Smarter operations

You must improve operating efficiency and profitability, with diminishing resources. Where do you start?
 

 
  Responding to the day-to-day operations challenges of an LNG facility can distract you from making dramatic, competition-topping changes in your efficiency and effectiveness. But with PlantWeb you have a tool to hold operational expenditures (OPEX) in check while extracting the greatest possible performance from your operation. PlantWeb’s unique digital plant architecture uses the power of predictive intelligence to improve performance by delivering better quality data to the right person so you can make informed decisions. With PlantWeb’s intelligent field devices and advanced analytical software you move your entire operations to a predictive model that identifies problems even before they become problems.

Seven ways PlantWeb puts you in control

  • Safety, Health and Environment.  Imagine your process automation assets giving you the power to predict and prevent abnormal situations instead of simply reacting to them. With PlantWeb, you can.
     
  • Availability.  PlantWeb allows you to maximize availability by preventing unplanned shutdowns and maximizing the effectiveness of planned ones. PlantWeb helps detect and correct conditions that can lead to equipment failure or process upset.
     
  • Operations & Maintenance.   In a recent survey, the number one issue manufacturers face is reducing the cost of operations and maintenance while meeting safety, quality and quantity of output targets. PlantWeb helps you reduce costs, plus increase staff productivity.
     
  • Quality.   The number one cause of product quality degradation is process variability. PlantWeb’s predictive intelligence helps you reduce process variability and improve quality.
     
  • Throughput.  PlantWeb lets you run closer to the true capabilities of your process and equipment, so you gain capacity that was previously hidden by less-than optimum performance. Finding your “hidden plant” delivers immediate improvements by helping you move setpoints closer to theoretical limits.
     
  • Energy and Utilities.  By increasing process quality, throughput, and availability, PlantWeb helps you use less fuel and energy to convert raw materials into final product.
     
  • Waste and Rework.  Worn equipment introduces variability. Variability delivers off-spec product. Off-spec product means wasted energy, raw materials and time. With PlantWeb you’ll be able to avoid the causes of waste and rework in the first place.

Performance you can count on

These opportunities build on the performance and reliability that Emerson valves, instruments, and systems have long been known for, such as transmitters with guaranteed 5-year "set and forget" calibration.

And because you can't afford unplanned downtime, PlantWeb's predictive intelligence constantly monitors device and process conditions to detect potential problems, so you can take corrective action before quality or uptime is affected.
