Step1: Field Digital Device Diagnostics

There are so many devices from a variety of vendors and it is difficult for any one operator to monitor their health. It is a waste of time and money to check devices that are functioning normally, which is what often happens with time-based maintenance (TBM). We propose a more effective approach that enables you to know exactly when maintenance should be performed.

• Our field digital device diagnostics show how to eliminate the root causes of inaccuracy in measurement and control.
• The monitoring of the conditions of all your field devices enables a condition-based maintenance (CBM) approach.

1. Field Asset KPI Report

Based on the information gathered from field devices, KPI reports are generated that help to visualize which device or interface process is likely to experience an abnormality.

2. Consulting services

Using our know-how and expertise, we offer field digital baseline tuning and consulting services to correct the problems identified in the KPI reports.

3. Maintenance optimization

Consulting reports present proposals on how to make use of device information, which may include the use of PRM to optimize the daily maintenance workflow.

1. A condition- and risk-based maintenance and operation approach

• Easier to prioritize maintenance work.
• Make the best use of your maintenance expenditures.
• Optimize Process operation.

2. Get maximum benefits from field digital technology over the entire plant lifecycle

• Have an exact, quantitative grasp of your field device conditions.
• Improve asset reliability by being able to analyze and solve bad actors.

Yokogawa's InsightSuiteAE enabled us to easily grasp the device health and early detect problems that Mitsubishi maintenance engineers hadn't recognized. By using both PRM and KPI Report, Mitsubishi was actually able to spot a failure in a critical temperature transmitter that was connected to the safety system and could take corrective action before this could cause a plant shutdown.
