Maximizing and maintaining process and equipment availability is necessary to achieve production and cost targets. Plant managers need the ability to recognize how hard they can push the unit without risking the integrity of key pieces of equipment and to be able to accurately plan for equipment turnarounds as they become necessary. What this requires is a tight connection between process data and equipment health monitoring so that boundary limits are recognized even though operating modes and equipment demands are constantly changing.
Honeywell’s reliability solutions improve availability and reduce downtime through proactive asset management and early detection of potential problems ranging from corrosion to equipment failure. They help plant managers deliver product to plan and operate consistently, with reliability improvements of 7-10%.
