With over twenty five years of usage and tens of thousands of installations HART technology is used in countless innovative applications.
HART Communication is the global standard for the process automation industry. An estimated 80%-90% of all measurement and control devices shipped each year are HART-enabled.
Users around the world get valuable process and diagnostic information from their systems to enable them to avoid unplanned shutdowns, improve plant reliability, lower maintenance cost and diagnose potential device problems from anywhere within their enterprise.
The following examples provide actual user experiences that outline the value they receive by connecting and integration HART data into their systems and work processes.
PAST PLANT OF THE YEAR WINNERS
DRAMATIC ADVANCES IN OPERATIONAL RELIABILITY UNDERPINNED BY FIELDCOMM GROUP TECHNOLOGIES
If one’s seeking to understand the difference that data-based decision-making can make in process performance, one need look no further than Dow’s Texas Operations (TXO), on the Gulf Coast in Freeport.
CHEVRON PHILLIPS PROJECT SURVIVES HURRICANE HARVEY WITH HELP FROM FOUNDATION FIELDBUS, SMART HART DEVICES AND ITS DCS
Reducing the time for site acceptance testing (SAT), faster commissioning and loop-check, and record time for production startup were key savings generated by using HART and FOUNDATION Fieldbus
MRPL SHOWS ITS THOUGHT LEADERSHIP APPROACH TO CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGIES
Utilizing installation savings and advanced diagnostics from over 9,000 FOUNDATION Fieldbus and 5,000 HART devices, MRPL saved over $6,000,000 in project cost alone!
SHELL PRELUDE FLNG SAVES BIG WITH FIELDCOMM GROUP TECHNOLOGIES
Utilizing device templates reduces commissioning and loop check time by 80% while remote access to advanced diagnostics enables predictive maintenance.
REFINERY CONTINUES THEIR DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND WINS SECOND PLANT OF THE YEAR AWARD.
In one of the all-time greatest cases of not resting on laurels, MOL Danube Refinery near Budapest has become the first repeat winner of FieldComm Group (FCG) Plant of the Year Award in its almost 15-year history.
