Process availability refers to the amount of time you are able to keep your loops up and  running.  Money is lost every time your facility is shut down to perform maintenance or fix problems.   These costs are magnified whenever the shutdown is unscheduled.  FIELDVUE^® instruments can help you reduce both scheduled and unscheduled down time.

Equipment wear and tear creates a need for scheduled plant shutdowns.  As the performance of your equipment degrades, production suffers.  Scheduled shutdowns allow for proper planning and minimal lost time.   However, when a unit shuts down unexpectedly, you not only have to fix the problem, but you have to find the problem.  Unscheduled outages create drops in production and if eliminated or reduced, offer the opportunity for dramatic improvements in profitability.
