And the BIG ONE: End ignorant operations as you begin receiving automatic
warnings on your computer or your smart phone when you approach your specified
control limits.
The 18 Steps
So whats it going to take? Tossing the clipboard is one thing.
Actually replacing it with a network of sensors is another.
If you feel thats no problem, here are the 18 steps:
1. Determine which critical systems to monitor.
2. Determine the best approach to monitoring those
critical systems: specifications, etc.
3. Consider incorporating security and safety monitoring in addition to process controls: IR motion
detectors, open/closed door sensors, critical asset
presence sensors, CO detectors, presence or absence
of non-combustible fluids. etc. (see reverse)
4. Determine the density of data gatheringone large area or an area divided into
specific zones.
5. Locate sensors to gather needed data most efficiently.
6. Select sensors that are most appropriate for the application. Consider
measurement tolerances, reporting
frequencies, temperature operating ranges
and optimum environmental conditions for
accuracy and product life.
7. If selecting sensors from a variety of sources
be aware of creating compatible reporting
requirements.
8. Identify data gathering and reporting
option(s).
9. Consider power requirements for each
sensor, in addition to batteries. You may
need power drops for each sensor.
10. Consider Ethernet access for all sensors.
