Process control, asset management integration
Plant Asset Management uses a combination of software, smart instrumentation and fieldbus communications to continuously monitor critical plant assets, reducing the risk of failures while increasing equipment availability. Designed to integrate into the PCS 7 process control system, the software suite requires minimal engineering and configuration efforts.
Plant Asset Management uses a combination of software, smart instrumentation and fieldbus communications to continuously monitor critical plant assets, reducing the risk of failures while increasing equipment availability. Designed to integrate into the PCS 7 process control system, the software suite requires minimal engineering and configuration efforts. It integrates all plant assets into a single location for both process control and asset management information. The asset management software provides a comprehensive platform that includes all plant assets such as valves, process instrumentation, computers, networking equipment, drives, motors, pumps, process control components such as control processors and I/O modules, process analyzers and non-intelligent assets such as heat exchangers and other process equipment.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
