Overview

Fieldbus Solutions Yield OpEx Savings
Fieldbus solutions are being deployed in greater numbers, in larger plants and in some instances becoming a corporate standard. As the lifecycle benefits of fieldbus solutions become more apparent, fieldbus is becoming more accepted in a wider range of industries and by greater numbers of end users.

At this stage of the fieldbus adoption curve, users have stated that they are realizing greater benefits as related to Operational Expenditures (OpEx) in the form of quality improvements. These improvements are due to the bi-directional communication and improved process efficiency of linked intelligent devices that are capable of remote diagnostics.

Driven by the need for knowledge of the manufacturing process, asset effectiveness optimization is critical to the performance-driven enterprise. Intelligent measurement and monitoring devices can generate information that can be used to detect and identify the causes of deviation from optimal performance. Fieldbus, as a means of gathering real-time information on which to base operational decisions, provides visibility and performance accountability that can improve operating conditions, and equipment availability that can assist in achieving higher asset effectiveness.

Strategic Issues

In the process industries, manufacturers are continuing to exhibit a cautious optimism toward fieldbus. Suppliers of fieldbus solutions face a variety of important strategic issues:

Are different strategies required for new installations versus legacy systems?
How will open fieldbus standards affect adoption?
What are the major obstacles limiting fieldbus growth?
How critical is initial cost in relation to total lifecycle cost?
How will fieldbus expand in functionality to fit a broader range of applications?
