DeltaV™ Live Modernization Services

Transform legacy DeltaV graphics and operator workflows into a modern, intuitive control-system experience that improves operator effectiveness, supports workforce transitions, and reduces long-term maintenance challenges.

Modernization is more than a software upgrade. It is an opportunity to improve how operators interact with critical process information, standardize graphics and navigation, and build a control environment designed for today's workforce.

R.E. Mason helps process manufacturers modernize DeltaV systems through a structured approach that combines technical expertise, Human Centered Design principles, operator engagement, and proven migration processes
What Does DeltaV Modernization Mean?
Modernization vs. Upgrade

What Does DeltaV Modernization Mean?

Many facilities operate reliable DeltaV systems but continue to rely on legacy graphics, aging standards, and workflows originally designed years ago.
 

A software upgrade improves system supportability. A modernization initiative improves the operator experience.

Modernization may include:

  • Conversion from DeltaV Operate to DeltaV Live
  • Improved graphics and navigation
  • ISA-101 aligned HMI design
  • Human Centered Design implementation
  • Standardized libraries and faceplates
  • Contextual displays and operator guidance
  • Workstation layout optimization
  • Operator training and adoption support
Challenges We Help Solve

Challenges We Help Solve

  • Aging Operator Interfaces
    • Legacy graphics often require excessive navigation and can make it difficult for operators to quickly identify critical process conditions.
  • Workforce Transition
    • As experienced operators retire, facilities need intuitive interfaces that help newer personnel become proficient faster.
  • Inconsistent Standards
    • Years of modifications can lead to inconsistent graphics, navigation philosophies, and operator experiences across the plant.
  • Validation & Compliance Concerns
    • Especially in life sciences environments, modernization projects must minimize risk while supporting testing and validation requirements.
  • Project Risk and Rework
    • Poorly planned migrations can create unnecessary engineering effort, extended testing cycles, and avoidable costs.

FAQ

DeltaV Live modernization enhances the operator experience by converting legacy graphics and workflows into a modern, standards-based HMI environment designed for improved usability and effectiveness.
A version upgrade updates software. Modernization improves how operators interact with the control system through graphics, navigation, workflows, libraries, and Human Centered Design principles.
Yes. Legacy DeltaV Operate graphics can be converted and modernized into DeltaV Live using a structured migration approach.
By utilizing proven conversion processes, reusable libraries, operator workshops, staged deployment strategies, testing procedures, and training programs.
Not always. Modernization can often be implemented in phases while supporting existing operations.
