The goal of a company should be to prevent unplanned downtime. In order to do that you need to create a reliable system. A reliable system can be measured in a variety of ways. Two key metrics include MTTR (Mean Time To Recovery) and MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure). Mean Time To Recovery is the time it takes for a tool or process to be repaired, or to go back online. Mean Time Between Failure is the time it takes for a machine to fail from a planned down state to a unplanned state. Both are significant in the developed of preventative maintenance schedules.
Being able to understand when a system may fail allows you to create a maintenance schedule and will help avoid unplanned downtime.
Valin provides process instrumentation inspection audits to define the right maintenance regimen based on your plant's requirements. We can also provide the technology to give you real-time visibility and self-monitoring capabilities either locally viewable via a touchscreen, or you can have remote access from any location. Having 24/7 visibility to a system can allow you to assess a system before it fails.
