Emerson’s Reliability Solutions business drives top-quartile reliability though world-class reliability consulting and technologies for instrument and valve prediction, machinery prediction, and machinery protection. The reliability portfolio includes predictive maintenance and diagnostic software applications as well as technologies for online condition monitoring, wireless asset management, field communicators and route-based analyzers. Emerson’s reliability consulting services support all parts of the Reliability Value Chain, a framework to achieve Top-Quartile Reliability. The Reliability Value Chain consists of well-connected elements in four categories: data, information, knowledge, and action. It sets the path for transforming data into information, into knowledge, and into action. Ultimately, the ability to achieve top performance status is dependent on the robustness of each element and, perhaps more importantly, on connecting all of the elements into a continuous improvement cycle.
