subject: Keeping labour costs and time wasted down [print this page] Operating in remote areas of a region can bring all kinds of complications around the management and control of specific equipment and processes.
Invariably, the work to assure continuous operation will involve regular monitoring and without the use of PLC systems, this task can involve extensive man hours and travel, costing a business significant time and money paying for their experts to go out and check everything on a regular basis.
Couple that with the need to ensure that these people are kept up to date with all the technology, and carry sufficient stores to remedy whatever problem they may find can equally tie up significant funds.
PLC Systems when used as field devices to collate and report data on the processes can also be utilised to instruct the systems to make adjustments (commands) to the process.
Such action may help mitigate the damage, even alleviate the problem through minor adjustment to the process control mechanisms or more importantly, when this is not possible, help to identify more specifically where the problem may be.
This can help reduce the amount of time your experts will need to spend to identify the problem or if you are fortunate enough to have process specific experts, you can arrange to send someone with the specific expertise in that particular area to remedy the problem.
