Clariant North America

Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals, has its North American headquarters located in Charlotte. The campus includes five buildings whose controls system consisted of an antiquated front end running on a desk-top computer and two systems—one old and one new— that weren’t “talking” to each other.

Clariant inquired about how to best achieve a new controls solution that could be fully accessed and managed in one location. The scope of the project would entail upgrading the older system and integrating the newer BACnet™ system into a centralized one that would provide Clariant increased efficiency, flexibility and cost savings. Integrations, like the one involved in the this project, can be tricky business if the controls contractor does not have the required experience and skill level. As an Authorized Honeywell Controls Integrator, United Automation has both.
