Proserv and Intelligent Plant Extend Alliance With New Deal

Controls technology company Proserv has put pen to paper on a new agreement with Intelligent Plant, a software engineering company and data analytics experts, extending their alliance formed in 2020.

That tie-up first brought the two parties together to innovate impactful digital technology service offerings and models, based around open data access, real-time condition monitoring and the provision of subject matter expertise, Proserv said in its statement.

This new deal reinforces Proserv’s position as a worldwide distributor and supplier for Intelligent Plant’s various products and applications, the statement reads. It also enables the two parties to collaborate even more closely to develop further disruptive software as a service (SaaS) solutions, leveraging Proserv’s wide domain knowledge, its control system integration capabilities and its OEM agnostic technology philosophy, alongside Intelligent Plant’s accessible, flexible data capture and award-winning analytics expertise, Proserv noted.

According to Proserv, the decision to forge this updated agreement follows a positive response from the energy market to their present SaaS offerings and combined skill sets, whereby the two parties can deliver live intelligence on the operational performance and condition of critical infrastructure, supporting future maintenance scheduling, process optimization and ultimately life extension.

Furthermore, Proserv’s CEO Davis Larssen has been promoted to Intelligent Plant’s board as a non-executive director, strengthening the alliance between the companies.

It is anticipated Larssen’s input and industry positioning will help accelerate Intelligent Plant’s global footprint, while allowing both businesses to build their presence in the digital technology arena via continued mutual support and cooperation, Proserv said.

Last September, Larssen similarly joined the Board of another Scottish enterprise Synaptec, a Strathclyde University spin-out and power system monitoring expert, following Proserv’s acquisition of a minority stake in the company, the company reminded.

Proserv added that both Synaptec and Intelligent Plant are among a number of technology partners with whom it is collaborating to drive its on-going pivot into renewables and a current focus on offshore wind.

“We are very happy to underline our relationship with Intelligent Plant through this extended tie-up. We have worked closely over recent years, seeking to drive our shared values around delivering best-in-class analytics and intelligence to the energy sector. As a strategic partner, we will continue to move forwards together exploring further opportunities to develop and evolve this offering,” Stuart Harvey, Proserv’s Vice President, Digital Innovation, said.
