Resolving Manufacturing Inefficiencies

By David Schultz On May 28, 2019 · Leave a Comment

I started this blog in 2011 when I was with Emerson Automation Solutions (Emerson Process Management at the time). Since then I have moved to a role focused on SCADA, MES, manufacturing intelligence and IIoT. I still maintain that asset reliability and availability is a robust strategy in a global economy. […]

AMS and Advanced Diagnostics

By David Schultz On March 20, 2012 · 3 Comments

Pen and Paper.  Table and Chair.  Bert and Ernie.  These are example of the many items we often find together.  These all provide some benefit when found alone.  However, when we find them together, they are an unbeatable combination.  The same should be thought of with AMS […]

Reliability with Wireless Technology

By David Schultz On February 28, 2012 · Leave a Comment

 

Wireless technology can have a huge impact on your process reliability.  When a company develops a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) program, it must first understand the current status of its reliability.  It must also formulate the desired status.  The process requires the collection of a significant amount of information.  Furthermore, […]

Measurement Validation with High Density Temperature Measurement

Measurement Validation

By David Schultz On February 21, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Measurement Validation is the next step in making reliable process measurements.  By continuously monitoring temperature deviations, problems like failing RTDs, corroded terminals and excessive vibration can be detected.  You now have the ability to know not only your process temperature, but that it is […]

Cleaning Plugged Impulse Lines

By David Schultz On February 13, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Plugged tapping points and impulse lines continue to be two of the greatest challenges within process instrumentation.  While I have presented strategies on mitigating or detecting the conditions, when a plug occurs the plug needs to be cleaned.  When a Best Practice of compact primary elements is not practical and Advanced Diagnostics […]

Reliability through New Technology

By David Schultz On January 31, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Along with advanced diagnostics and best practices, new technology can have a significant impact on your process control and instrumentation reliability.  In the United States we pride ourselves on having some of the best technology which leads to good reliability and availability.  However, technology that has been developed even in the last 10 years can […]

Reliability through Best Practices

By David Schultz On January 24, 2012 · Leave a Comment

While using best practices for your process control and instrumentation would seem obvious, best practices are not always common practices.  Often times plants are unaware of a better way to control the process.  The common adage is this is the way we have always done it.  Similar to new technology, best practices take current technology […]

Reliability with Advanced Diagnostics

By David Schultz On January 17, 2012 · 4 Comments

Using instruments with Advanced Diagnostics is one of the three main strategies I commonly present to achieve process control and instrumentation reliability.  There is a lot of diagnostic information available about your process that is not currently being captured.  Accessing it allows you to fully develop a Predictive Maintenance (PdM) program for your process. […]
