How Does Your Control System Measure Up Against Best Practices?

Jim Cahill

Author: Jocelyn Sexton When analyzing Best Practices, you want to know if your control system is up to par. Not only do you want to know if you’re meeting or exceeding industry standards and benchmarks, but you want to ensure your system is reliable and performing optimally to generate the results you expect. So how do you compare? Many customers have questions about improving reliability, security and managing…

Simplifying Pneumatic Valve Installation, Commissioning and Operation

Jim Cahill

For many applications in the process manufacturing and production industries, solenoid valves are used to “shut off, release, dose, distribute or mix fluids.” Wikipedia defines a solenoid valve as: …an electromechanically operated valve . The valve is controlled by an electric current through a solenoid : in the case of a two-port valve the flow is switched on or off; in the case of a three-port valve, the outflow…

Capturing Operator Knowledge Closest to the Source

Jim Cahill

Last week I co-presented at the Emerson Exchange Brussels conference on ways to cope with growing responsibilities and shrinking levels of expertise. With retirement and business “right-sizing” to match staff levels with business conditions, this is a challenge in many industries. To capture operational knowledge, one of the key points made in our presentation was to collect the expertise if possible in the tool most…
