When to consider modernization:
When this happens:
- Plant trip and alarm systems are unreliable and/or inadequate.
- Production is inflexible and start-up time is lengthy.
- Business systems lack meaningful production data.
- Obsolete system support costs continue to increase.
- Difficulty in maintaining skills for obsolescence support due to employee turnover
When you’re missing these:
- Integration of production information with business systems for more informed and timely decisions.
- Integrating predictive maintenance practices to focus your maintenance resources, saving time and money.
- Providing actionable field service alerts to operations and maintenance to minimize disruptions to production.
You could expect:
- Increased availability (reduced unplanned outages)
- Increased process performance & efficiency
- Reduced emissions
- Increased safety
- Improved operational flexibility
- More empowered workforce.
