The Valve Health application is software that generates health index indicators based on the degradation level of the connected valves. The health index is calculated and displayed on a dashboard to easily view the health of the full fleet of valves. The Valve Health application combines Emerson expertise and valve analytics to provide indicators adapted to the user-defined parameters of each valve. The dashboard also displays trends of past health, valve problem explanations, recommended actions, and a recommended time frame to take action. The Valve Health application empowers users to prioritize maintenance decisions with better information to improve the reliability and performance of the plant.
