Toledo Tech Events

TST http://www.technicalsocietytoledo.org/ and ISA Toledo http://www.isa.org/~toled/ present "STEAM COFFIN: Captain Moses Rogers and The Steamship Savannah Break the Barrier," a multi-media presentation as historian and author John Laurence Busch will attempt to re-calibrate your mind before showing why the proposition of making the first crossing of the Atlantic Ocean on a "steamship" was met with a mixture of skepticism and fear.

Solving the Automation Productivity Puzzle Using FDT Technology, ISA 103 & IEC 62453.

Everyone is interested in doing more with less, increasing productivity, get or remain competitive, and maximizing installed assets. With the vast majority of the installed field instrument asset being “smart”, why are we not using these smart assets to help us improve operations, lower costs, improve productivity and move to a predictive rather than a preventative maintenance strategy? One reason is that plants today have multiple field protocols, connecting smart instruments made by multiple suppliers, connecting to multiple and aging control systems, expecting everything to work together as promised. This requires multiple tools and skill sets in order to manage and benefit from such an array of devices and protocols.

This presentation will review how the life-cycle benefits of FDT Technology can help you:

• Better utilize existing technology, assets and staff
• Lower maintenance and operating cost
• Reduce downtime and unscheduled outages
• Maximize your installed smart instrument asset for better asset management
