ARC also sees a lot of potential for FF-SIF in existing
facilities. There are a number of older safety systems
installed in plants today that will require upgrading
just as there are a large number of ageing basic process
control systems. Availability of FF-SIF and its
promise of reduced spurious trips, advanced diagnostics,
reduced lifecycle and operational costs, and
compatibility with existing hardware infrastructures,
could provide many end users with the impetus to convert to these systems
more rapidly. The large amount of end user support around the Amsterdam
demo is a strong indicator that FF-SIF has a strong future.
