Data Integrity starts with the design of the system which in the case of Yokogawa’s recorder, is based upon a non-Windows operating system. This means minimized risk of computer viruses or malicious codes. The SMARTDAC+ paperless recorder is a fit for purpose system with full integration of hardware and software (firmware) components. This results in less validation work.
Manufacturing operations in many sectors of industry know that measuring pH in brine or salt water presents technical challenges that, if ignored, lead to product loss, higher sensor wear, inefficient operation and high maintenance costs. For example, the salt solution can have an unfavourable effect on the production process by reducing the service life of the sensor, which the plant operator may not notice. But a remedy is possible. And we deal with the how in our blog article series “Three ways to optimise pH measurements in brine”.

Frequent and thorough monitoring takes up valuable time from operators and management. Robotics is the right way to improve efficiency. ATEX/IECEx Zone 1 certified robots will be the new benchmark for inspection and monitoring of hazardous areas.

NOA – NAMUR OPEN Architecture – is powerfully on the move. Two terms keep coming up: M+C sensors and M+O sensors. M+O stands for maintenance and optimization. These are the new ones. These are the ones that detect the properties of process components (not the process medium). The detection of vibrations of machine parts such as pumps or valves has already become a classic example of pure M+O sensors.

In the first part of this series we have dealt with the question of what is meant by “optimizing” in this context and whether it is worthwhile to “optimize”. If one has come to a positive result for oneself, the question now arises, which possibilities there are. The following presentation of possibilities in the second of a total of three articles in this series certainly does not claim to be complete, but is intended as an incentive and source of ideas.

With regard to optimization, it is often a matter of finding a consensus as to what optimization can actually be. This three-part article will also take a look at the resources available for this. Whether it is worthwhile to optimize and if and what the whole thing has to do with Industry 4.0.
