Optimizing Performance and Reliability
Our field proven result oriented service for auditing and surveying the drives and automation equipment combines knowledge, experience and technology; it covers:
- Thorough review of the equipment topology and the control strategies and how they adapt to the process.
- Objective evaluation of the performance of the control and automation systems using advanced analysis and modeling techniques.
- Reliability evaluation of the system infrastructure (Incoming power supply, communication, grounding)
- Objective analysis of all the data and transforming it into valuable information with a clear and focused machine history.
- Continuous monitoring and analysis of controls performance as well as key process variables and parameters.
- Objective and expert analysis of all the data and transforming it into valuable information with a clear and focused machine history.
- Detection of irregularities, intermittent problems and long term drifts or changes.
