InstrumentationActive provides the added security of 24/7 support and access to technical expertise and assistance, ideal for more complex instruments and applications.
This option includes a portfolio of complementary services such as telephone support, corrective and preventive maintenance and calibration and verification assistance which can be combined to meet individual needs.
InstrumentationActive+ is a portfolio of specialised services which delivers a full cradle-to-cradle lifecycle management programme.
The package provides a customised solution to prolonging the performance of critical equipment through targeted maintenance and upgrades, based on the probability of failure and the severity of the consequences.
With the right consideration, a good instrument maintenance plan, including verification, calibration and routine checks, can be invaluable in ensuring reliable, energy efficient plant performance.
The brochure forms part of the ABB commitment to helping plant operators to achieve these goals through effective lifecycle management.
"More and more companies are choosing instruments with good predictive and diagnostic capabilities to help them minimise the waste in energy, materials and resources caused by poorly controlled processes," says Neil Ritchie, Service Manager for the ABB UK instrumentation business.
"Nevertheless, it is vital that they protect their investment with an expert lifecycle management programme that considers the handling of both planned and unplanned maintenance for their plant, which is where ABB can help".
