Smart Instruments and Calibration
Instruments – the originator of data – are critical elements of a plant. The concept of 'big Data' promises increased efficiency by shifting the 'gut based' decision model to an analytics based decision model. Unfortunately, analytic based decisions are as good as the quality of the data. This session will include in a group discussion where individual ideas will be unveiled around managing/understanding data integrity at the device level, and these ideas will be synthesized into a coherent thesis. The sub topics of the group discussions are:
• Evolution of Instruments...from hydraulic to Pneumatic to electronic to digital
• Smart instruments...predictive intelligence; control at the instruments
• Regulatory and standard requirements
• Data integrity...calibration excellence
• Managing the data
• How to react to and use the data
NOTES from:
Yellow Breakout Session
Standard Modules for cross site and standard instruments
Instrumentation is in separate system other than AMS
Rotational Programs with Automation
Metrology people as SMF(?)
Emerson training in metrology program
Adding new instruments through change control
Use of third party system for PMs, integrate this into AMS
Standards for type of networks
AMS on terminal servers to allow for mobil worker
PM programs based on history, or criticality based or other
Approved instrument lists
Define like for like as a version or greater (not just a version)
Devine level of change control for instrument change
Delta V tools don’t support all instruments so users end up not using the tools
Speed of AMS
System for training to commission or decommission.
