the system (both in the field and/or centrally)

With DigitaLogic’s EFS, you gain a partner and long-term strategic solution to monitoring any wide array of physical and mechanical systems, automating and controlling processes across tens of thousands of geographically dispersed devices, and predicting problems before they occur.

DigitaLogic provides clients with the technology tools (EFS), experience, and support needed to modernize their infrastructure, making the system more reliable, cost-effective, and secure.

WHY CHOOSE EFS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE MODERNIZATION?

  • Minimize Resource Use – EFS streamlines project completion, requiring fewer human and technical resources for successful implementation
  • Future-Proof Investment – EFS adapts to changing technology, future–proofing the system infrastructure against continuous changes in hardware, software, applications, and standards.
  • Enhanced Security – EFS safeguards your infrastructure by implementing cyber security on a single platform over different communication system links and field devices.
  • Simplified Management – EFS provides a manageable technological platform for real-time data, even with thousands or tens of thousands of remote devices over a large geographical area.
  • Maintain Compliance – EFS simplifies compliance with North American Electric Reliability Corporation Bulk Electrical System (NERC BES) requirements and other relevant standards.
  • Consolidated Systems – EFS consolidates disparate monitoring platforms, systems, and field devices, eliminating the need for multiple monitoring and control platforms.
  • Advanced Functionality – EFS securely enables interoperability, advanced application deployment, data-sharing, and Enterprise System consolidation across multiple users, organizations, and companies.
