transmitters without the need to pre-pair config- urations. It’s equally quick and easy for customers to upgrade parts or customize communication options according to their changing needs. Just as importantly we’ve maintained compatibility with our previous-generation EM flowmeters. Modularity also simplifies support, maintenance and troubleshooting since standardized components can be easily replaced or upgraded with minimal disruption. In the past with our six different EM models, we manufactured Made to Order (MTO). Once we received the order from our customer we placed orders on our sub vendors. Our On Time Delivery (OTD) was compromised if our sub vendors didn’t deliver in time. Now with our new modular platform we can now manufacture Made to Stock (MTS) with semi-finished top and bottom works in stock at our UK factory based in Stonehouse. Our OTD deliveries will be better, and we have already seen reduction in our quoted lead times.
The benefits of modularity of the EM electronics are enhanced as the electronics platform is the same as that in our other four wire flow technologies such as coriolis and thermal mass. These range from the same user experience and introduction of new connectivity options such as Power Over Ethernet (POE).
CONNECTIVITY IS A BIG PART OF THE NEW ABB FLOWMETER STORY? WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT TO CUSTOMERS? IoT connectivity is embedded across all our new EM flowmeter models. This ensures seamless inte- gration with existing systems, enabling superior data analytics and process optimization. Users have a choice of high-speed communication options for plant-based or remote metering applications. IoT connectivity brings it all together by providing
WHY IS MODULARITY SO IMPORTANT? Building our latest flowmeters around a modular design concept allows customers to customize and upgrade their systems without replacing entire units, reducing downtime and investment costs. Customers in the utilities and process industries have been asking us for metering solutions that are designed to offer greater sustainability, lower ownership costs, in-built futureproofing and longer product lifecycles with less waste going into landfill. That’s why we’ve designed our latest-generation EM flowmeters around a common technology platform that lets customers take changing mission requirements in their stride with less costly disrup- tion to their everyday operations. The modularity of our ProcessMaster flowmeters makes it easy for customers to ‘mix and match’ different sensors and
