## Case Study: Industrial Combustion and Gasification Research Facility

### Learn how University of Utah engineering students upgraded 7 automation systems and 1,360 I/O points to a single control center.

With student programs for automation in oil, gas, coal, and utility industries growing quickly, ICGRF faced a challenge: upgrading legacy hardware and software systems to a modern, integrated system.
