From instrument health to equipment health.
Netilion knows your instrumentation: what’s installed, how healthy each device is, and everything you need to act on it. UReason understands the equipment those instruments are attached to: how it’s performing, what’s degrading, and which maintenance action to prioritise.
Netilion is the instrumentation foundation. UReason reasons about the equipment above it.
Netilion is the trusted instrumentation and device-health foundation. UReason builds on the operational data to determine how your pumps, motors, gearboxes, heat exchangers and control valves are actually behaving — and, where a measurement is missing, adds soft sensors to fill the gap.
You keep Netilion as your instrumentation system of record, and gain a predictive layer above it that reasons about the physical equipment itself. Together they take you from “is my instrument healthy?” to “is the equipment performing properly, what is degrading, and what should I do first?”
“Netilion provides visibility into your installed instrumentation, device diagnostics, lifecycle and documentation. UReason detects developing equipment degradation, predicts it, and prioritises the maintenance actions that matter — adding virtual measurements wherever the instrumentation doesn’t reach.”
What is installed, and is it healthy?
Device diagnostics, process values, lifecycle risks, documentation.
What is happening to the equipment?
Why is it happening, what’s likely next, which asset needs attention first.
What should we do, where, and when?
One prioritised recommendation with the context to execute it.
The instrumentation layer.
Endress+Hauser’s cloud-based IIoT ecosystem for field instrumentation: a digital representation of every device in your plant, with its data, diagnostics, documentation and lifecycle information available to the people who need it.
Installed-base visibility
A digital inventory of field instrumentation down to individual tags: device types, manufacturers, lifecycle status, obsolescence and standardisation opportunities.
Device health
Diagnostic status, causes and remedies across devices from 50+ manufacturers — including valves and pumps — plus remote Heartbeat Verification without interrupting the process.
Process values
Remote access to live measurement data with threshold-based alerts.
Documentation
Manuals, certificates, calibration and repair records held alongside the asset instead of scattered across repositories.
The equipment-intelligence layer.
Where Netilion focuses on the device, UReason focuses on the physical equipment the device is measuring. Equipment-specific applications turn operational data into a prioritised, explainable picture of asset health.
Centrifugal pumps
Abnormal operating behaviour, degradation and developing failures.
Motors / VFDs
Electrical and mechanical degradation and abnormal operating patterns.
Gearboxes
Developing mechanical degradation and intervention priority.
Control valves
Stiction, performance degradation and abnormal valve behaviour.
Heat exchangers
Deteriorating performance and conditions requiring investigation or cleaning.
Compressors
Efficiency loss, fouling and developing mechanical degradation.
Filters
Differential pressure and blinding, to time changeouts and cleaning.
Mixers / agitators
Abnormal loading, seal and drive-train degradation.
Across all of them: condition monitoring, failure-mechanism insight, prediction, cross-equipment prioritisation, a clear recommended action, and full explainability — so engineers can trust and trace every call.
A healthy device. A degrading piece of equipment.
A field device can report a healthy diagnostic while the equipment around it is quietly degrading. The instrument itself may not yet register a conventional fault, while the process behaviour surrounding it already reveals the problem.
That’s the gap an equipment-level predictive application closes on top of device-level diagnostics — and it applies just as much to a pump, a motor or a heat exchanger as to a valve.
Valve CV-118
Two viewsUReason soft sensors extend the instrumentation without new hardware.
Netilion tells UReason which real instruments exist and how trustworthy each one currently is. UReason adds model-based virtual measurements inferred from the signals you already collect.
Values you never instrumented
Infer efficiencies, internal conditions and derived process variables — extending monitoring coverage across brownfield assets with no additional devices.
Soft-sensed variables sharpen UReason’s degradation detection and prediction quality.
An independent cross-check
Run a soft sensor alongside a physical measurement. If the two diverge while Netilion still reports the device healthy, that’s an early signal of drift, fouling or miscalibration.
A natural companion to Heartbeat Verification.
Equipment monitoring never goes dark
When an instrument is offline, under maintenance or flagged unhealthy in Netilion, the soft sensor maintains an estimated value.
Netilion’s device health tells UReason how far to trust each input; UReason’s soft sensors cross-check the instruments Netilion manages.
Netilion makes it actionable. UReason makes it predictive. Soft sensors make it possible where instrumentation stops.
Layer equipment intelligence onto what you already have.
For operators who already run substantial installed bases of pumps, motors/VFDs, gearboxes, heat exchangers, control valves, compressors, filters and mixers, alongside extensive field instrumentation.
- Netilion — your instrumentation and lifecycle foundation, preserved
- UReason — equipment intelligence and soft-sensing layered on top
- Maintenance — one prioritised, documented action
Both platforms are multi-vendor and designed to work without disturbing the control loop.
Rip and replace
Nothing is removed. Netilion remains the instrumentation system of record; UReason reads the operational data that already exists.
New hardware
Where a measurement is missing, a soft sensor fills it — no new devices, no new wiring.
Another device dashboard
UReason doesn’t duplicate device health. It moves up the asset hierarchy to the equipment the devices are attached to.
Netilion knows the instrumentation.
UReason understands the equipment.
Keep Netilion as your instrumentation system of record. Add UReason to move from “is my instrument healthy?” to “is the equipment performing properly, what is degrading, what should I prioritise — and where can a soft sensor give me the reading I never installed?”
