Rigorous testing of this advanced field instrument proves improved accuracy
T
he rapid evolution of Industry 4.0 has placed an increasing demand on advanced automation and smart
technologies to optimise industrial processes. A key enabler of this transformation is the integration of intelligent field instruments that enhance operational efficiency and reliability. A comprehensive evaluation of the Focus-1 device by Nobian underscores the critical role of precision and efficiency in modern industry.
THE ROLE OF FOCUS-1 IN INDUSTRIAL OPTIMISATION The Focus-1 device streamlines process control by combining multiple functionalities, such as flow, pressure, and temperature measurements, into a single, compact unit. This integration reduces hardware complexity while improving real-time monitoring capabilities. As industrial processes become increasingly data-driven, the ability of a device to provide accurate and consistent measurements is crucial for operational stability. The elimination of multiple separate sensors not only reduces installation costs but also simplifies maintenance and calibration procedures. Industry 4.0 relies heavily on
connectivity and real-time data access for predictive maintenance and process optimisation. Focus-1’s integrated approach provides a unified data stream, allowing industrial operators to make informed decisions quickly. Furthermore, as energy efficiency becomes a primary concern, the device supports sustainable practices by reducing energy wastage and unnecessary resource consumption.
TESTING FOR RELIABILITY Nobian undertook an extensive testing programme to assess the

The Focus-1 device can function in extreme conditions, helping to prevent disruption
accuracy, responsiveness, and long- term reliability of Focus-1 in real- world industrial environments. The evaluation focused on:
Measurement accuracy: Ensuring that data collected by the device aligns with industry standards for precision, reducing process inefficiencies. Efficiency optimisation: Analysing how the device contributes to energy savings and process efficiency. System integration: Testing compatibility with existing industrial control systems for seamless connectivity. Environmental resilience: Assessing performance under varying temperature and pressure conditions to confirm reliability in demanding industrial settings.
FINDINGS AND INDUSTRIAL IMPLICATIONS The testing revealed that Focus-1 consistently delivered high measurement accuracy, reducing variability in process control. By consolidating multiple measurement functions, the device demonstrated efficiency gains, minimising the need for additional instrumentation and reducing maintenance costs.
Furthermore, its seamless integration with digital industrial networks facilitated better process visibility and data-driven decision-making. Additionally, the ability to function
in extreme conditions ensures that industrial operations can continue without disruption, even in challenging environments. This resilience is critical for industries such as chemical processing, energy production, and water treatment, where precise measurements and reliability are essential.
ADVANCING INDUSTRY 4.0 THROUGH SMART TECHNOLOGIES The successful evaluation of Focus-1 reaffirms the importance of smart instrumentation in achieving Industry 4.0 goals. As industries continue to embrace automation, devices like Focus-1 will play a pivotal role in enhancing digital transformation initiatives. Future advancements in intelligent
field instrumentation may include artificial intelligence for predictive analytics, further improving process optimisation. Such developments could enable industries to shift from reactive to proactive maintenance, minimising downtime and enhancing productivity.
