Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) has long been a critical metric by which maintenance and reliability teams objectify their performance, and for good reason; it makes complex production problems far easier to calculate, digest, and remedy by simplifying the...
It is easier than ever to store massive amounts of data. The cost of wireless sensing technologies has dropped dramatically, making it much easier to instrument every asset in the plant and ensure that no performance aberration goes unnoticed. However, bringing in all...
A rapid decrease in the cost of sensing equipment has driven many reliability teams to implement even more automated condition monitoring across their facilities. A wide variety of new technologies are both easy to implement and full of robust features to increase...
In this podcast, Alessea Lane & Michael Tworzydlo discuss the most recent release of the Plantweb Optics platform and Plantweb Optics Analytics software applications.
Today’s plants frequently have limited personnel but still need to find ways to do more work and meet increasing goals and quotas. This dichotomy frequently causes a problem when it comes to asset monitoring, which is traditionally performed by technicians manually...
In this Storage Terminal Reliability podcast, Emerson Expert Carlos Matos, highlights the true cost of not being proactive (thousands of dollars per day) on shutdowns and repairs and provides how there are now innovative technologies like Plantweb Insight that can help you utilize the latest Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies to monitor your equipment and provide maintenance for your unique process.
Solids production in the gas industry remains one of the main challenges that needs to be addressed to avoid integrity issues or loss of production. Implementing the appropriate monitoring technology helps improve maintenance routines and increase safety.
Tinh Phan shares some ways manufacturers and producers can address some of the long lead times that they may be experiencing from their suppliers with regard to instrumentation and automation by incorporating predictive maintenance strategies.
Reliability of assets used in the manufacturing process is paramount for safe, efficient and effective operations. Unplanned asset failures, improper asset performance, poor maintenance planning, and untimely follow-through can cause shutdowns, under-utilized production equipment, deviations, or material/product losses.
In a series of storage terminal reliability podcasts, Emerson experts will share ways that safety, environmental and operational risks can be mitigated. Emerson’s Manuel Arroyo, Director, Oil & Gas Industry Programs kicks off this podcast series by highlighting some of the risks & challenges and previews some of the technologies that can help these terminals improve reliability, safety, environmental compliance and terminal operations.
Advanced automation technology from Emerson is helping to solve a range of solids level measurement challenges at a large lime processing plant in the US. The need to reduce costs and increase operational efficiency is driving greater adoption of automation...
Much of our vibration analytics today are still based on Fourier Transform which analyzes complex vibration by superpositioning a variety of sines and cosines waves of different but related frequencies.
