Manage structural assets cost effectively

Technews Industry Guide: Maintenance, Reliability & Asset Optimisation 2017 Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration

Web-based remote monitoring and control is a cost effective way to manage cathodic protected assets. The large geographic spread of these assets mandates a remote management philosophy structured to optimise the cost base. With the Internet proving to be a most reliable and long-lived technology for remote monitoring, due to secure storage and easy access of long-term data, better management of assets using an Omniflex web based Powerview CP system provides real cost advantages such as:

• Lower operating costs.

• Faster response times.

• Better service levels.

• Improved safety guarantees.

Why Powerview CP?

The system is extremely scalable. Whether you operate one system or one hundred systems, management and control of structural assets is made easier with a unified Omniflex solution. With Powerview CP users can remotely monitor, log and control a CP system from the web.

Some of the benefits of Powerview CP include:

• Manage all assets from one place.

• Gather data from CP systems worldwide over the GSM network.

• No specialist software or dedicated PC required.

• Log historical data and view trends remotely via Powerview login.

• Carry out remote testing i.e zone snapshots, reference snapshots, instant off tests, depolarisation tests and interference tests.

• Regular status report by email.

• Alarm condition alerts by SMS and email.

• Long-term web based data storage.
