Three Steps to Maximize Your Next Outage with a Data-Driven Valve Maintenance Strategy
Jim Cahill
Are you asking yourself why we prioritize the same valve list over and over again for every outage? When you started as a reliability or maintenance engineer, your manager handed you a list of valves to service during each outage. You’ve been using that list repeatedly at this point and you may occasionally discover that certain valves don’t require maintenance during the outage. If you are creating your own valve list…

Future of Automation and Control
Jim Cahill
Over at the ISA Interchange blog , an interesting set of questions about the future appeared from the ISA Mentor Program: What do you see as changes occurring now and in the future? Today, is working from home better or worse than driving across town to a factory or office? Does that kind of change affect cost, availability, quality, schedule, stability, marketability, or some other factors? Are these changes positive…

Digital Technologies Support Safe Remote Operation of Offshore Platforms
Jim Cahill
The ability to remotely operate offshore oil and gas platforms enables companies to minimize the number of people required on board the platform. Because less accommodation is then required, the weight of the platform can be reduced, leading to cost savings, while transporting fewer people offshore increases safety, by keeping more workers away from potential hazards, and also reduces operating costs. In an article in…
