Integrity Operating Windows In The Digital Era Presenter: Floyd Baker
Vice President, North America, Antea
Description:
Integrity Operating Windows (IOWs) refer to predefined limits on damage mechanisms that can affect an asset’s performance. When operating variables exceed the limits defined in an IOW, it indicates that an asset might be approaching conditions that could lead to preventable damage and failure. Thus, IOWs – as per API 584 -- are an established recommended practice to ensure the integrity of complex industrial equipment, and to enhance maintenance strategies to be more proactive.
In today’s digital era, as technology evolves at warp speed thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT), the power and efficacy of IOWs are transforming. This presentation will discuss the importance of a holistic, unified platform for managing mechanical integrity – and how that helps inform real-time intelligence for the IOWs. Attendees will learn about the evolution of IOWs, and how a digital platform with integrated data makes it possible to receive instant notifications the moment a variable approaches the limits of the IOW. This makes it possible to address issues before they become a concern for asset failure, unplanned shutdown, or process safety.
Join Floyd Baker, asset integrity expert and global keynote speaker with over 40 years of industry experience, for an informative presentation exploring the evolution of IOW in the digital era – and best practices for achieving preventive maintenance at your own facilities.
