Introduction: The traditional build-on-site method of construction puts the full burden on the end-user. The end user must design a system, source the required components and put them together.

When designing a modular structural skid, what end connections should be assumed for the horrizontal runners (studs)? If both ends are fixed, is the beam indete

One way to distinguish your skids is to make them easier to integrate into an end user’s facility. End users also want equipment that seamlessly bridges the gap between the plant floor and the enterprise, a solution that defines how to communicate and tie skid commands, data and alarms together. Skid builders can accomplish this goal by using the EtherNet/IP™ network, replacing a multitiered networking strategy with one standard network also helps reduce engineering time and integration risks.

Skid building is a modular process skids system that is contained within an exterior frame, enabling the processing system to be transported and used with ease.

Modular process skids have many advantages over traditional systems. Let us look at some of the reasons as to why the plants should move to the modular process skids.
