Invensys has chosen ExperTune's PlantTriage performance monitoring system to underpin their comprehensive new process control Loop Management Services. Together, the two companies will help customers maximize the performance of their installed automation assets.PlantTriage allows Invensys process control experts to quickly identify where control or process improvements would result in the greatest economic benefit. Full control valve and loop diagnostics are obtained in normal operation while the plant remains on-line.
PlantTriage easily connects via OPC to Foxboro I/A Series automation system or any other process control system." When we conceived the new service and were evaluating potential technology suppliers, only ExperTune had the complete tool set to enable monitoring, diagnostics and remediation with its award winning Advanced Analysis and Tuning software embedded within PlantTriage," said Harris Kagan, director of technology marketing at Invensys Process Systems. "In order to bring real value to our customers we saw the need to have the tools to correct problems found as critical. ExperTune is the only solution in the market place that filled this need.
Moreover, since we are providing a service, the comprehensive reporting available with this tool enables us to quickly track and share with our customers the improvements we've been able to achieve." Following remediation, Invensys provides a report documenting the loop performance improvements that were achieved. Ongoing remote monitoring, reporting, prioritization, and on-site remediation services are available to help ensure optimal plant performance over time.Harris Kagan of Invensys continues, "Poorly performing control loops, and particularly oscillating loops, often result in excessive valve wear, thus increasing maintenance requirements.
By off-loading day-to-day loop management to Invensys, process manufacturers can realize optimal control loop performance, while freeing typically overworked plant personnel to perform other critical plant tasks."
