Process Automation System

One of the key ways manufacturers monitor production conditions is through asset management software. Asset management software gives manufacturers the tools to record and document the configuration of each instrument, as well as track and report on any device changes. Providing this information helps end users and OEMs increase the reliability of their instrumentation and validate their processes.

In the past, intelligent field instruments have been individually configured through applications specific to the device. This becomes complex, especially in large facilities, and increases the mean time to repair (MTTR), not to mention the added installation costs.

Individual protocol nuisances, and separate integration and configuration methods also create a high learning curve for operations and maintenance staff. As a result, many facilities have designated specific personnel responsible for specific instruments. This creates the need for separate laptops, login credentials, and applications that have to be managed and tracked, making it difficult to determine the configuration of all the plant assets at any given time.
