InTech Focus: Temperature and Pressure

Temperature, pressure, and measurements from process control instrumentation are increasingly being recognized as key components for industrial asset health management specifically and for digital transformation overall. Determining why production unexpectedly stops mid-operation, or preemptively avoiding such stoppages, requires diagnostic data that can only come from the machines themselves. Gathering that data has been a mainstay of industrial operations for a long time. Viewing, analyzing, and applying the lessons of that data either to maintenance or real-time operations is the ongoing challenge.

Experienced personnel who understand measurement instrumentation—its potential as well as the limits—can help temper expectations and ensure digital transformation efforts are a success. Find out more in this edition of InTech Focus focused on temperature and pressure measurement.
