Predictive maintenance brings non-stop plant production

The conventional method tends to require frequent site checks and periodic shut-down maintenance

Integrated device management enables predictive maintenance and helps maximize plant uptime

Conventional device management:

PRM Integrated Plant Resource Manager:

- Requires frequent site checks and periodic shutdown maintenance to prevent device-failure-induced downtime

- Even the so-called smart devices typically require separate device databases for HART and FOUNDATION fieldbus™

- Integrated:
HART and FOUNDATION fieldbus™ devices managed in a single unified database

- Open:
Diagnostics "plug-in" software cassettes integrate 3rd party diagnostic solutions, e.g. valve diagnostics for Masoneilan, Fisher, and Metso valves

BEFORE: Repetitious maintenance and unwanted downtime occur

AFTER: Predictive maintenance increases plant uptime

The Know in Advance Advantage

Integrated plant resource manager makes predictive maintenance a reality, freeing you up from the more costly preventive maintenance. A single-database open connectivity ensures unified device management across different digital fieldbus protocols and multiple device suppliers.

Key Technologies

Multi-server and unified architecture

- Unified database for HART and FOUNDATION fieldbus™

- PRM client can access multiple server database

- Robust scalability up to large-scale plant

The Voice of an Industry Leader

"Yokogawa delivers on the promise of a plant asset management (PAM) system with self-diagnosing intelligent field device connectivity through PRM, which has the ability to provide predictive and remote maintenance."
