Managing an instrument to ensure consistent levels of efficiency and performance throughout its lifetime can be a complex task that requires consideration of a host of different factors.
A good instrument maintenance plan, including verification, calibration and routine checks, can be invaluable in ensuring reliable, energy efficient plant performance.
The guide forms part of ABB's commitment to helping plant operators to achieve these goals through effective lifecycle management.
"More and more companies are choosing instruments with good predictive and diagnostic capabilities to help them minimise the waste in energy, materials and resources caused by poorly controlled processes", says Neil Ritchie, Service Manager for ABB UK's instrumentation business.
"Nevertheless, it is vital that they protect their investment with an expert lifecycle management programme that considers the handling of both planned and unplanned maintenance for their plant, which is where ABB can help".
