I just need a place to rant.
I had just returned from a trip to discuss and recommend a DCS system in a plant. I presented the reasoning to use one over the other. It is pretty much the company standard DCS that we've been using for the last 7 years. Standards have been built, graphics are all the same, etc. The plant loved the idea as well as the main engineering office.
I return and get an email that says upper management decided to use another DCS vendor.
I strongly suspect that upper management has become 'bought' from the other DCS vendor/distributor. Probably not the correct phrase, but in some way in cohorts with them.
Can't prove it, but it really stinks.
What to do now?
