Valve digital services

Valmet's valve performance monitoring service detects valves, which performance has degraded. This can disturb the process to create a foundation for efficient maintenance planning and action prioritization. Our Valve performance monitoring maximizes plant reliability by predicting and preventing valve-related issues. 

ValvesNow solution offers automatic, cloud-based valve performance analysis tool and it can be accessed via Valmet Customer Portal. ValvesNow collects diagnostic data from Neles™ digital valve controllers on a daily basis and performs a comprehensive valve fleet performance analysis weekly. The analysis pinpoints the worst-performing devices and prioritizes valve issues.

Our Device Maintenance Solution (DMS) service is a comprehensive warehousing and maintenance solution to increase plant uptime and valve availability. With this service, all you critical valve products are covered by a stock of required components and spare parts to optimize availability. A predictive maintenance model maximizes plant reliability and uptime from valve products point of a view.

The extensive service also includes an installed base harmonization program and valve repair service. We guarantee fast response times to unplanned shutdowns and our stock management enables fast replacement service for the agreed stocked valves. The stock levels and items are developed continuously. In addition, we can offer our expert, a Resident technician, to guide and support you on site. 

With our vast knowledge of installed base, we are able to use advanced analytics to create inventory recommendations based on the valves and other flow control devices installed at your site. The advanced analytics are based on AI service demand model and also takes into account spare part lead times, criticality and your maintenance strategy.

This service helps you optimize your inventories. You'll have the best possible availability to recover fast from unexpected events and the right parts and amounts in your inventory.

Planning maintenance for a huge amount of valves for your upcoming shutdown can be complicated. There are so many things that need to be taken into account in the turnaround scope. 

With the help of our dedicated tools for shutdown planning in the Valmet Customer Portal, you can work on the same plan together with our Valmet experts. Our online shutdown planning tool will show all the recommendations and criticality next to your valve position information, making it easy to select the valves that need attention next.

All data will lose it’s accuracy with time if not maintained. Same goes for your installed base data. To ensure correct parts and maintenance focus, we offer installed base audits.

As there might be hundreds, or even thousands of valves at your site, it might be laborious to check all the valves in the field. Our digital audit gives you a list of devices where to focus first.

Identifying field device condition and maintenance requirements can be challenging. Unplanned maintenance, and unexpected device breakdowns can have a remarkable impact on plant or process uptime, not to mention possible financial impact. By understanding both the process and reliability requirements, and equipment and process criticality, maintenance plans can be established. Through such planning, you can ensure that maintenance and operating costs can be kept at a designated level without jeopardizing reliability.

In criticality analysis workshop our Valmet experts use a powerful template to define criticalities to all valves. After the workshop, you'll get a list of critical tags that can be updated in your system and all the service Valmet provides (shutdown planning, inventory management, installed base) will use the new criticality definition as base information.
