Høglund IAS Hardware platform

Høglund offers a modular range of control hardware for both alarm systems, process automation and safety systems.

The system supports both single and redundant controllers in a modular fashion. The addition of controllers or I/O can be done without affecting (or putting at risk) the vessel under control. All units are ‘Hot-Swappable’ and ‘Hot-Configurable’ leading to a reliable and available system with very low MTTR figures.

Høglund IAS Software platform

Høglund automation platform is based on the state-of-art technology developed by Høglund engineers, known for its user-friendly functionality. The platform is modular and scalable, making it suitable for systems ranging from a few hundred signals to those comprising several thousand. Høglund self-developed engineering tools make it possible to take on any challenge and customized automation solutions within a short delivery time.

Høglund advanced playback functionality is included in all our deliveries.

Flexible Design

After completed advanced user training, customers may design and generate the system without any engagement from Høglund at all. Høglund will provide the customer with all necessary tools to build a total project. If the project requires special solutions not included in the library, Høglund will create these and send library updates directly to the customer.
