    Fisher digital valves with predictive diagnostics provide Shell with the power to improve process availability and increase platform reliability.

    The Perdido platform’s central control system utilizes Fisher digital valves with Emerson-developed Asset Management Software (AMS™) and the AMS ValveLink™ SNAP-ON™ application to monitor the process control equipment for optimal performance. This unique software solution utilizes predictive diagnostics to open a window to the process by giving a view of the valve’s actual position and operating characteristics as well as diagnostics of the entire valve assembly and instrument.

    Utilizing reliable Fisher digital valves with performance diagnostics has provided Perdido personnel the opportunity to make better-informed decisions, leading to increased safety, increased availability, reduced variability, process optimization, increased throughput and enhanced product quality.
