"The Goal"

Predictive Maintenance and Performance Optimization

FIELDVUE^® instrumentation will keep you in line with the ultimate goal of plant optimization.  In which category do you operate?   Where do you want to operate?

Corrective maintenance requires the least amount of planning and effort.  However, unscheduled shutdowns are costly and inefficient.

Preventative maintenance is a step in the right direction, however you may be fixing equipment that is not in need of repair.

Predictive maintenance is obtainable by using diagnostic tests, alarms, and alerts with your field instrumentation.  Now, you can schedule repairs on equipment that is about to fail, before it affects your process.  Valves that are not in need of repair can be identified to reduce the scope of your maintenance efforts.

Maximum profitability can be achieved through optimization of your equipment.  Whenever your valve falls below your minimum requirement for performance, tuning or repairs can be performed before your variability increases.

The powerful capabilities of the FIELDVUE family of instruments put you on the path to plant optimization.
