plant safety. For Industry 4.0 concepts
in operation and maintenance,
the field devices are accessed via
a second communication channel
without influencing the control system.
Adapters, gateways and edge
devices provide the necessary connectivity
on old and new plants. In
the future, the Advanced Physical
Layer will even enable fast two-wire
Ethernet in hazardous areas.
It would be worthwhile to treasure
the data from process analytics.
This is because, in addition
to a deeper understanding of the
process and better process control,
process analytics also enables
knowledge to be preserved, as it
provides relevant information about
the process. Quality managers obtain
a large database that they can
use to initiate fundamental changes
and minimize deviations in product
quality. Evaluations of these data
allow, among other things, the identification
of " golden batches. "
In addition, the numerous data availCall
the
Solids Mixing
Ribbon & Cone Blenders
Fluidizing Mixers
Sigma Blade Mixers
(also for high-viscosity mixing)
Size Reduction
Wet & Dry Size Reduction
Steel & Ceramic Lined Mills
Jars & Jar Rolling Mills
Vacuum Drying
Dryers & Complete Systems
able in the device on condition and
operating history support conditionbased
maintenance and maintenance
personnel in the event of damage.
Digital services are already available
today that make all field devices and
their data accessible from anywhere.
The applications (apps) help users,
for example, to record and manage
all the instruments in a plant, organize
device-related documents, or monitor
the device status and act correctly in
the event of a malfunction.
Remote maintenance systems also
allow PAT experts to support maintenance
personnel in a plant without
having to go onsite themselves. If a
fault condition is detected or suspected,
a more detailed condition
assessment can be carried out, and
repair measures can be prepared in
a more targeted manner. During onsite
maintenance, mobile devices are
used with which maintenance personnel
can access electronic documentation
on site, maintain maintenance
histories in the computerized
for all your solids processing

Wolfgang Lubcke is the global
business-development manager
- Analytics Business at
Endress+Hauser Group Services
AG (Kägenstrasse 2, 4153 Reinach,

endress.com). He has been with
the company for over 32 years,
carrying out different roles from classical product management
for level instrumentation towards global responsibility
for the chemical industry. With this background,
he is now in charge to help moving PAT to
become widely acceptable and recognized as a logical
extension of traditional instrumentation. Lubcke has an
engineering diploma from the Fachhochschule Furtwangen
- Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft.
