  • Managing Localised Corrosion Using Online Wall Thickness Monitoring

    The purpose of online integrity monitoring is to enhance the operational performance of an asset through improved decision making whilst the equipment is live or on-stream, avoiding loss of containment whilst maximising asset productivity. This is achieved using advanced corrosion and erosion monitoring technologies through a combination of: Early detection of corrosion or erosion events, before the risk of loss of…
  • Edge to Cloud-Liberating Stranded Data

    Automation systems and a huge number of smart sensors are producing vast amounts of data that can, ideally, be used to improve business outcomes. But only if the data can be accessed and analyzed. For a surprising number of reasons, both technical and commercial, however, valuable data remains inaccessible and stranded in the industrial landscape. In a recent white paper on liberating stranded data , we discuss how…

  • Shorten the Equipment Validation Process to Bring Projects Online Faster

    One of the key stages delaying and increasing costs in life sciences projects is equipment validation. In fact, it is one of the elements of project completion that project teams are most eager to compress because the value of every incremental improvement is so great. As Michalle Adkins explains in her recent article in Pharma Manufacturing , “Ultimately, the total cost and time of the full validation process can be…

  • Four Best Practices for Condition Monitoring

    It is easier than ever to store massive amounts of data. The cost of wireless sensing technologies has dropped dramatically, making it much easier to instrument every asset in the plant and ensure that no performance aberration goes unnoticed. However, bringing in all this data carries with it the risk of information floods. If data is collected and stored without a plan, it can easily become overwhelming. To help organizations…
