SAIMC: Johannesburg branch

November 2017 SAIMC

The last Technology Evening was hosted by Endress+Hauser where Dhiren Naidoo, product manager level and pressure, presented on Heartbeat Technology.

This presentation covered different diagnostic, verification and monitoring services offered by Heartbeat, as well as how this technology enables cost-effective and safe operation of a plant during its entire lifecycle. Heartbeat Technology complies with the requirements for traceable verification according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2008–Section 7.6 a) “Control of monitoring and measuring equipment” and is audited and attested by TÜV.

As explained to the attendees, the technology offers reliable self-monitoring diagnostics, compliant and traceable testing verification and supports condition-based maintenance, as compared to old technology instrumentation where verification tests are time consuming and can lead to possible production down time. The benefit of Heartbeat Technology is that it allows inline verification without process interruption. Verification is automatically generated and supports the documentation requested by internal and external procedures and standards.
