Optimize Plant Assets and Availability
To improve profitability, you need to effectively manage your plant production assets. The Integrated Architecture provides system-wide data accessibility and asset management capabilities that enable you to improve equipment availability, reduce downtime, manage production and improve overall plant performance.
The system enables maintenance personnel to plan repair activities and reduce potential downtime by monitoring critical production equipment and performing predictive diagnostics that automatically alert them to issues. It provides them with the information and tools they need to identify and locate faults easily while reducing the risk of damage to equipment, and it assists them to perform those repairs more quickly. Redundant controller and power supply options further improve availability and reduce your risk.
To optimize your use of production assets, smart field instruments and devices with built-in control and diagnostic capabilities provide process control and production information. The Integrated Architecture then captures, analyzes and disburses information that impacts plant performance.
When you produce multiple products with the same production assets, the system's production management functions provide system-wide equipment arbitration, efficiently managing shared resources and optimizing production capacity.
Using the Integrated Architecture to monitor, manage and maintain your production assets increases plant performance.
