Modernize Your Rendering Plant with Dupps ICIS® Automated Process Control
In the animal byproducts rendering industry, efficiency is everything. Today’s rendering plants are constantly challenged to maximize throughput while optimizing product quality and equipment uptime.
The solution isn’t always working harder. Modern technology makes it possible for operators to gain greater visibility, control, and confidence in their rendering workflow. Working smarter starts with a better rendering process control system. Dupps has you covered.
Dupps ICIS® Automated Process Control Not long ago, rendering equipment operators relied on push buttons and switches to run their systems. However, these manual controls offered little insight into how the overall process was performing.
What if you could get a complete picture of everything happening across your rendering plant, in real time?
At Dupps, our ICIS® (Integrated Control and Information System) combines modern automation technology with decades of rendering process expertise to create customized control solutions for both new installations and retrofit projects.
Why Choose Dupp’s ICIS Process Control System?
1. Real Control. Real Visibility. Using industry-leading hardware and software, Dupps’ ICIS rendering control system brings together information from across your operation into a single, easy-to-read user interface.
Our robust technology fully monitors and controls virtually every operating parameter that impacts product quality, throughput, and overall plant efficiency, including temperatures, product level, weight, speed, pressure, flow rate, and motor load.
ICIS also features automated control loops for feed rates, temperature setpoints, discharge rates, and steam-based throughput optimization, helping operators maintain ideal process conditions while minimizing the need for manual adjustments.
2. Actionable Insights for Smarter Business Decisions The most successful rendering operations are making decisions based on data, not guesswork.
With ICIS, you gain access to real-time rendering process monitoring data that can be used for historical trending, performance reporting, and management analysis.
This gives your team the insights needed to identify inefficiencies, anticipate maintenance needs, and uncover opportunities to improve productivity and profitability.
The result is fewer surprises and greater confidence that your plant is operating at peak performance day in and day out.
3. Designed to Grow with You No two rendering facilities are exactly alike, and neither are their rendering equipment control system needs.
That's why Dupps designs our ICIS® solutions to be both flexible and scalable. Whether you're modernizing a legacy control panel or building a new facility from the ground up, every system is built in-house at Dupps and fully customized to your operation.
In addition to our base control platforms, customers have the option to add on advanced packages that fit their goals, including:
Remote Monitoring & Control — Remote access gateway allows Dupps experts to access via Ethernet to diagnose issues and make customer-approved process changes.
Reporting & Visibility — Provides real-time process feedback and daily reports to identify performance gaps, predictive maintenance, and opportunities to improve overall plant efficiency.
Advanced instrumentation — With more real-time information, including live material balances, operators can set guardrails and warnings that help improve system reliability and enhance system safety.
How to Get Started Upgrading your process controls doesn't have to mean overhauling your entire operation.
Dupps will work alongside your team to develop a customized control system that fits your current equipment, production goals, and vision for the future of your rendering plant. Our base platform is readily available, and installation typically only takes about a week, depending on the package and customization options. That means less downtime and fewer installation costs.
Best of all, the software is licensed to your facility, giving you the flexibility to choose the support model that works best for your operation. Whether you use Dupps’ service, a third-party integrator, or an in-house expert, you’re always in control.
