Reducing Unplanned Downtime Using Predictive Analytics

摘要

Why Ethernet-based systems and smart devices are essential for providing data on the health of key components. An important new development can help industry better predict the future. This development is the ability, through predictive analytics, to anticipate component failure before it shuts down a process. Predictive data comes from smart devices that may already be in operation at the plant or on a skid. And if not there yet, these smart devices can be quickly, easily, and cost effectively installed. Predictive analytics is not an all or nothing proposition. Operators can add predictive analytic capabilities at their own pace.
