  • UPDATED BIMONTHLY

A typical plant is losing millions annually from poorly-performing control systems. Typically, 20-30% of controls are in manual mode. Up to 85% of control loops have sub-optimal settings. 20-40% of controllers are oscillating, adding to plant variability, and hurting reliability. With so many issues, it can be hard to monitor, prioritize, and resolve issues.

    Improving OEE with predictive control valve maintenance

    Most industrial facilities are only leveraging a small fraction of the available process and equipment data, while many problems lie hidden in plain view. Large, expensive equipment can receive a lot of attention, while smaller, less expensive equipment is not monitored as closely. However, it should be, as up to 30% of control valves, for example, can improve process performance with minor repairs or upgrades.
