Budget cuts and limited expertise have made it difficult for large asset owners to handle valve repairs themselves. However, specialized valve service companies now provide high-quality repairs and maintenance as a service independently.

Practical Industry 4.0 says that you should look around the plant for your pain points. What are the things that cause the plant to shut down unexpectedly, or cause products to be made incorrectly.

Practical Industry 4.0 offers solutions that existing plants can implement to prevent unplanned shutdowns. It enables plant operators to make their plants work better with the data they already have.

Manpower-intensive and time-consuming individual valve inspections can be replaced by a tool that checks valve Remaining Useful Life, allowing for preventative maintenance strategies that can reduce unplanned shutdowns.

To start implementing Industry 4.0, focus on maintenance, specifically problem control valves, and use a special tool to check their Remaining Useful Life and set up preventative maintenance strategies to reduce unplanned shutdowns.

Industry 4.0 promises future rewards, but proving current worth is vital. Predicting control valve failures using existing data avoids unplanned shutdowns and unnecessary costs.

AI is transforming industrial maintenance by predicting control valve failures. Learn how AI-driven predictive maintenance can optimize your plant's performance.

Valve life expectancy is hard to track, with various vendors and limited resources for monitoring. Smart attributes are difficult to use without rewiring or costly wireless transducers.

Control valves are vital in pharmaceutical manufacturing due to their discontinuous nature. Their failure can result in significant production losses and costly re-validation.
