How do you measure up?

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.
