Solution for Start Up
Issues during start up
Time before startup is limited,
but initial setting takes time and effort
Before
Adjustment is time-consuming due to the complex setting of smart positioner
The smart positioner currently used requires to perform from the setting Screen of display according to the prescribed procedure, which takes around 10 minutes to complete
After
Smart Valve Positioner
Adjustment and setting can be made easily anywhere. The auto setup function completes the time-consuming setting function in 90 seconds
The adjustment and setting system with a combination of LCD and the push buttons installed on the front of the smart valve positioner (Local User Interface (LUI)) allows operation without harming the explosion-proof structure, and the settings can be made quickly.
Adjustment and setting can also be made using a variety of mobile tools or the device management system.
With access from anywhere, including on-site, maintenance shop and operator room, the efficiency of adjustment and setting before operation is improved.

Issues during start up
Checkup before startup takes many man-hours and days
Before
The conventional checkup before startup requires confirmation by the engineer.
Conventional valve inspection is generally performed one by one by two operators, one in the control room and the other on-site, which requires time and workload.
After
Control valve maintenance support system PLUG-IN Valstaff
Automated inspection of control valve achieves much better efficiency and lower workload.
PULG-IN Valstaff inspects a large number of control valves by one operation, and provides a report on the inspection results, which allows for drastically fewer man-hours required for inspection activity.
Significantly shorter inspection time allows quicker production startup and less downtime.

Solution for Operation
Issues during operation
Equipment breaks down suddenly,
which affects the plant’s operation
Before
Equipment is likely to break down under severe operating conditions.
Control valves and positioners are expected to keep working for a long time, even under severe operating conditions such as corrosive gas atmosphere in the plant and in coastal areas subject to salt damage. In addition, since these parts are installed in the piping system, they are liable of being exposed to violent vibration. If their pneumatic system are not kept separate from the electrical and electronic parts, the risk of a breakdown is higher.
After
Smart Valve Positioner
Design reduced the risk of breakdown and achieves excellent durability at the same time
Electrical and electronic parts consisting of the print board, LCD, position sensor and coil are located in an explosion-proof container. The pneumatic air system through which instrument air that may contain oil or water passes, and the terminal block which may contact air containing water and corrosive gas, are located outside the explosion-proof container.
The above structure protects the electrical and electronic parts from risks and improves the reliability of the equipment.

Issues during operation
Failure to identify problems with equipment earlier
causes trouble with the plant’s operation
Before
It is difficult to notice problems in the control valves before they become obvious.
Any failure of the control valves working at key points in the production process would have an adverse effect to continuity of the plant’s operation and the quality of the products as well as cause trouble for the engineers.
It can be difficult to identify problems in the control valves before they become obvious, such as an unexpected change in the flow rate.

24/365 monitoring of the control valves operating condition.
Contribution to prevention of sudden troubles during operations.
PULG-IN Valstaff collects from the Smart Valve Positioners the operating data such as variances between the preset positions and the actual positions. It supports improving the efficiency of maintenance by detecting problems in valves earlier and visualizing the necessary information for maintenance related decision-making.
PULG-IN Valstaff quantifies the status of the control valves that used to be invisible, and supports early detection of problems and prevention of unscheduled equipment failure.

Issues during operation
Unexpected troubles affect the production
and quality of the products.
Before
There is no way to recognize that the inside of the control valves is in bad condition. Therefore, unnecessary maintenance is often held for the control valves with good condition.
As there is no way to know the condition of the inside of the control valves, the scope of maintenance is generally determined based on a period of time, not the actual condition of the control valves.
As such, control valves that are in good condition may be selected for maintenance, or damaged valves may not be inspected before a restart that subsequently causes trouble.
After
Smart Valve Positioner
Control valve maintenance support system PLUG-IN Valstaff
The status of the control valves can be identified from data collected by the Smart Valve Positioners while operating.
Analyzing and diagnosing the data collected by the PULG-IN Valstaff allows early detection and projection of trouble in each part of the valves while the plant is operating, which contributes to prevent equipment stoppage caused by faulty valves.
We propose a systematic and effective maintenance plan based on the condition of the control valves, and we support customers in developing the maintenance plan.
