Anthony Valasek, PREMIER System Integrators
Strategic planning is critical to the growth and development of an organization. Like the trickling source of a river, the direction of an organization starts with vision and mission statements, turns into a stream of strategic objectives, and transforms into a river of goals for departments, teams and individuals. Successfully navigating the river requires never losing your heading or risk running aground. While the current may take you slightly off course, you have to make continuous corrections. Regularly measuring your progress toward your objectives is required to reach your destination. Whether you have never considered strategic planning or have been doing it for years and would like to gather another perspective, please join this brief webinar to gain fundamentals for strategic planning and how that process can improve your organization’s operations.

There is an increasing need for systems to become more lean and efficient to increase production, reduce costs and avoid unplanned shutdowns. Leveraging the power of smart instrumentation can be a powerful tool in providing these benefits. Most installed instrumentation in the field today are plain digital and analogue devices, however the majority of this instrumentation is also HART capable. HART diagnostic data provides the benefit of being able to maximize preventive maintenance and obtain the information needed to improve your system. With the advent of HART IP or HART over ethernet, there has never been a better time to start thinking of the plant of the future.

Ethernet networks are becoming a critical link between the Manufacturing and Automation Systems and the Business Systems. With the number of connected industrial devices expected to increase dramatically in the future—the Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly shifting toward an astonishing 50 billion connected devices by 2020—this creates a greater possibility of disruptions. With so many connected devices to manage, detection, diagnosis and problem resolution have become a costly and time-consuming task.IntraVUE, a premiere network diagnostic software tool, addresses the challenges unique to industrial environments, providing visibility into all levels of devices and connectivity, and enabling operational field technicians to efficiently communicate with IT resources. IntraVUE also helps to speed both documentation and deployment, and provides advanced analytics to optimize ongoing performance. Armed with this information, the software empowers controls professionals to shift from a reactive response approach—i.e.—responding only when a disruption occurs—to a pro-active approach, which can greatly improve both the uptime and performance of these critical, real-time networks.
