ABB has launched an online survey
that can instantly gauge plant
processes and instrumentation
performance against industry
benchmarks. Located at
www.howdoyoumeasureupabb.com,
the survey aims to provide a
snapshot of whether organisations
are fully maximising the potential of
their installed instrumentation and
control systems in the chemical, oil
and gas industry.

ABB commissioned an independent
research company to determine
performance against 10 key industry
process performance indicators, as
well as to assess the average
performance of organisations in
these areas. Indicators include how
effectively plant assets are being used
(including intelligent instrumentation),
age and certification of plant
equipment and the reasons for
investing in instrumentation.

On completion of the survey,
respondents are presented with a
personalised infographic, comparing
their answers against established
industry norms.
