Connected Services for Valves

Valve Condition Monitoring

Real-time, non-intrusive health monitoring from Emerson valve experts allows for focused, predictive analysis to help you improve overall plant safety, availability, and profitability.

What is Valve Condition Monitoring?

Valve Condition Monitoring is a diagnostic service focused on providing predictive analysis of your control valves, with the intent of identifying potential failures. With early identification of potential issues, you can act or plan for action, before a failure occurs and avoid costly unplanned downtime.

Implementing a Valve Condition Monitoring program for your valves is an important step to turn your process plant into a Top Quartile Performer.

The Power of Valve Diagnostics
 

By partnering with Emerson, manufacturers can collect vital valve health data from the field and provide more realistic valve failure information than could be generated through modeling. Our connected approach enables diagnostic data from multiple sources to be visualized and aggregated and allows team members located around the world to look and work on the same data in a collaborative manner. Analysts can view valve health data and look at valve condition history to determine trends and predict impending valve deterioration, which means valve maintenance can be scheduled and performed well before an operator alarm is triggered. 


Below are several real-world scenarios of how we can help prevent valve-related problems.

“Having a remote monitoring
system means we don’t have
to worry as much about valve
failures. With more—and better—
information, we can order parts
in advance, schedule repairs, and
limit unexpected downtime.”
