The difficulty in finding qualified personnel with all of the needed skills puts pressure on every department in an industrial plant, but it’s particularly challenging in maintenance and optimization of control systems. These systems are at the heart of plant operations, so even small inefficiencies can result in unplanned downtime and reduced productivity. But you don’t have enough people with the right skills to maintain the control system and optimize its output. Even if you had the skill, you don’t have the time and bandwidth to establish a cost-effective maintenance schedule, prevent slowdowns and outages, and meet the constant demand for greater productivity and output, or faster time-to-market. It’s a vicious cycle.
That’s one of the reasons why industrial users turn more and more to their equipment experts for affordable lifecycle services customized to their plant’s requirements. Less vendors than partners, equipment manufacturers today help users reduce risk and optimize systems to meet emerging demands A key example is Emerson Lifecycle Services. Having experts that immediately resolve and troubleshoot issues affecting your bottom line is critical to the success of your organization.
